Filter by:The goal of this trial to test if a web-based psychoeducation will work in improving depression help-seeking intention and behavior among antenatal women with probable depression in Eswatini. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does the web-based psychoeducation improve depression help-seeking intention and help-seeking behavior in antenatal women with probable depressive symptoms? Researchers will compare this web-based psychoeducation to a waitlist control, to see if the program works in improving depression help-seeking intention and behavior during pregnancy. - The psychoeducation program will have a total of 4 sessions, which will be given to participants over a two-week period. two sessions will be delivered each week. - Participants will be asked questions before the intervention starts, immediately the intervention ends as well as after a month of completing the intervention.
Pregnant women in pregnancy week 8-29 screening positive for antenatal depression will be randomized to either choose or to be allotted by chance to different forms of diagnostic assessment; i.e. telephone, video or face-to-face assessment. Those diagnosed with mild to moderate major depression will then be randomized to treatment with therapist-guided Internet-delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) adapted for women suffering from antenatal depression or to the same treatment with addition of up to three contacts with extra support by a midwife or experienced perinatal mental health nurse. The primary aim is to assess whether extrasupport in addition to internet-guided pregnancy adapted ICBT decreases depressive symptoms more than internet-guided pregnancy adapted ICBT only. Secondary aims include effects of extrasupport and assessment mode on treatment satisfaction, fidelity and credibility.
The main objective of the current research project is to evaluate the effectiveness of the digitalized cognitive behavioral therapy program including telephone coaching for antenatal depressive symptoms. The participants are screened from the general population of pregnant women, as a part of the routine maternity health care check-ups. Mothers with depressive symptoms will be randomized into intervention group receiving guided digitalized treatment program or control group receiving education material about depression in digital form.
