Filter by:To examine if educational digital video disk can reduce maternal anxiety and depression if their children undergo congenital heart disease surgery and when surgical or post-surgical complications occur. Compared to only routine education, adding digital video disk could decrease mothers' anxiety more after education, and until the day of discharge.

This study evaluates a cognitive behavioral therapy intervention for mothers with symptoms of anxiety and depression living in insecure environments using a randomized controlled methodology. Key outcomes of interest include maternal mental health and infant cognitive development. The intervention will be delivered by community mental health workers who will be trained to administer 8 to 12 cognitive behavioral therapy sessions.
Purpose: The investigators plan a feasibility study on an easily disseminated biofeedback tool to reduce stress among hospitalized and expecting mothers. Converging evident suggests that Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback (HRVB) can improve the threshold of stress management and improve executive functioning. Additionally HRVB has been shown to significantly reduce anxiety features in women suffering from perinatal depression. The investigators hypothesize that HRVB will reduce stress levels among expecting mothers hospitalized for pregnancy complications, who are at high risk for depression and anxiety. Participants: Expecting mothers hospitalized for pregnancy complication, who are at high risk for depression and anxiety. Procedures: The investigators plain to use a heart rate variability biofeedback tool to measure stress reduction in hospitalized expectant mothers. This tool will be coupled with validated surveys and scales, high frequency heart rate variability, saliva samples, and qualitative interviews to quantify the reduction in stress from the HRVB tool.
Study objective is to evaluate the additive effect of maternal singing during skin to skin contact (Kangaroo Care) on anxiety reduction both to infants and their mothers.
