Filter by:The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to validate a digital health tool, Dana app, that enhances well-being and supports mental health monitoring for women during the perinatal period. The primary purpose is to improve maternal well-being, early detection of mental health issues, and aid in the diagnosis and monitoring by healthcare professionals in women transitioning into motherhood. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the app improve overall maternal well-being during the perinatal period? - Can the app increase the early detection rates of perinatal mental health disorders? - Can the app be an effective tool to support healthcare professionals to diagnose perinatal mental health problems? - How effective is the app in improving obstetric outcomes and the psychological and cognitive development of infants? Researchers will compare the group using the app with a control group not using the digital tool to see if Dana provides significant improvements in maternal and infant health outcomes. Participants will: - Use the mobile application from 12-14 weeks of gestation until 24 months postpartum. - Undergo regular assessments to monitor their emotional state, lifestyle, clinical, and obstetric data. - Participate in evaluations for their infants' psychological and cognitive development at various stages from birth to two years old. This trial is conducted at multiple centers, including Hospital Vall d'Hebron, the Sexual and Reproductive Health Care Services (ASSIR) in Tarragona and ASSIR Litoral (Barcelona), Hospital del Mar, following CONSORT standards. The study aligns with the Health and Culture priorities of the Spanish Government's Scientific, Technical, and Innovation Research Plan 2021-2023.

The Mothers & Babies Program (MB) is a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-based program that has been shown to prevent PPD among high-risk mothers without a prior history of depression. MB has been so consistently effective that the United States Preventive Services Task Force recommends this program be given to high-risk pregnant patients. Originally designed to be given in-person and via groups, MB has been adapted to be given in person one-on-one in clinic or at home and via text message. However, MB has yet to be adapted to a smartphone application (app). Via evidence-based qualitative research and end-user centered design, MB has been adapted to a novel app, M.Bapp. This study aims to examine the feasibility and acceptability of M.Bapp as a study intervention for perinatal patients as well as provide preliminary estimates of effect for the intervention.
The investigator's long-term goal is to mitigate pregnancy-related mortality (PRM) risk by systematically delivering integrated clinical and supportive care that is effective, equitable, and scalable. The investigator's central hypothesis is that the Multi-modal Maternal Infant Perinatal Outpatient Delivery System (MOMI PODS) will mitigate postpartum (PP) risk and reduce disparities in PP risk by improving biopsychosocial profiles and facilitating access to evidence-based clinical and supportive care. To test this hypothesis, the investigators will conduct a hybrid type 1 randomized controlled trial (RCT) of MOMI PODS versus enhanced usual care (EUC, which we will term MOMI CARE) among a total sample of 384 mother-infant dyads (192/group) following pregnancy affected by a cardiometabolic and/or mental health condition. The investigators will enroll participants on PP day 1 and collect data at baseline and 6 months and 1 year PP. The investigators will collect implementation and service data across sites.
The goal of this project is to facilitate the design of individualized postpartum anxiety (PPA) screening strategies in British Columbia (BC), Canada. A cohort of postpartum people (n=550) will be invited to complete the following seven questionnaires at 4-8 weeks after delivery: 1. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory 2. Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale 3. Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support 4. PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) Emotional Distress-Anger, Short Form 5-a 5. Short Form Brief Pain Inventory 6. WHOQOL-BREF for assessing quality of life 7. PROMIS Sleep Disturbance Short Form 8-b and PROMIS Sleep-Related Impairment Short Form 8-a The investigators will evaluate the feasibility of screening for postpartum anxiety and comorbid conditions through a web-based platform in a diverse BC population. They will assess the usability of the platform and questionnaires through 12-15 follow-up interviews with study participants and responses to the System Usability Scale. Their analysis will also identify patient characteristics and comorbidities (e.g., anger, pain, sleep disturbance) associated with a positive screen for postpartum anxiety.
This study aims to examine the scientific mechanisms of whole-body hyperthermia (WBH), a novel, rapidly acting, single session antidepressant and anxiolytic therapy. It also aims to determine its feasibility and acceptability in women with postpartum depression (PPD). The study will enroll four cohorts of participants: healthy postpartum controls; postpartum women with PPD; healthy adult controls; and adults with major depressive disorder or anxiety disorders in a longitudinal protocol.
Experiencing postpartum mood and/or anxiety disorders (like postpartum depression; PMADs) can make parenting challenging, but group therapy may help both these parents and their babies. This study will test whether postpartum parents with PMADs find a 12-session parenting group therapy to be likable, doable, and helpful for mental health, parenting stress, and relationship with their infant. The therapy that is being tested is called the Connecting and Reflecting Experience (CARE) parenting program, which has not yet been used specifically with postpartum parents with PMADs, but has been found to be appealing and helpful among parents/caregivers of older children with mental health conditions. CARE focuses on parents' ability to consider how their own and their children's thoughts, feelings, intentions, and other mental states shape behavior and parent-child relationships. Participants in the study will be asked to fill out surveys before, during, and after participating in the group therapy. Adults may be eligible to participate in the study if they gave birth to an infant who is now 3 to 12 months old, are receiving postpartum medical and/or mental health care at Montefiore Medical Center, and have experienced postpartum depression and/or anxiety.
Read more »The study investigates the effectiveness of the mindfulness-based intervention "Mindful with your Baby" in women with babies between 5-9 months postpartum who experience heightened levels of postpartum depression, anxiety and/or parental stress. The intervention "Mindful with your Baby" is one of the very few interventions for maternal postnatal mental health issues that takes the bond between mother and infant into account. It is hypothesized that the "Mindful with your Baby" intervention will reduce levels of postpartum depression, anxiety and parental stress, and improve mother-infant behavioral interaction and increase neural synchrony between mother and infant brains.
The goal of this clinical intervention study is to construct a neonatal skin contact program for cesarean section primipara families with the cooperation of both parents.So as to provide theoretical basis and practical guidance for pregnant women and their spouses, and reduce the possibility of anxiety and depression of pregnant women and their spouses. Promoting the ability of fathers to participate in co-parenting can help mothers and their spouses adapt to the new role of ' parents ' and enhance their sense of parenting competence and happiness. The main questions it aims to answer are: - How to publicize and educate knowledge about co-parenting theory and skin contact knowledge and use the co-parenting theory to design a suitable skin contact scheme? - What are the benefits of skin to skin contact between parents after cesarean section? 1. Participants will take prenatal classes on co-parenting and skin to skin contact. 2. Participants will receive brochures on co-parenting theory and skin to skin contact. 3. Participants will receive face-to-face skin-to-skin contact guidance every day during postpartum hospitalization to correctly perform skin to skin contact. 4. Participants will be online to punch in skin contact. There is a comparison group: routine prenatal and post-natal care without additional educational support. Researchers will compare the comparison group to see the cesarean section parents in the postpartum distribution of skin contact tasks, joint skin contact, whether will the intimate relationship between parents and infants, parents ' mental health, anxiety level.

Participation would involve completing online questionnaires. You may be eligible to participate if you are age 18-45 years, are pregnant and entering prenatal care in one of MUSC's OB clinics, and attended a prenatal appointment at an MUSC clinic.
To conduct a randomized controlled trial (N=408) examining the impact of an online cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)-based workshop on rates of postpartum depression (i.e., EPDS scores at 2-months postpartum) when added to treatment as usual (TAU) compared to TAU alone.
