Filter by:The prospective and two-arm randomized controlled study was conducted on n = 82 (41 = control, 41 = music group) mothers who gave birth at term at Trakya University Health Research and Application Center Maternity Service between May and December 2023. The music group was listened to Turkish music played for 30 minutes every day for 2 postpartum days. Research data were collected through the "Personal Information Form", "Stein Blues Scale (SDS)" and Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS). The scales used in the research were evaluated four times: pre-, intermediate, follow-up and post-test. Descriptive statistics, Pearson and Spearman's correlation analyzes will be used in the analysis of research data.
Mental health symptoms - especially depression and anxiety - are very common in new parents, affecting close to 20% of mothers and at least 10% of fathers. When such symptoms progress to severe levels, they can be more difficult to treat. Early identification of symptoms and prompt treatment are ideal. Despite broad awareness that mental health symptoms in new parents are common, few systems are in place to automatically assess and monitor such symptoms. Evidence-based symptom surveys that can identify parents at risk for postpartum mental health disorders exist, and effective medication and non-medication treatment options are available. Yet, most primary care settings do not have systems in place to ensure that parents with mental health problems (and especially fathers) are identified and treated. This study will use a digital application with a customized website, electronic medical record and email integration to engage parents in assessing their mental health symptoms within weeks of the birth of their new baby. Electronic symptom surveys, sent on behalf of the family doctor, will be used to support proactive, personalized postpartum mental healthcare (P3MH). Responses will be used to enable a tailored care plan for the patient, including advice about options for referrals, treatment, and local community-based psycho-educational and/or social supports. This eHealth intervention includes a web-based application for parents and seamless integration in the EMR, so that when the family doctor sees the patient in clinic, relevant information is ready to be discussed. In this study, a co-design process will be carried with patients and health professionals to refine this eHealth intervention, and determine the usability, user experience, and perceived value of this process in terms of whether it enables mental health symptoms to be caught early and managed in the best way possible for each parent. The procedures will also be piloted for a future large-scale evaluation.
