Filter by:A parallel group RCT with experimental (immediate workshop) and waitlist control (treatment 12 weeks later) groups will address our objectives. All participants will be asked to complete study questionnaires at baseline (T1, 3 weeks before the intervention/first workshop) and 12 weeks later (T2, just prior to the waitlist control/second workshop). Workshops will be delivered by trained peer leaders (women who have recovered from PPD). The study will aim to determine if online 1-day CBT-based workshops for PPD delivered by trained lay peers added to care as usual during the COVID-19 pandemic: (1) can improve PPD more than usual care alone, (2) are cost-effective, (3) can reduce the impact of common comorbidities and complications of PPD including anxiety, partner-relationship discord, social support, infant temperament, parenting stress, and poorer mother-infant attachment.
The primary objective of this study is to determine if online group CBT for PPD delivered by public health nurses is superior to postnatal care as usual in: a) acutely treating PPD, b) reducing relapse and recurrence, c) improving common comorbidities and complications of PPD including anxiety and the mother-infant relationship, and d) to determine if this treatment is cost-effective.
The purpose of this study is to test patient feasibility and acceptability of virtual reality biofeedback program in postpartum women for anxiety and depression outcomes.
Postpartum depression (PPD) affects up to one in five of women and has profound effects on mothers and their infants. Unfortunately, fewer than 15% of women with PPD receive evidence-based care. This is at least partly due to significant difficulties faced by women in accessing psychotherapies, their preferred treatment for PPD. Around the world, there is a significant lack of healthcare professionals trained to deliver CBT. This study will utilize a randomized controlled trial design (with wait-list controls) and recruit 174 participants to determine if women with a past history of PPD (i.e., lay peers) can be trained to deliver effective group CBT online to women currently struggling with PPD. If peers can be trained to provide effective CBT, more women would receive treatment and the burden of PPD on women, families, and the healthcare system would be significantly reduced.
Depressed mothers (pregnant and post-delivery) make up a significant portion of Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) clients. Home visited mothers often experience family conflict that precipitates or worsens their depressive symptoms. This study uses an effectiveness-implementation hybrid type 1 design with a pilot randomized trial to test the feasibility, acceptability, tolerability, safety, and preliminary effectiveness of an innovative family therapy intervention that uses technology to bypass barriers to increase access to treatment for this vulnerable population.
This study is a six-week exploratory developmental phase (phase 1) of a larger project to develop an mHealth intervention targeting health education and social support for Indian women in the postnatal period. Phase 1 of the trial exposes study participants to various intervention modalities and seeks to understand their experiences and perspectives on these using mixed-methods. Results from this trial will inform modifications to the intervention to be tested in Phase 2.
The purpose of the present randomized controlled study is to investigate if there is a difference in postpartum depression symptoms among participants assigned to : 1. an automated conversational agent based on the most researched and scientifically validated psychotherapies, primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and accessible via an iOS and Android application, or to 2. a comparison condition without CBT and conversation, though still delivered in an interactive smartphone application that is accessible anytime of day.
Postpartum depression (PPD) already affects up to 1 in 5 women and left untreated costs $150,000 per case over the lifespan. Under normal conditions, just 10% of women with PPD get evidence-based treatment, a situation that has worsened substantially during COVID-19. The purpose of this study is to a assess if self-referred, online adaptation of a 1-Day Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)-Based Workshop for PPD delivered up to 30 women at a time can lead to reductions in PPD, if the workshops are cost-effective, and to assess workshop impact on common complications of PPD (anxiety, partner relationship discord, problems with mother-infant attachment). 388 women will be randomized to receive either immediate treatment or treatment 12 weeks later (waitlist control). Study measures will be collected at baseline (immediately before treatment workshop) and 12 weeks later (immediately before wait list control workshop).
The aim of this multicenter prospective study is to evaluate the association between the Covid-19 pandemic maternal psychological distress with the postpartum depression, demographic and anaesthesiologic variables
There are studies in the literature that associate oxytocin level with postpartum depression. This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between oxytocin levels measured during pregnancy and postpartum depression symptoms.
