Filter by:The goal of the proposed research is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a virtual group session which is intended to be offered universally to Spanish-speaking parents of newborns/infants attending pediatric primary care. The virtual session is intended to (1) enhance patient/family education about postpartum depression (PPD) and (2) Provide an orientation to families regarding relevant clinic and community psychosocial support resources available. The investigators will conduct a single-arm, open pilot of the session, which will be co-delivered by existing clinic staff (including social work and community outreach staff). Session contents include (1) Introduction to clinic staff, contacts, and resources (2) A video-recorded testimonial of a patient with a history of perinatal depression followed by a group discussion about/reflection on the video; (3) Review of prevalence and signs of PPD; (4) Discussion of clinic PPD screening procedures and rationale for screening; (5) Discussion of self-care and mood monitoring; (6) Discussion of relevant local resources, including information about availability of primary care resources for parents (including uninsured parents) and information about resources addressing social needs. The overall aim of the project is to Develop and pilot a virtual group augmentation of standard individual well-child care to improve (1) clinic screening procedures, discussion about and initial management of maternal depressive symptoms with immigrant Latinas and (2) patient symptom recognition, symptom disclosure, and subsequent treatment engagement
The long-term goal is to develop effective parenting strategies to facilitate optimal child development for mothers suffering with PPD symptoms. The overall objective for this application is to study whether this program combined with online depression treatment leads to more responsive parenting (target) and signals improved child language, socioemotional and cognitive development (outcomes) compared to depression treatment alone. Findings from this application can be used to inform a future study to test the effectiveness and implementation of this social media-based parenting program.
The objective of this study is to assess if the addition of an early postpartum visit improves attendance at postpartum visits. We seek to evaluate if an additional early postpartum visit improves patient education, satisfaction, or trust in the clinicians during the postpartum period; all of which may ultimately facilitate improved outcomes. Additionally, we seek to explore patient preferences for postpartum care delivery.
The SUPPORT Study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and usability of postpartumcare.ca, a web-enabled resource for postpartum depression (PPD) and postpartum anxiety (PPA), created based on the input of birthing parents in British Columbia (BC) affected by these disorders.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a text message intervention called Essential Coaching for Every Mother in Tanzania to improve mothers' access to essential newborn care information during the immediate six-week postnatal period.
Objective: To determine the effect of online postpartum follow-up on depression and postpartum adaptation. Design: A parallel-randomized-controlled study Setting: During 2021 in Turkey Participants: 52 women in the postpartum period Measurements: Data were collected through the Personal Information Form, the Follow-up Form, the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS), and the Postpartum Self-Assessment Scale (PSAS). The women in the experimental group were administered three follow-ups (education/consultancy) in line with the timing and content in the T.R. Ministry of Health Postpartum Care Management Guide (2014). The follow-ups were performed using the Zoom® program, which enabled video talk. The women in the control group received the routine follow-up and care provided by the hospital.
The purpose of this proposal is to test the efficacy of yoga as a mind and body intervention to decrease stress, anxiety, and depression in parents of critically ill neonates hospitalized in the Seattle Children's and University of Washington neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).
Public Health Nurses received training to deliver a day-long Cognitive Behavioural Therapy-based workshop for treating postpartum depression. Participants in the study are randomly assigned to the treatment group (1-day CBT workshop) or control group (usual postnatal care). Data will be collected from all participants at baseline, 3 and 6 months. The study will aim to assess the feasibility of our methods and estimate the treatment effect of the primary outcome in preparation for a larger RCT. Objectives include: - Recruit and randomize 96 participants within 5 months - Questionnaire completion - 75% of participants complete all three questionnaires and structured interviews - Retention - 75% of participants remain in study until completion - 75% of participants in treatment group complete the intervention - Estimate treatment effect and variance
Postpartum depression is a serious illness that affects approximately 17% of women who have recently given birth. Untreated depression appears to have negative effects for both the mother and her baby. Postpartum depression is quite common among women with a history of depression. Sleeplessness is a common concern during pregnancy and after delivery, and it can also trigger depression in women with a history of depression. Antidepressants are the most commonly recommended drugs for prevention of postpartum depression; however, there is limited research to understand the effectiveness of the medications in preventing postpartum depression. Trazodone is a weak antidepressant, but it is commonly prescribed for sleeplessness due to physical or psychiatric disorders. We are planning a study to find out whether trazodone in a low dose is more effective than a sugar pill in preventing postpartum depression among women with histories of depression. We expect the results of our study will make it easier for healthcare providers to select the right medication for women who are at risk of developing depression after delivery and thus improve the mental health of mothers and well-being of their babies.
The primary objective of this study is to determine if online group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for maternal postpartum depression (PPD) added to treatment as usual (TAU) leads to greater improvements in infant emotion regulation (ER) than maternal receipt of TAU alone immediately post-treatment and 6 months later. This study will also aim to determine what mechanisms PPD treatment leads to changes in infant ER.
