The goal of this educational clinical trial is to identify Black women most at risk for poor outcomes following delivery, the problems they experience, and to create a system to improve quality of postpartum care for high-risk women. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - How can the investigators help postpartum Black people who have poor outcomes by decreasing the number of ED visits/readmissions for postpartum people within the first 30 days postpartum? - How can the investigators increase the ability of participants to "obtain needed services" and ability for patients to see their provider when they need to, in the 30-day post discharge period as one of the main pathways of unnecessary ED visits? Participants will be put into the study group or control group. The study group will receive a pamphlet postpartum with helpful information as well as a patient navigator who the participants will be able to reach out to their first 30 days postpartum.
A randomized controlled study will be conducted to evaluate the impact of nursing intervention based on Meleis' Transition Theory on postpartum depression, maternal self-efficacy, and breastfeeding self-efficacy in women who have experienced preterm birth. The postpartum period represents a transitional and adaptive phase for mothers as they embrace a new role. However, the occurrence of preterm birth and the necessity of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) care for the newborn can initiate emotional distress in mothers, particularly when facing the admission of their infants to the intensive care setting. Consequently, the transition to new roles for mothers becomes challenging. A healthy transition to the maternal role is crucial for mothers who have experienced preterm birth, positively influencing maternal self-efficacy and breastfeeding practices while reducing the likelihood of postpartum depression. Therefore, the transition to motherhood in women with preterm births is of paramount importance for both the mother and the premature infant, warranting careful consideration and discussion. Women who have experienced preterm birth will constitute the population of the study. During the research period, women who have experienced preterm birth and whose infants are admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) will form the population of the study, and the sample will consist of women who consent to participate in the study during the study period. The sample size was estimated using power analysis (G Power 3.1.9.4.) program with a power of (1-β=0.90) and a significance level of (α=0.05), taking into account the mean and standard deviation of a similar study in the literature (Kadiroğlu and Güdücü Tüfekci 2022) (63.53±8.67 for the experimental group; 56.63±9.73 for the control group). The sample size of the study was calculated to be sufficient with a total of 64 women, with 32 women in each group. Considering potential losses during the study process, and in order not to compromise the statistical power of the research, an additional 20% of women were included in the study, resulting in a total of 76 women to be included in the study. Within the scope of the research, data will be obtained through the 'Personal Data Form' containing information about the socio-demographic characteristics of the participating women, as well as the 'Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale,' 'Perceived Maternal Self-Efficacy Scale,' and the 'Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale.
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.
Suboptimal postpartum health outcomes in the US, including low rates of lactation and high rates of postpartum depression, contribute to high rates of perinatal mortality and morbidity as well as long-term and intergenerational health outcomes. Black birthing parents and infants are at the highest risk, with the lowest rates of lactation and the highest rates of postpartum depression. Yet most interventions to support lactation and postpartum mental health are based on models of care that are unrepresentative of Black and global majority communities. The principal investigator's previous Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) using soft infant carriers to increase parent-infant physical contact was effective in increasing lactation and decreasing postpartum depression in a sample of Latinx postpartum parents. Infant carrying, or "babywearing," is a culturally relevant prevention strategy based on models of parenting representative of Black and global majority communities. In this study, the investigators use strategies from implementation research and clinical effectiveness research to assess an infant carrier intervention within a community-based, culturally specific perinatal home visiting program for Black birthing parents.
The research to be conducted within the scope of the project will be randomized controlled, and the population of the research will be primiparous pregnant women reached through social media. Primiparous pregnant women in the 32nd - 40th weeks of pregnancy will be included in the study, and the sample size is determined by using the G*Power (3.1.9.2) program, considering a margin of error of 0.05 and data loss, with a power of 95% and a medium effect size; 27 people should be included in the experimental (baby massage) group and 27 people in the control group. In determining the groups, participants will be assigned to experimental and control groups using the "Randomizer.org" program. Pregnant women included in the research will be informed about the study and will be presented with an "Informed Consent Form" and "Voluntary Consent Form". Baby massage training will be given to the experimental group, and a reminder training will be given 2 weeks later. "Personal Information Form", "Prenatal Attachment Inventory" and "Beck Depression Inventory" will be applied to both groups at the beginning of the study, and postpartum 30-42 weeks. and 60-72. "Maternal Attachment Scale" and "Edinburg Postpartum Depression Scale" will be administered between days.
Rosie the Chatbot is an educational chatbot that moms can have on their computers or cellphones and will work by moms typing in their questions about pregnancy, health, infant milestones, and other variety of health related topics and receiving back a response immediately. Rosie only provides information from verified sources such as children's hospitals, health organizations and government agencies. Rosie does not ask moms to provide any personal information on her or her child, her chat is completely confidential, it works in English and Spanish and will be free.
This hybrid effectiveness-implementation project will allow the team to evaluate and refine implementation in preparation for future multisite trials to ultimately move the Evidence-Based Intervention (EBI) to scale among diverse populations. The plan is to enroll 120 at-risk pregnant and postpartum women from rural, urban, and Latino populations. Using a randomized preference design to also evaluate patient and sociocultural factors in participation and symptom trajectory. Using the Implementation Research Logic Model, the team will evaluate the implementation feasibility and acceptability of a remote-access and on-demand MBCT PD prevention intervention that is integrated within maternal clinical care settings using an existing patient portal. Successful achievement of the study aims will result in a refined implementation protocol for future studies that are sufficiently powered to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated Digital Mental Health Technology and to estimate the cost/benefit ratio
Many pregnant women face the risk of experiencing depression after giving birth, especially if they've previously dealt with depression. The goal of this study, is to test if our newly developed Prenatal Affective Cognitive Training (PACT) intervention, can decrease the likelihood of post partum depression. In the study, 226 pregnant women, some of whom are considered high risk due to past mental illness or psycho-social risk factors, will participate. The high-risk women will be divided into two groups. One group will undergo the PACT training, which involves computer and virtual reality exercises spanning five weeks, designed to improve mood and emotional regulation. The other group will receive usual care. The main aim is to observe whether the women who undergo PACT intervention are less prone to depression after childbirth compared to those who do not. This study has potential to offer a simple, non-invasive method to bolster mental health in expectant mothers, which could also positively impact their infants.
