Managing PPD at Gouverneur

Post-Partum Depression

A Stepped Care pathway for managing postpartum depression (PPD) in pediatric primary care settings will be used to (1) understand context for implementation feasibility (2) evaluate benefits for mother and child. The proposed pilot project will be conducted as part of a quality improvement effort in the Department of Pediatrics at Gouverneur Health Services to improve management of postpartum depression during pediatric primary care visits. This project will test the feasibility of a stepped care approach to identifying and managing depression among mothers of infants (0-6 months). This study will provide preliminary data on the feasibility of the care management protocol, implementation and fidelity measures, and training/consultation methods within a real world pediatric care practice. These data will inform and support the preparation of a large-scale NIH grant. Specific research questions include: To pilot the feasibility of using a Stepped Care Approach to identify and mange maternal depression within primary care pediatric care visits, with a focus on mothers of infants 0-6 months. Train non specialty MH providers to systematically identify maternal depression. Assess how effective integration of maternal depression intervention is as part of well baby visits. To o examine the impact of STRONG, a brief 3-session IPT-based preventive intervention, on maternal and child health outcomes (e.g., maternal depression symptoms, child receipt of acute care services). Secondary outcomes include maternal social support and parenting practices.

Ketamine to Improve Recovery After Cesarean Delivery - Part 1

Obstetric PainPostpartum Depression8 more

The objective of this study is evaluate the breastmilk transfer and pharmacokinetics (Part 1) and effectiveness (Part 2) of a post-cesarean delivery intravenous ketamine bolus-and-infusion strategy, as a preventive analgesic modality to reduce pain and opioid requirements. In Part 1, physiochemical analysis of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) and breastmilk transfer of ketamine and its metabolites will be assessed. Additionally calculated estimations for neonatal and infant exposure will be assessed. In Part 2, PK/PD assessments will continue in a larger cohort; endpoints will also include postpartum pain, depression scores, central sensitization measures, patient-reported postpartum recovery scores, breastfeeding, and parent-infant bonding, assessed in the acute post-cesarean period and up to 12 weeks postpartum in a randomized controlled trial.

Effect of a Telephone-based Intervention on Postnatal Depression

Postnatal Depression

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of a telephone-based intervention using cognitive-behavioral approach in preventing postnatal depression and improving quality of life in first-time Chinese mothers. Hypothesis: Women who receive the telephone-based cognitive-behavioral intervention will have a lower level of depressive symptoms (primary outcome) and a higher level of quality of life at 6 weeks and 6 months postpartum than those who receive the usual postpartum care. Design and subjects: Randomized controlled trial is used. A sample of postpartum women with high risk of postnatal depression (EPDS > 9, n = 498) will be randomly assigned to either the experimental (n = 249) or the control groups (n = 249). The experimental group receives the intervention and the control group receives usual postpartum care. Study instruments: EPDS and Medical Outcomes Study Short Form Health Survey (SF-12). Interventions: The intervention is based on the cognitive-behavioral approach. It consists of five, 30-minutes sessions delivered weekly from postpartum week one to week five via telephone. Main outcome measures and analysis: Outcomes on postnatal depression and quality of life will be measured by EPDS and SF-12, respectively, at 6 weeks and 6 months postpartum. A repeated-measures multivariate analysis of variance will be used to compare differences between two groups.

Duloxetine for the Treatment of Postpartum Depression

Postpartum DepressionMajor Depressive Disorder

The purpose of this study is to assess whether the antidepressant, duloxetine, is equally effective as a treatment for subjects who have a Postpartum Onset Depression compared to subjects who have an onset of Major Depressive Disorder prior to delivery. The hypothesis is that duloxetine will be as effective in subjects with Postpartum Major Depressive Disorder as in subjects with a Major Depressive Disorder.

Improving Health Outcomes for New Mothers and Babies

HyperbilirubinemiaJaundice2 more

Because adherence to postnatal care guidelines across the United States (U.S.) is poor, newborns and mothers often are placed at undue risk for adverse medical and social outcomes. This study aims to evaluate an alternative model of care and improve healthcare delivery to and reduce health disparities for "well" newborns and mothers after hospital discharge by using single postnatal home nurse visits. The principal investigator has previously shown a reduction in poor outcomes for infants who receive a home visit after discharge when studied retrospectively. The proposed research will build on the previous study and prospectively evaluate the impact of a single home nursing visit on morbidities and health disparities for newborns and mothers in a randomized, controlled trial involving 1154 mother/infant breastfeeding dyads. Home visits should guarantee detailed assessment during an at-risk period of infancy and motherhood, where medical and social problems can be recognized, anticipated, and/or treated, and can bridge the gap between hospital care and primary care. The investigators' program, The Nurses for Infants Through Teaching and Assessment after the NurserY (NITTANY) Initiative, also will consider the cost-effectiveness of home visitation compared with guidelines-adherent outpatient clinic care.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Postpartum Depression

Postpartum Depression

Hypothesis 1: Pregnant women in the EFT group will have a lower test score from Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale, and a follow-up score of three months and six months after the last application date, compared to the control group. Hypothesis 2: In the post-test of pregnant women in the EFT group, three months and six months after the last application date, the optimistic, self-confident and social support approach methods used to deal with stress will increase, and the helpless and submissive approach styles will decrease compared to the control group. Hypothesis 3: Pregnant women in the EFT group will have a lower test score from the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and a follow-up score of three months and six months after the last application date, compared to the control group.

rTMS for Peripartum Depression

Postpartum DepressionAntepartum Depression1 more

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a neuromodulatory technique that is effective in major depression. There is preliminary evidence suggesting that rTMS is effective in peripartum depression as well, however this comes from a number of very small studies. The objective is to study the effectiveness of rTMS in peripartum depression. The investigators will do so using an open label design in which participants will receive rTMS for four weeks. The focus is on clinical improvement in depressive symptoms; however the investigators will also look at other aspects such as perinatal anxiety and maternal-infant bonding as measured by self-report questionnaires.
