Postpartum DepressionPostpartum AnxietyThis study is a pilot, single-center, randomized controlled trial. It will determine feasibility and acceptability of an evidence-based intervention for prevention of postpartum depression with antepartum patients on a high-risk obstetric unit, determine what adaptations may be needed for an inpatient population determine what retention strategies are most successful and acceptable for this patient population estimate the effect size of an intervention for in-hospital distress, anxiety and depression estimate the effect size of an intervention to reduce the risk of a post-partum depression diagnosis or depressive symptoms.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Postpartum Depression
Postpartum DepressionHypothesis 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.
Does Enhancing Maternal Peer Interactions Decrease Rates of Postpartum Depression?
Postpartum DepressionThe long-term goal of this study is to validate a simple and inexpensive intervention to reduce the incidence and impact of Postpartum Depression (PPD). The central hypothesis is that enhancing social support of new mothers specifically via an organized peer get-together will decrease rates of postpartum depression. The rationale for the proposed research is that even though PPD is common and risk factors for developing PPD are known, simple and inexpensive interventions to prevent PPD need to be studied. Postpartum mothers will be recruited for the study and randomized into control versus intervention group. The intervention group will be placed in a peer discussion group. Incidence of PPD will be tracked.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for the Prevention of Perinatal Depressive Relapse/Recurrence...
Postpartum DepressionPregnancy1 morePregnant women with histories of depression are at high risk of depressive relapse/recurrence during the perinatal period, and options for relapse/recurrence prevention are limited. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) has strong evidence among general populations but has not been studied among at risk pregnant women. This study is the second phase of a multi-phase project adapting MBCT for perinatal women (MBCT-PD).
Effect of Tramadol in Prevention of Postpartum Depression
Caesarean SectionThe incidence of postpartum depression in Europe and the United States is about 10%, while in China the incidence rate of 15.7-39.8%. Postpartum depression is one of the most common diseases of perinatal distress, but the current research of high-quality prevention and treatment of postpartum depression is still very lack. The study suggests that the risk of postpartum depression in cesarean delivery is significantly higher than that in vaginal delivery. Therefore, postpartum depression in cesarean delivery may require more attention and treatment.Tramadol is a non-opioid central analgesic that relieves common to severe pain, and tramadol has an inhibitory effect on norepinephrine and serotonin systems and has the potential to reduce depression and anxiety. Therefore, for the analgesic demand and antidepressant demand for maternal who undergoing cesarean section, tramadol may be an optimized and effective analgesic for the prevention and treatment of postpartum depression.
Mindfulness Based Childbirth and Parenting Education - RCT of Effects on Parent and Child Health...
Parent-Child RelationsDepression5 moreThe purpose of this study is to explore if an intervention using Mindfulness Based Childbirth and Parenting education (MBCP) targeted to stressed pregnant women is effective in: 1) reducing prenatal stress, 2) preventing perinatal maternal mental ill-health, 3) preparing the mother for labor and 4) promoting positive infant-caregiver attachment.
Development, Feasibility and Acceptability of Fathers and Babies (FAB): A Pilot Study
Perinatal DepressionPostpartum Depression1 moreDuring this project the investigators will develop and pilot test a companion intervention for fathers (Fathers and Babies-FAB), to supplement the Mothers and Babies Course (MB) that provides stress and mood management tools for home visiting clients. Focus groups with prior study participants, their male partners, and home visiting staff will be used to develop the FAB curriculum and protocol. FAB text messages aim to improve the mental health of the male partner and help him support his partner's mental health. Feasibility, acceptability, and outcome measures will be supplemented with assessments of fathers' mental health and partners' relationships. Participant assessments will be conducted at baseline, 3 and 6 months in this uncontrolled pilot study. The public health significance and innovation of this project is substantial. If the investigators are able to integrate MB-TXT and MB-DAD into home visiting programs and generate improved mental health outcomes for home visiting clients and their partners, the investigators will be prepared to replicate this intervention across home visiting programs nationally at a time when home visitation as a service delivery model for families with infants and young children is rapidly proliferating through federal funding.
