Active clinical trials for "Depression, Postpartum"

Postpartum depression (PPD) is undertreated and the consequences of this are substantial for women and children. Studies show that infant cry/fuss and sleep behavior are associated with PPD, and that parenting interventions can change infant behavior, yet these findings have never been applied to PPD. In this study, the investigators are teaching parenting skills to increase infant nocturnal sleep and reduce fuss/cry behavior to women likely to develop PPD to see if the investigators can prevent the onset of this disorder.

The objective of the study was to assess the prevalence, timing, and co-occurrence of positive screens for maternal postpartum depression (PPD) and intimate partner violence (IPV) for women bringing their young infants for pediatric primary care and examine relationships between PPD, IPV and children's healthcare utilization from birth to 2 years.

This is a prospective, single-center, randomized control study to determine if video education at the time of postpartum discharge improves patient knowledge on the warning signs for the top three causes of severe maternal morbidity (infection, hemorrhage, and blood pressure disorders) in the first seven days following delivery. Participants will be randomized to written discharge education + video education (intervention) vs standard discharge education (control). They will complete a baseline questionnaire and a post-discharge education questionnaire during their postpartum stay to assess for knowledge improvement. The investigators hypothesize that video education will improve patient's knowledge of severe maternal morbidity warning signs.

The overarching goal of this study is to adapt a cognitive behavioral prevention of recurrence treatment (CBT-PR) for women with a history of recurrent major depressive disorder who decide to discontinue their maintenance anti-depressant (AD) treatment for pregnancy.

We will enroll 40 mother-infant dyads in a randomized trial exploring the effect of distribution of pacifiers during the birth hospitalization to mothers at high risk for postpartum depression on pacifier use, infant feeding, and maternal stress.

This is randomized control trial of a brief intervention called Bellevue ROSE (Reach Out Stay Strong Essentials). Bellevue ROSE is a manualized and highly structured interpersonal intervention that provides women with psycho-education about maternal depression and strategies for strengthening social support and connectedness. Investigators use motivational interviewing strategies to improve treatment compliance and resource acquisition

In this study the investigators would like to evaluate how prelabor analgesic plan and actual labor analgesia effects the labor satisfaction, breastfeeding success, and whether or not it reduces postpartum depression. Although postpartum depression has been researched and reviewed, there is little information on how satisfaction during labor affects postpartum outcomes. The relationship between epidural analgesia is also complex, and there has yet to be found a valid correlation between the two parameters. In addition although an attempt has been made to evaluate relationship between breastfeeding and epidural analgesia, results are unclear and further research is needed.

The objective of this cross-sectional study is to assess the prevalence of depression at 2 months, 6 months, and 1 year postpartum in women who had an immediate postpartum hemorrhage (immediate PPH defined as blood loss ≥ 500 mL within 24 hours of delivery). The potential serious consequences of PPH may lead to a greater number of psychological disorders in these women than in women without PPH.

This trail aims to evaluate the effects of a cooperative education program based on precede-proceed model during pregnancy on preventing postpartum depression in southern Razavi Khorasan Province.

We will aim to study the impact of introducing a smartphone-based daily feedback and communication platform between postpartum women delivering at our institute and a multidisciplinary breastfeeding-support team (obstetricians, neonatologists, midwives, lactation consultants, nurses, and psychologist) on breastfeeding rates.
