Abstract:<\/strong>

Objective<\/h3>\n

To co-design an innovative mHealth intervention for preventing mental health disorders after perinatal loss, guided by the preferences of parents and multidisciplinary healthcare professionals.<\/p>\n

Methods<\/h3>\n

Two focus groups were held with parents (n\u202f=\u202f9, \u22656 months post-loss) and healthcare professionals (n\u202f=\u202f12) within the [blinded for review] project. Using a Patient and Public Involvement approach, discussions took place in the context of the Spanish Public Health System. Data were analysed thematically using a deductive framework informed by predefined categories, while allowing for emerging themes. Reporting followed COREQ and GRIPP2 short-form guidelines.<\/p>\n

Results<\/h3>\n

Participants reported a lack of accessible information and emphasized the need for clear communication, professional guidance, peer support, and freely available resources. They recommended tailored, sensitive, and visually engaging materials, particularly for early gestational losses. Valued features included care reminders and personalised user profiles. Professionals highlighted the importance of their active involvement to ensure relevance and integration into clinical practice.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

This study demonstrates the value of incorporating parents and professional perspectives in designing an mHealth intervention for perinatal loss, highlighting key components such as communication, tailored content, and support, while calling for further research on effectiveness and scalability.<\/p>\n

Practice implications<\/h3>\n

Providing open-access content on perinatal loss within pregnancy programs and integrating a co-designed mHealth intervention into care pathways may enhance preparedness, reduce stigma, and improve continuity of support for parents, particularly after early or post-discharge losses as miscarriages, stillbirths and neonatal death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/details>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t

Abstract:<\/strong>

Introduction<\/h4>\n

The perinatal period is associated with an increased risk of new-onset depression and anxiety in both mothers and their partners. Despite the significant impact of perinatal mental disorders (PMD) on families and healthcare systems, access to mental health services remains limited due to structural barriers. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions offer a scalable and accessible strategy for universal prevention, but few have been integrated into routine maternal care and evaluated in real-world settings.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Protocol<\/h4>\n

This study presents the protocol for a two-arm, cluster-randomised, hybrid type 1 pilot trial designed to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of the e-Perinatal app, a personalised mHealth innovation for universal PMD prevention. Eight Primary Healthcare Centres in Andalusia, Spain, will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to the intervention or control arm. The intervention group will receive access to the e-Perinatal app along with specialised training in perinatal mental health for healthcare professionals involved in routine maternal care. The control group will receive routine maternal care along with monthly psychoeducational emails. A total of 96 pregnant or postpartum women (up to five months postpartum) and their partners will be recruited. Primary outcomes are feasibility and acceptability of the e-Perinatal app as a universal preventive intervention integrated within routine maternal care. Secondary outcomes include implementation measures (i.e., adoption, fidelity, and appropriateness) and preliminary effectiveness indicators (i.e., cumulative incidence of perinatal depression and anxiety, changes in symptoms severity, postnatal post-traumatic stress disorder, and subjective well-being). Additional outcomes include other implementation measures (e.g., participants experiences and reasons to dropout), family dynamics, infant development, app usability, and healthcare utilisation. Data will be analysed using mixed methods.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Discussion<\/h4>\n

This pilot trial will provide key information on the feasibility of integrating a personalised mHealth intervention into routine maternal care, thereby informing the design of a subsequent large-scale trial.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/details>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t

Abstract:<\/strong>

Background<\/h3>\n

Breastfeeding is the most recommended form of infant nutrition during the first months of life. Mother’s perception of childbirth as traumatic, or birth-related diagnosis of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or symptoms (PTSS), may negatively affect breastfeeding outcomes, but there is not enough evidence about its influence. The aim of this study was to examine and summarize the available literature on the impact of traumatic childbirth and\/or PTSD\/PTSS related to childbirth on breastfeeding outcomes.<\/p>\n

Methods<\/h3>\n

Following PRISMA guidelines (PROSPERO: CRD42023407019), a systematic review of prospective longitudinal and cohort studies was conducted, involving searches across PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science, and PsycARTICLES. The PICOS model guided inclusion criteria, and the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale (NOS) was used to assess study quality.<\/p>\n

Results<\/h3>\n

From the 1471 identified records, eight studies (involving 3091 participants) met our inclusion criteria and demonstrated an overall low risk of bias, according to NOS. Results consistently revealed a negative association between traumatic childbirth and\/or birth-related PTSS\/PTSD and breastfeeding outcomes, including initiation, duration, self-efficacy, and exclusive breastfeeding in the baby’s early months.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Discussion<\/h3>\n

A traumatic birth can have lasting effects on both maternal mental health and breastfeeding outcomes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Limitations<\/h3>\n

Potential omission of relevant studies despite searches across five databases and the absence of a calculated size effect, preventing the determination of the strength of the studied variables’ relationship. Predominant focus on European studies questions the generalizability of the results.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

Mothers suffering from traumatic childbirth and\/or childbirth-related PTSS or PTSD have an increased risk of poorer breastfeeding outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/details>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t

Abstract:<\/strong>

Introduction: <\/strong>The prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms in pregnant and postpartum women during the COVID-19 pandemic was assessed by several systematic reviews (SRs) and meta-analyses which provided contrasting and different results. We aimed to summarize the evidence relating to the global prevalence of anxiety and depression among pregnant and postpartum women during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Material and methods: <\/strong>An umbrella review of SRs and meta-analyses was performed. Searches were conducted in electronic databases up to April 2023. SRs and meta-analyses reporting the prevalence of perinatal anxiety and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic were selected for eligibility. Primary studies extracted from eligible meta-analyses were included in the quantitative synthesis. The research protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42020173125).<\/p>\n

Results: <\/strong>A total of 25 SRs (198 primary studies) and 12 meta-analyses (129 primary studies) were included in the qualitative and quantitative synthesis, respectively. Studies involved data from five continents and 45 countries. The pooled prevalence of antenatal and postpartum depression was 29% (n = 55; 95% CI: 25%-33%) and 26% (n = 54; 95% CI: 23%-30%), respectively. In the case of anxiety, the pooled antenatal and postnatal prevalence was 31% (n = 44; 95% CI: 26%-37%; n = 16; 95% CI: 24%-39%). Differences emerged between continents, with Africa having the highest prevalence of perinatal depression and Oceania and Europe having the highest prevalence of antenatal and postnatal anxiety. The prevalence also varied depending on the assessment tools, especially for antenatal anxiety. A medium-high quality of the studies was observed. One SR assessed strength-of-evidence, reporting very low strength.<\/p>\n

Conclusions: <\/strong>During the COVID-19 pandemic, depression and anxiety were common, affecting almost one in three perinatal women globally. A high heterogeneity and a risk of publication bias were found, partially due to the variety of assessment tools and cut-offs. The results may not be generalized to minorities. Studies on the prevalence of clinical diagnoses are needed. Based on our results it is not possible to firmly affirm that the COVID-19 pandemic was the main factor that directly increased perinatal depression and anxiety during the past few years. Future studies should study other factors’ impact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/details>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t

Abstract:<\/strong>

Background: The use of online questionnaires to assess common mental disorders such as perinatal anxiety has spread due to the proliferation of Internet-based psychological interventions and research. This study analyses the validity and reliability of the online version of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) in a sample of pregnant and postpartum Spanish women. Method: A total of 3082 pregnant (n = 1260) and postpartum (n = 1822) women were recruited via the Internet and underwent three follow-up evaluations during a six-month period. Results: A one-factor solution was assigned by Exploratory Factor Analysis and confirmed by Confirmatory Factor Analysis for both pregnant (CFI = 0.998; RMSEA = 0.035) and postpartum (CFI = 0.998; RMSEA = 0.038) women. The one-factor model showed strict invariance across groups. Validity was confirmed by assessing correlations between GAD-7, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, and the 10-item Posttraumatic Stress Disorder checklist at three time points. The reliability coefficient was .92 for the two groups. Conclusions: This study shows that the Spanish online GAD-7 version has good psychometric properties and can be used to assess anxiety symptoms during the perinatal period.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/details>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t

Abstract:<\/strong>

Little is known about the effectiveness of online preventive interventions for paternal perinatal depression (PPD). This systematic review (SR) and meta-analysis (MA) of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluated the effectiveness of online psychological interventions to prevent PPD in fathers and non-birthing partners. The PRISMA 2020 guidelines were followed. The search was conducted in eight electronic databases and other sources from inception to 12 May 2023. The pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) was computed using random-effect models. Seven RCTs were included in the SR and 6 were included in the MA, representing 1.042 fathers from five different countries. No trials focused on non-birthing partners were found. The pooled SMD was \u22120.258 [95 % confidence interval \u2212 0.513 to \u22120.004; p<\/em> < 0.047]. The heterogeneity was moderate (I2 = 51 %; 95%CI [0 % to 81 %]) and nonsignificant (p<\/em> = 0.070). However, sensitivity analyses showed that the effectiveness was stable only when the fixed effect model and the Egger’s g were used to estimate the pooled SMD.<\/p>\n

No publication bias was found. Only two RCTs had an overall low risk of bias assessed by using the Cochrane ROB 2.0 tool. The quality of evidence based on GRADE was very low. In conclusion, online psychological interventions may be effective for the prevention of PPD. More high-quality evidence is warranted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/details>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Abstract:<\/strong>

Research question: <\/strong>The perinatal period (PP) is a period of many changes that may be challenging for women. Consequently, women may experience psychological mental health problems such as anxiety. So far, cognitive behavioural and interpersonal therapy and psychoeducation have been shown to be effective in the treatment of maternal perinatal anxiety. However, treatments are insufficient given some barriers regarding access, detection and the rate of treatment offered. The burden (disease and economic) associated with maternal perinatal anxiety points to prevention as a necessary action for its reduction. However, available studies still fail to demonstrate the effectiveness of preventive interventions (PIs) on maternal perinatal anxiety. Digitization of these PIs could offer greater cost-effectiveness and scalability. In addition, having the input of stakeholders (women in PP and healthcare professionals) could allow for greater personalization and tailoring of PIs to women’s needs. Therefore, this systematic review (SR) focuses on compiling the available evidence on the effectiveness of online psychological and\/or psychoeducational interventions to prevent maternal perinatal anxiety including a stakeholder perspective.\u202f <\/p>\n

Methodology: <\/strong>Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) and GRIPP-2 statement were followed. The search was conducted in 13 databases (PubMed, OVID, Scopus, PsycInfo, Opengrey, Cochrane library, Web of Science, Australian New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry, Clinicaltrials.gov, Psychotherapy randomized controlled trials, National Institute for Mental Health Research at the Australian National University, Beacon 2.0 and CINAHL) from inception to 9 September 2023. Key terms such as \u2018pregnant woman\u2019, \u2018internet\u2019, \u2018anxiety\u2019 and \u2018randomized controlled trial\u2019 were used to develop the search string. The PICO(S) format was followed to determine the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Specifically, it was selected studies that included women in PP who had not received a diagnosis of anxiety or did not exceed the established cut-off point for anxiety (P), whose interventions were psychological and\/or psychoeducational in nature and online (I), whose comparator was not receiving the intervention, active control, usual care or waiting list (C), which assessed the prevention of the incidence or reduction of anxious symptomatology (O) and whose study design was randomized clinical trial (RCT) (S). Regarding data extraction, the most relevant ones were related to the target population (sample, pregnant or postpartum women, parity), the type of prevention (universal, selective or indicated), the intervention (timing, orientation) and the outcome (instruments, constructs assessed, primary or secondary, time assessment, effectiveness). The risk of bias of included studies was assessed using The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool version 2. A webinar was held with the stakeholders to show them the preliminary results of the study and the most relevant themes were compiled using the Taguette.org tool.\u202f <\/p>\n

Findings: <\/strong>A total of 12 RCTs were included in this SR. Overall, the results of this SR showed that 33.33% of the included studies on online psychological and\/or psychoeducational interventions for the prevention of maternal perinatal anxiety showed significant results in favor of the intervention compared to the control group. The total sample consisted of 1785 participants. Regarding the target population, seven RCTs focused only on pregnant women and five RCTs focused only on postpartum women. Moreover, 11 RCTs included both primiparous and multiparous women and one RCT included primiparous only. Regarding prevention, seven RCTs showed universal prevention, four RCT showed selective prevention and one RCT showed indicated prevention. Regarding the intervention, eight RCTs were conducted only during pregnancy and four RCT was conducted only during the postpartum period. The orientation followed was cognitive behavioural therapy in six RCTs, psychoeducation in five RCTs and mindfulness in two RCTs. Regarding the outcome, all RCTs used a self-report questionnaire to assess anxiety, the constructs assessed being general anxiety symptomatology in eight RCTs and generalised anxiety in four RCTs. Moreover, anxiety was assessed as secondary outcome in eight RCTs and as primary outcome in four RCTs. Follow-ups were between 25 gestational weeks and 40 postpartum weeks. In addition, it is imperative to note that nine RCTs had a high risk of bias, two RCTs were considered as some concerns and one RCT as low risk of bias. Regarding the stakeholder perspective, the themes that emerged concerned the influence of interpersonal (social relationships and PP education) and intrapersonal (loss history and parity) factors on maternal perinatal anxiety. The need to distinguish between the anxiety constructs assessed. The limitations of self-report questionnaires and the comorbidity between depression and anxiety for the assessment and development of interventions that may be effective.\u202f <\/p>\n

The present study highlights the need to generate more evidence on the effectiveness of online psychological and\/or psychoeducational interventions for the prevention of maternal perinatal anxiety. Some points to consider are the development of studies aimed at assessing the effectiveness of anxiety as a primary outcome as well as a greater inclusion of diagnostic interviews for evaluation. <\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/details>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t

Abstract:<\/strong>

This study presents the methodology used to perform a Meta-analytic Research Domain (MARD) of preventive interventions for perinatal depression. A huge number of systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized control trials (RCTs) focus on preventive interventions for perinatal depression. However, the results are inconclusive, making an urgent need to step up to higher levels of evidence synthesis. The \u2019Meta-Analytic Research Domain\u2019 (MARD) is a new methodology to aggregate RCT data of a whole field. A MARD is a living systematic review of a research domain that cannot be covered by one PICO. We use MARD design following the PRISMA guidelines. Searchers will be conducted in the following databases: Embase, PubMed, CINHAL and PsycINFO (via EBSCO), Scopus and OpenGrey. RCTs\u2019 studies involving adolescent and adult women who are in the perinatal period will be included. Any type of intervention whose goal is to prevent the incidence of perinatal depression or reduce perinatal depression symptoms will be considered. The updating process will be done regularly in order to detect new available studies. This MARD will show a living updated version of the studies that include interventions to prevent perinatal depression in women. It is expected that the inherent bias of meta-analysis and MARD studies may appear. The major disadvantage of MARDs is that they require considerable resources and research time to build and maintain. The MARD methodology will give a broad overview and identify new research lines in the prevention of perinatal depression. Furthermore, it will facilitate the development of preventive interventions focused on pregnant and postpartum women. This study presents the first and unique MARD focused on the effectiveness of preventive interventions for perinatal depression.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/details>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t

Abstract:<\/strong>

Paternal Perinatal Depression (PPD) is estimated to have an average prevalence of 8% to 13% in fathers during the perinatal period and has a negative impact on fathers\u2019 well-being, family functioning, and child development. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis (SR\/MA) was to evaluate the effectiveness of online preventive interventions in non-birthing partners or fathers without depression or other mental disorders. PRISMA-DTA 2020 guidelines were followed. The search for eligible articles was conducted in PubMed, MEDLINE, PubMed, CINAHL Complete, PsycINFO, Scopus and Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), clinicalTrials.gov, Australian New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry, Beacon 2.0 and Psychotherapy Randomized Controlled and Comparative Trials. Grey literature in Opengrey was explored and experts in the field were asked for trial references or published studies. Selected RCTs involved non-birthing partners during the perinatal period (up to 12 months after childbirth). The results were a decrease in postpartum depressive symptoms and\/or the incidence of PPD. Using random-effect models, the standardized mean difference (SMD) was computed. Sensitivity analyses were performed. A total of 6 RCTs were included in the SR-MA, conformed by 1752 participants, from five different countries. The pooled SMD was -0.258 [95% confidence interval (CI) -0.513 to -0.004; p < 0.001]. Heterogeneity was moderate (I2=51%). Only two RCTs had an overall low risk of bias. There were no available psychological online interventions delivered only for fathers or non-birthing partners, all were partner inclusive and their effect was not significant. Further RCTs with low risk of bias and specific fathers\u2019 interventions to prevent PPD are needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/details>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n\r\n

Abstract:<\/strong>

Introduction: <\/strong>Perinatal anxiety is among the most prevalent mental health disorders, with an estimated pooled prevalence of 20%. The social and economic impact of this condition has led to the implementation of various intervention measures. Psychological treatments have proven to be effective; however, barriers persist, particularly regarding low treatment uptake and underdiagnosis. Preventive psychological interventions have been proposed as a potential solution. Digitalization may enhance the cost-effectiveness of such preventive interventions by increasing their scalability and enabling greater personalization for women during this period.<\/p>\n

Objective: <\/strong>To test the effectiveness of digital psychological interventions for the prevention of perinatal anxiety in women with subthreshold symptoms.<\/p>\n

Conclusion: <\/strong>Digital psychological interventions may be an effective strategy for preventing perinatal anxiety in women with subthreshold symptoms. These findings offer valuable insights for clinicians and policy-makers in assessing the benefits of digital preventive approaches. However, given the limitations of the RCTs included in this study, additional high-quality evidence is needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/details>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t

Abstract:<\/strong>

Introduction:<\/strong> According to Self-Determination Theory, the satisfaction of basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) is associated with psychological well-being, whereas their frustration is linked to indicators of distress. During the perinatal period, these experiences may be particularly relevant. However, to date, there is no Spanish-adapted version of the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (BPNSFS) specifically for the perinatal population, which limits progress in this field of study.<\/p>\n

Objective:<\/strong> To culturally adapt the BPNSFS to the Spanish perinatal context and to preliminarily assess its factor structure, reliability, and external validity.<\/p>\n

Method:<\/strong> The study included 234 Spanish women in the perinatal period (79 pregnant and 155 postpartum), who completed an online questionnaire that included the adapted version of the BPNSFS. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted, reliability was estimated using McDonald\u2019s \u03c9 coefficient, and external validity was explored through correlations with measures of anxiety and depressive symptoms.<\/p>\n

Results:<\/strong> The CFA confirmed an adequate factorial structure, with two general factors (satisfaction and frustration) and six specific factors corresponding to each need (e.g., autonomy satisfaction). Reliability was good across all subscales, and the expected correlations were found, with satisfaction negatively and frustration positively associated with anxiety and depressive symptoms.<\/p>\n

Conclusions:<\/strong> The BPNSFS adapted to the Spanish perinatal context shows adequate preliminary evidence of validity and reliability, and it may be a useful tool to assess these constructs during the perinatal period.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/details>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t

Abstract:<\/strong>

Background:<\/strong> Perinatal mental health problems can be prevented with mHealth applications. However, there is an urgent need for evidence of the effectiveness of universal mHealth preventive interventions to implement these programs in routine maternal healthcare. The aim of this study, framed within the European e-Perinatal project (ERC Starting Grant: 101042139), is to refine the e-Perinatal app prototype through co-design with local stakeholders.<\/p>\n

Methods:<\/strong> This study used a mixed-methods design. Two stages of iterative consultation were planned, involving four in-person and online focus groups: 1) women during the perinatal period, and 2) healthcare professionals. The script and surveys were based on a deductive theoretical framework. After the prototype app presentation, participants completed a survey regarding the app\u2019s content and design, and during the focus group discussions, the survey questions were further explored. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis, employing the CORE-Q to report them rigorously. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Two researchers coded all data.<\/p>\n

Results:<\/strong> A total of 22 themes emerged, which were grouped into user-related themes (e.g., intrinsic motivation, previous experience with the public health system), program-related themes (e.g., psychoeducational content), user experience themes (e.g., privacy), and professional-related themes. The women\u2019s group identified more barriers and facilitators related to app usage, while the professional group emphasized aspects related to user experience.<\/p>\n

Conclusions:<\/strong> The e-Perinatal app was designed to align with the expectations of local stakeholders. It is necessary to determine the effectiveness of the e-Perinatal mHealth intervention and its implementation in routine maternal care.<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong>

Introduction:<\/strong> Perinatal mental health problems in women are the primary complication, being the leading cause of maternal suicide. This affects the functioning of mothers and their families. Therefore, urgent primary interventions are needed for prevention. However, the current scientific evidence is insufficient to implement primary prevention programs.<\/p>\n

Objective:<\/strong> The e-Perinatal study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a preventive intervention for maternal perinatal mental disorders (PMD) and support its implementation as a routine, standardized practice in healthcare services.<\/p>\n

Methodology:<\/strong> Integrating both classical and emerging methodological frameworks (Family Systems Theory, Self-Determination Theory, and Normalization Process Theory), as well as the perspective of citizen participation in research, the e-Perinatal study will: (a) Develop a personalized mobile health preventive intervention for mothers and their partners, with evidence-based psychological components and personalized health recommendations; (b) Test the effectiveness of this preventive intervention to reduce the incidence of maternal depression and anxiety disorders, alleviate depressive and anxious symptoms in partners, and promote baby health; (c) Apply a causal methodology to identify the underlying mechanisms of the intervention’s effectiveness; and (d) Understand the implementation process and identify factors that may either promote or inhibit it. This study will be conducted over five years in Primary Care settings of the Andalusian Health Service (SAS).<\/p>\n

Results:<\/strong> As the first of its kind, the resulting scientific evidence and the novel explanatory model will create a new research paradigm. It is expected that a practical guide for implementation research will be developed to improve routine standardized practice.<\/p>\n

Conclusions:<\/strong> The derived evidence will open a new research paradigm regarding the prevention of PMDs and the implementation of preventive programs in global healthcare services.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/details>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t

Abstract:<\/strong>

Perinatal mental disorders are common in women, and consequences are multifaceted. Physical activity (PA) promotes mental health during the perinatal period, but few women meet the PA recommendations due to physical symptoms, practical limitations, lack of social support and insufficient knowledge. Despite efforts, prevalence rates have not decreased in the last decades. Several studies underlie the need for personalized prevention integrated into existing maternal and child healthcare policies. In this project, a multicomponent (psychotherapy, PA, healthy habits) mHealth intervention for preventing perinatal mental disorders will be implemented as normalized routine practice in healthcare. The mHealth intervention is characterized by i) coordination with the Andalusian Healthcare System to synchronize the app with usual care visits; ii) weekly content suggestions considering the perinatal stage; iii) content recommendation system based on machine-learning; iv) repository with restricted access considering the perinatal stage; v) community features.<\/span><\/p>\n

The physical activity module has been designed to promote physical literacy and will be delivered considering the stage of the perinatal period. It comprises 40 educational contents in text or infographic format (22 during pregnancy and 18 during postpartum period) and 104 exercise sessions in video format. Exercise types include aerobics, strength, mobility, and mind-body. Each session lasts 20-35 minutes, structured as warm up, main part and cool down. Exercise intensity is expected to be at a rate of perceived exertion ranging from 3 to 5. All contents are in accordance with evidence-based recommendations for PA during pregnancy and postpartum and are approved by experts in PA during the perinatal period. To enhance adherence, the evidence-based quality of the contents is emphasized, exercise sessions are accessible, and involvement of important others is stimulated.<\/span><\/p>\n

This project will contribute to the field of mHealth interventions for the promotion of mental health in the perinatal period throughout promoting PA among other components.<\/span><\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong>

Background: <\/strong>The perinatal period might be stressful for fathers, causing increased vulnerability for perinatal mental disorders (PMD). mHealth interventions may prevent PMD, however, the evidence in fathers is scarce. This study, integrated into the e-Perinatal study (ERC starting grant: 101042139), aims to describe the co-design and usability testing processes of an mHealth intervention to prevent PMD in fathers.<\/span><\/p>\n

 Methods: <\/strong>Thus, a co-design process with end-users (E-U) and healthcare providers (HP) was undertaken, through a mix-method design, that comprised focus group scripts and questionnaires regarding the contents and design of the app. For this, a two-stage iterative consultation was done. Each stage had two focus groups, one with E-U, and another with HP. The qualitative data was analyzed using thematic analysis. The quantitative data was analyzed by simple descriptive statistics. Furthermore, adapted versions of the System Usability Questionnaire (SUS), the user version of the Mobile Application Rating Scale (uMARS), and a demographics questionnaire will be used to assess usability with eight fathers. Quantitative data from the usability testing will be examined by simple descriptive statistics and tests of differences.<\/span><\/p>\n

 Results: <\/strong>The most relevant themes from the two-stage iterative consultation process were grouped into four main categories: \u2018User related constructs\u2019, \u2018Program related constructs\u2019, \u2018User experience constructs\u2019, and \u2018Health care professionals\u2019 factors\u2019. The results indicated that fathers demand male-inclusive contents, regarding their wellbeing and role during the perinatal period. Also, they suggested that men need to be empowered during this period.<\/span><\/p>\n

 Conclusions: <\/strong>This qualitative study gives insights into fathers’ preferences regarding a user-centered mHealth intervention that aims to prevent PMD. The results enlarge the emerging scientific evidence and interest on how to enhance fathers\u2019 involvement during the perinatal period.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/details>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t

Abstract:<\/strong>

Title. Perinatal mental health of women in the LGBTI community: Experiences and insights on the design of the e-Perinatal app. Background. The perinatal mental health of women belonging to the LGBTI community has been underexplored in research. Additionally, to the best of our knowledge, preventive interventions for perinatal mental health problems have not usually considered the specificities of this population. The aim of this study was twofold: 1) to explore the specific experiences, demands, and needs of women self-identified as part of the LGBTI community during the perinatal period; 2) to re-define and co-design with them the prototype of e-Perinatal app, a mHealth intervention to prevent perinatal mental health problems in women. Methods. This study framed in the European project e-Perinatal (ERC Starting Grant: 101042139). Using a qualitative design, we collected data through focus group and semi structured interviews. Participants are women in the perinatal period self-identified as part of the LGBTI community (three birthing mothers and two non-birthing mothers) and health professionals working with this population. Focus groups and interviews focused on (1) the experiences and needs of these women during the perinatal period, and (2) their opinions on the prototype of the e-Perinatal app, including content of the app, usability, core characteristics, and design. Results. A total of 5 women self-identified as part of the LGBTI community (three birthing mothers and two non-birthing mothers) participated in the focus group. Preliminary analyses suggest some common as well as specific experiences and needs of LGBTI women during their perinatal stage. They also expressed concerns and insights related to the e-Perinatal app, to aspects such as wording and language of contents, the balance between sharing and privacy within the couple, or the inclusion of specific interventions aimed at their unique needs as LGBTI mothers. Conclusions. The specific needs of women in the perinatal period who identify as part of the LGBTI should be considered in the design of preventive interventions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/details>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t

Abstract:<\/strong>

Introduction:<\/strong> The perinatal period represents a phase of vulnerability for the mother and father. At this stage, a greater risk of suffering from depression and anxiety has been observed, making it necessary to explore factors associated with these problems, such as prenatal risk, the quality of the couple’s relationship, the shared parenting style and attachment. prenatal of the parents. However, the questionnaires developed to evaluate these constructs have been developed in Anglo-Saxon populations, with no Spanish versions existing. Objective:<\/strong> To translate and culturally adapt the Antenatal Risk Questionnaire-Revised (ANRQ-R), Parental Antenatal Attachment Scale (PAAS), Quality of Marriage Index (QMI), and Coparenting Relationship Scale (CRS) for use by mothers and Spanish parents in the perinatal period. Method:<\/strong> The reverse translation method was used following Beaton’s guidelines. The original questionnaires were translated into Spanish by two independent researchers. A third reviewer was responsible for the back translation. Finally, the original version and the version translated into English were compared. The translated and adapted versions into Spanish were reviewed by a committee of experts (n = 4), following the guidelines of Hambleton and Zeneski. Results:<\/strong> The translated and adapted versions into Spanish did not present any discrepancies during the back-translation process, except for items 2 (ANRQ-R), 4 (QMI) and 8 (CRS). After the evaluation process by the expert committee, 12 items (54%) of the ANRQ, 1 item (16.7%) of the QMI, 10 items (71.42%) of the CRS and 4 items (25%) of the PAAS received suggestions from improvement. Conclusions:<\/strong> The Spanish versions of the ANRQ-R, QMI, CRS and PAAS questionnaires were obtained for use in mothers and fathers in the perinatal period. In the future, the psychometric properties of the Spanish versions generated should be examined.<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong>

Background: <\/strong>Perinatal mental health problems can be prevented with mHealth applications. However, evidence of the effectiveness of universal mHealth preventive interventions is urgently needed to implement these programmes in routine maternal health care. The aim of this study, framed in the European project e-Perinatal (ERC Starting Grant: 101042139), is to refine the prototype of the e-Perinatal app through co-design with local stakeholders.  <\/p>\n

Methods: <\/strong>This study used a mixed-methods<\/span> design. Two stages of iterative consultation were planned, with two face-to-face focus groups: 1) women during the perinatal period; and 2) healthcare professionals. Participants were asked for feedback for both content (micro-intervention sessions and information provided) and design (what features they found most useful, preferences for phrasing, wording, etc.). After the presentation of the app prototype, all participants completed a survey with the questions, and afterward, these questions were explored during the focus group to obtain more in-depth information. Qualitative data was analysed through thematic analysis and quantitative data through descriptive analysis. All data was  <\/span>coded by two researchers. <\/p>\n

Results: <\/strong>A total of 22 themes emerged and were grouped into user-related themes (e.g. intrinsic motivation, previous experience with the health public system), programme-related themes (e.g., psychoeducational content, social connectedness, feedback), user-experience themes (e.g. content governance and privacy), and professional-related themes (e.g. healthcare professionals’ determinants to recommend the app). The women’s group identified more user-related barriers and facilitators associated with the use of the application, while the professional group highlighted more aspects related to the user’s experience. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Conclusions: <\/strong>e-Perinatal app was designed to be compatible with local stakeholders\u2019 expectations. The effectiveness of the e-Perinatal mHealth intervention and its implementation in maternal routine care needs to be determined.<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/details>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t

Abstract:<\/strong>

This study aims to co-design and develop, together with the involvement of the stakeholders, an innovative personalized mHealth app called e-Perinatal for psychological intervention to prevent perinatal mental health disorders (depression and anxiety) in maternal health care. This project is framed in a European funded project (ERC grant). The sector will be the usual maternal health care programme framed in the public primary health care centres in available in the public health care services of the Andalusian Region in Spain. We will employ an iterative mixed-methods design to co-design, produce, and test a prototype of the e-Perinatal app, according to stakeholders\u2019 preferences. We will follow these three phases: 1) A prototype of the e-Perinatal app (beta version) will be designed with a healthcare software development company. 2) The prototype will be refined via a co-design process with 144 local stakeholders. 3) Usability testing will be undertaken with 8 pregnant\/postpartum women and 8 fathers\/partners from phase 2. Framework analysis and quantitative data from usability testing by simple descriptive statistics and tests of differences will examine qualitative data. We will co-design with stakeholders the \u2018e-Perinatal app\u2019, an innovative and personalized mHealth psychological intervention for universal prevention of maternal PMD, to be provided by health professionals to women and their partners for use throughout the entire perinatal period. We will test the feasibility and effectiveness of the \u2018e-Perinatal app\u2019 in two real-world trials in routine maternal health care practice for the prevention of perinatal mental health disorders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/details>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t

Abstract:<\/strong>

In the current context, mobile-health interventions (mHealth), developed and examined for use without the need for direct human support, can be an affordable way to provide universal primary prevention of perinatal mental disorders worldwide. This study aims to co-design and develop an innovative, multicomponent, and personalized mHealth app called e-Perinatal to prevent perinatal mental health disorders (depression and anxiety) in maternal health care for being implemented in two real-world trials, as normal routine practice. This project is frame in a European funded project (e-Perinatal ERC Starting Grant). It will be employed an iterative mixed-methods design to co-design, produce, and test a prototype of the e-Perinatal app, according to stakeholders\u2019 preferences. We will follow these three phases: 1) A prototype of the e-Perinatal app (beta version) will be designed with a healthcare software development company. 2) The prototype will be refined via a co-design process, by focus groups, with 144 local stakeholders. 3) Usability testing will be undertaken with 8 pregnant\/postpartum women and 8 fathers\/partners from phase 2. Qualitative data will be examined by framework analysis and quantitative data from usability testing by simple descriptive statistics and tests of differences, both will be triangulated. The participants will be asked for feedback for both content (micro-intervention sessions and information provided) and design (what features they found most useful, preferences for phrasing, wording, graphics, colors, and type of badge tier system). The different profiles of stakeholders included by means of theoretical sampling will enhance the discourse variability and will represent different groups. The results derived from the co-design analyses, are expected to improve the feasibility of the prototype of the e-perinatal app, in the pilot randomized controlled trial.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/details>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t

Abstract:<\/strong>

The \u2018e-Perinatal\u2019 project aims to generate scientific evidence to establish the effectiveness of universal preventive interventions for perinatal mental disorders and their implementation as normalized routine practice in health care services. Patient and public involvement (PPI) in research is imperative for analysis of the implementation from a range of perspectives and to ensure the implementation is tailored appropriately to the local sociocultural context. The study aims to design, develop, and evaluate PPI in the e-Perinatal project. PPI will be involved in the conduct, reporting, and dissemination plans of this research, following the first international guide for reporting PPI in health and social care research (GRIPP-2 long form), in accordance with the INVOLVE principles. The \u2018toolkit\u2019 for PPI in clinical trials, developed by Bagley et al. (2016), will be used to monitor, train and support involvement in the different phases of the research project. The research meetings and PPI decisions will be documented. A mixed method, an online survey, and semi-structured interviews, will be used to assess the impact on people (i.e., research team, patients, and health care professionals). Also, it will be assessed the impact of PPI on research (i.e., changes made in the intervention program, and effectiveness of the intervention). It is expected that PPI will keep this research relevant for patients and carers since their perspectives are being considered in the conduct, reporting, and dissemination plans. Furthermore, the usage of the GRIPP-2 checklist, as well as the impact assessments (i.e., on people and on research), will give insights into how PPI can enhance the effectiveness and implementation process of evidence-based interventions. To the best of our knowledge, the e-Perinatal study will be the first to evaluate the PPI for the effectiveness and implementation of perinatal mental health prevention programs in health care services.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/details>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While the health benefits of physical activity are well-documented, in high-income countries, 1 in 3 adults do not meet the recommended levels. Consequently, policymakers have developed interventions to promote physical activity. The speaker comments the graft paper presented by Helena M Hern\u00e1ndez-Pizarro and Laia Maynou.

It is estimated that 1 in 5 women suffer from perinatal mental health disorders (PMD). The prevention of PMD could be a viable solution. Although effective preventive interventions exist, there is limited evidence focusing on universal prevention and their implementation within routine maternal health care services. The e-Perinatal project aims to generate scientific evidence to establish the effectiveness of universal preventive interventions for maternal PMD and to integrate these interventions as standard practice in health care services. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\tFor further information about this project, please visit the event website here<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/details>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t
