Abstract:

This thesis was focused on parent’s mental health during the perinatal period. Fear related to childbirth is common in mothers. Chapter one provides a meta-ethnographic synthesis of literature exploring mothers’ experiences of fear related to childbirth. Three meta-themes were identified which showed what it was like for women to experience fear related to childbirth, external factors than influenced their fear (e.g. the media) and internal factors (e.g. coping strategies). This study illustrated the complexity of mothers’ experiences and how fear related to childbirth can impact quality of li

Abstract:

Mental health problems in pregnancy and the postnatal period can have long-term negative effects on women and their children. A key barrier to helping women in this period is the low level of identification of mental health problems. Depression has commonly been screened for using the Whooley Questions or Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) but women may experience a broad range of symptoms of distress not captured by these measures. The research reported in this dissertation was designed to address several aims. The first strand aimed to explore women's experiences of postnatal mental

The review found fairly consistent evidence for internalising and externalising problems and mixed evidence for socio-emotional and cognitive difficulties and child temperament. More research is required regarding mental health in fathers during this period more generally as well as how preadolescent child outcomes may be affected. The second paper is an empirical

Prior research has identified risk factors that may contribute to the development of maternal stress reactions following childbirth. Specifically, situational factors (e.g., factors associated with childbirth), individual factors, and personality factors, have been explored in a multitude of prior studies.

Abstract:

Perinatal mental illness is a global health issue with detrimental outcomes for women and their families if left untreated. Unfortunately, many women do not get the treatment they need for many reasons, one often acknowledged reason is that the stigma some women experience inhibits disclosure of their needs to healthcare providers. This thesis looked at Internet resources for women with perinatal mental illness, in particular online forums. It examined how forums might affect stigma and thus disclosure behaviour.

Schizophrenia (SCZ) is believed to be a neurodevelopmental disorder resulting from genetic and environmental factors. Obstetric complications, particularly fetal hypoxia, seem to be a risk factor for SCZ.

Thus, utilizing a rat model of global anoxia (15 min and 21 min) during Cesarean-section birth (C-section), hippocampal proliferation was examined in the dentate gyrus and CAI region at postnatal day 21 and day 60.

This is worrisome, firstly, because mental health treatment is often readily available to the public and at no cost. Secondly, untreated perinatal depression not only holds dangerous consequences for the mother but also for the infant and the rest of the family. I

Inadequate public health resources coupled with a chronically overburdened health system leave a large proportion of South Africans unable to access mental health care.

The direct and indirect financial and personal costs associated with perinatal mental illness are substantial, while the high prevalence rates of perinatal CMDs make this an area in need of urgent attention

A transição para a maternidade, sobretudo para a primípara, é um período que exige da mulher grandes mudanças e adaptações a nível biopsicossocial, colocando à prova a sua capacidade para lhe fazer face, e com repercussões na relação mãe- bebé. Os profissionais de saúde podem contribuir para a vivência positiva desta transição, prestando uma atenção global à saúde (física e mental) da mulher, durante o período gravídico-puerperal. Este estudo de natureza quantitativa-correlacional e transversal, teve como objetivo verificar o efeito do acompanhamento prestado pelos profissionais de saúde, desd

Abstract:

<b>Introduction</b>: Maternal antenatal depression has been associated with an increased risk of offspring psychopathology and more recently with disturbed infant sleep; in particular, shorter sleep duration, more awakenings and sleep problems. The exact mechanisms through which risk may be transmitted remain unknown, as does the question of whether all infants are equally susceptible to the effects of antenatal depression. The primary objectives of this thesis were to examine: i) The role of two potential moderators on the association between antenatal depression and infant sleep: infant reac

Abstract:

Purpose: This study was initiated to verify whether a remarkably high rate of postpartum depression (PPD), previously found in immigrant Hispanic women receiving health care at a community clinic, would also be found in a community sample with a similar demographic. Data Sources: Sixty immigrant Hispanic women who had recently given birth were recruited from local community settings. The Beck Postpartum Depression Screening Scale-Spanish version (PPDS-S) and the General Acculturation Index (GAI) were used to screen for PPD symptoms and to collect demographic data. These data were then compared

Abstract:

This paper explores a Master of Social Work (MSW) student's experiences in engagement with structural social work during an advanced practicum with a perinatal mental health project in Northeastern Ontario. The goals of the advanced practicum were to: (a) improve reflexive practice, (b) improve understanding of structural social work, specific to social justice, and (c) improve understanding of the role of structural social workers within inter-organizational collaborations. Deconstruction of the engagement with each of the goals and the challenges in facilitation of the objectives are reviewe

Abstract:

Background: Antenatal Psychosocial Assessment (APA) has recently been introduced into routine antenatal care, but the ways in which maternity service providers assess and respond to maternal stress are subject of debate. There is a lack of consensus on the instrument(s) of choice and lack of evidence regarding appropriate interventions. Further, national guidelines have not kept apace with the conceptual shift from ‘postnatal depression’ to ‘perinatal anxiety and depression’. Adopting the Medical Research Council Complex Interventions Framework, the ARMS research aimed to inform the developmen

Abstract:

The purpose of this dissertation was to examine patterns of antenatal stressful life events (SLEs) experienced by women in the United States (U.S.) and their association with postpartum depression (PPD). It further explored the role of women's state-level socio-economic status (SES) on PPD; the racial/ethnic dispartites in SLE-PPD relationship; and the role of provider communication on perinatal depression. Data from 2009–11 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) and SES indicators published by the Institute of Women’s Policy Research (IWPR) were used. Latent class analysis (LCA)

Abstract:

Magister Artium - MA (Psychology)<br>Psychological distress during pregnancy has been a fairly neglected phenomenon and has only recently started emerging as an area of research interest. The existing body of scholarship on distress during pregnancy has largely been conducted from a positivist paradigm, emphasising the identification, incidences and risks. There is thus a dearth of qualitative inquiry into pregnant women's experiences and accounts of distress. In an attempt to address these gaps within the literature, my study explored psychological distress among a group of pregnant wom
