“…The results of this study showed that the impact of the integrated program of cognitive-behavioral therapy based on Islamic spirituality teachings and cognitive flexibility on quality of life was significant in the experimental group, and the difference was significant between the two groups. According to former studies, labor has a great impact on mothers, and their quality of life is influenced by its medical, psychological, social and midwifery aspects (19). Women experience great physiological, psychological, and social changes in the postpartum period and require more attention in this period (6).…”

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the efficacy of combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy and resiliency training based on Islamic spirituality instructions and cognitive flexibility on postpartum depression, fear of labor pain, and quality of life. Methods: This was a semi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design and a control group. It was performed among 40 pregnant women who had visited Bandar Abbas health centers. The participants were placed in two groups of control and experimental. Data collection was carried out using quality of life: SF12, postpartum depression by Edinburg, and fear of labor pain (FPQ-111) in the three stages of before, after and two months after the intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and analysis of variance test. Results: We found that the effect of combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy and resiliency training based on Islamic spirituality instructions and cognitive flexibility on postpartum depression (P < 0.01), fear of labor pain (P < 0.01), and the quality of life (P < 0.01) was significant, and the difference between the two groups was significant (P < 0.01). Conclusions: Trainings based on Islamic instructions were effective on reducing postpartum traumatic symptoms.

“…Starting from the prenatal period a relation between depressive and anxious symptomatology has been observed in fathers (Fletcher et al, 2006;Wee et al, 2015;O'Brien et al, 2017;Chen et al, 2019). Anxiety disorder (GAD, panic attacks, PTSD) may be even more frequent than typical depressive symptoms in men (Wynter et al, 2013).…”

“…This may be due to the potential for intrauterine programming of child outcomes via maternal stress, and lower levels of reported stress and anxiety for men than women [20]; though adverse parental and child outcomes are associated with paternal stress [21,22]. The first 1000 days is recognised as a highly stressful transitional period for both men and women [23,24] due to changing roles, and responsibilities [8]. Though not experienced by all men and women during this period, parental stress can be associated with parental health and obstetric issues, [20], social support [25,26], perceived self-efficacy [27], sociodemographic factors [20], and stressful life events [26] including bereavement [28].…”

Antecedents may differ between men and women [2,20,23] and may vary at different time-points across the first 1000 days [29,30]. As such, focusing on the prenatal period only may limit our understanding of the complexity of parental stress.…”

Background: The period from conception to two years postpartum (the first 1000 days) represents a normative transitional period, which can be potentially stressful for some parents. Parental stress and anxiety adversely impacts psychological and physical health for parents and children. Aim: The aim of this review is to systematically examine effects of interventions for women and their partners to reduce or prevent stress and/or anxiety during the first 1000 days. Methods: MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsychINFO, and Maternity and Infant Care were searched from inception to March 2019. Randomised controlled trials examining intervention effects on parental stress and/or anxiety during first 1000 days were eligible for inclusion. Data were independently extracted by two reviewers and narratively synthesised. Findings: Fifteen interventions, reported in 16 studies, met inclusion criteria (n = 1911 participants). Overall, findings were inconsistent and the majority of trials demonstrated high risk of bias. Interventions were predominantly delivered to women during pregnancy and only two studies included fathers. There was some evidence that adapting interventions to the pre and postnatal periods provided benefits for stress and anxiety reduction, however there was limited evidence for individual intervention types or approaches. Conclusions: There is currently inconsistent evidence of what interventions are most effective for women during the first 1000 days and there is insufficient evidence for any interventions for male partners during this period. There is a clear need for rigorous development and examination of interventions developed specifically to reduce or prevent stress and/or anxiety across the first 1000 days.
