The high prevalence of postpartum depression makes it necessary for midwives and nurses to implement prenatal interventions for expectant mothers. The current study aims to investigate and highlight the importance of the digital training of nurses in order to help women mitigate the symptoms of postpartum depression and protect infants. To approach this, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to address the study’s main objective. Articles were retrieved from the Scopus database for the timeframe 2000–2023. Data analysis was conducted using the statistical programming language R (version R-4.4.) and the bibliometric software VOSviewer (version 1.6.20) and Biblioshiny (version 4.1.4), focused on year, journal, and country. For this investigation, we selected a total of 31 MeSH keywords and sub-headings that exhibited significant frequencies. We consistently used six significant clusters of MeSH keywords. We obtained a total of 585 articles from the Scopus database that were major contributors to the field of PPD, as evidenced by their extensive publication of research articles and their influential role in the domain. The studies included a thorough analysis of depression research, the use of scales for diagnosing and screening PPD, psychological studies related to PPD, and the exploration of causes, mechanisms, outcomes, and genetic factors. Our study’s results demonstrate a steady and significant increase in the availability of information on PPD. Importantly, the novelty of the current study lies in highlighting the need for a transition in the ways in which nurses and midwives are trained to mitigate postpartum disease by integrating emerging technologies into their practices. The knowledge provided here has the potential to serve as a foundation for future advancements in obstetric psychology, both presently and in the future.

Peripartum depression (PPD) is a prevalent and debilitating disorder that adversely affects the development of mothers and infants. Recently, there has been a plea for increased mental health screening during the peripartum period; however, currently, there is no accurate screening tool to identify women at risk of PPD. In addition, some women do not respond to current treatment schemes and develop treatment-resistant depression. The current perspective aims to propose a unified understanding of the biological underpinnings of PPD (UmPPD) that considers the heterogeneity in the onset, symptoms cluster, and severity of PPD. Such a model could promote basic and applied research on PPD and suggest new treatment avenues. The central hub of the model is the kynurenine pathway (KP) and the KP-serotonin ratio. The forces and specific processes at play that cause an imbalance within the KP and between KP and serotonin are inflammation, stress, reproductive hormones (especially estradiol and progesterone), and oxytocin. UmPPD predicts that the most severe PPD would comprise prolonged inflammation, ongoing or multiple stressors, excessive estrogen, progesterone resistance, and avoidance of breastfeeding, skin-to-skin contact, and social proximity. These factors would be associated with a higher likelihood of developing PPD, early onset, and more significant symptom severity. In addition, subtypes of PPD would consist of different compositions and expressions of these components, with one central common factor. UmPPD could aid in directing future research and possibly detecting critical processes that could help discover, develop, and utilize novel treatments for PPD.
