“…The EPDS was initially made for postpartum depression but has been frequently used to evaluate prenatal depressive symptoms as well [22,23]. Internal consistency in our sample was high, with Cronbach’s alpha of 0.86 at mid-pregnancy, 0.87 at 6 months, and 0.86 at 12 months postpartum, similar to other studies [24,25].…”

Exposure to maternal depressive symptoms in the peri-pregnancy periods may be associated with poorer child development, but research is often limited to only maternal assessments of behavior and cognition. This study investigates the specific periods of prenatal and postnatal exposure to maternal depressive symptoms in association with child development using reports from teachers and mothers. This study is based on 1225 mother–child pairs from Project Viva, a prospective pre-birth cohort study. Mothers reported depressive symptoms on the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) in mid-pregnancy as well as at 6 months and 12 months postpartum. Teachers and mothers reported child executive functions using the Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) and behavior using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Children completed the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test (KBIT-2), the Wide Range Assessment of Visual Motor Abilities (WRAVMA), and the Visual Memory Index of the Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning (WRAML). We used multivariable linear regression models to examine associations of prenatal and postpartum depressive symptoms with outcomes. Many of the crude associations observed were attenuated after adjusting for demographic factors and maternal IQ, yet some remained significant. For example, high prenatal maternal depressive symptoms were associated with poorer scores on the BRIEF Behavior Regulation Index and some SDQ scales based on reports from teachers and mothers. High prenatal maternal depressive symptoms were associated with poorer behavioral development. Postpartum symptoms did not show strong associations with outcomes once we adjusted for the prenatal period.

“…Finally, the tools use depressive symptoms to stratify probable depression or risk of depression but do not represent a diagnosis of clinical depression. Overall, both the CES-D and EPDS are regarded as adequate screening tools for postpartum depression in obstetric literature, but we cannot assume that all of the positive depression screens in these studies resulted in clinical depression diagnoses [29]. That being said, as mentioned in the introduction, there are data suggesting that even depressive symptoms that do not meet clinical depression criteria have negative health effects on both the mother and baby, suggesting clinical significance in all positive perinatal depression screens [8].…”

The objective of this review was to determine if there is an association between maternal obesity and increased risk of perinatal depression. Original research articles were found by conducting an electronic database search of PubMed, ClinicalKey, PsycINFO, and Cochrane Library. Seven articles, published in the last five years, were reviewed. Of the seven articles, five demonstrated an association between some level of maternal obesity and increased risk of perinatal depressive symptoms. The two remaining articles did initially find an association, but it was no longer significant after adjusting for or mediating the analysis with covariates. There appears to be an association between peripartum depressive symptoms and some level of maternal obesity and its comorbidities. More research is needed to determine the mechanism and degree of the association and its clinical significance.

“…Following strategies used in earlier literature review studies, 12 – 14 we performed three rounds of systematic selection in the PubMed database: (a) keyword search in Titles/Abstracts and MeSH terms, (b) screening of titles and abstracts, and (c) screening of full-text articles. The searches were performed on 5 February 2018.…”

Objectives:To investigate existing knowledge in the literature about end-of-life decision making by family caregivers of persons with dementia, focusing on decision aids for caregivers of persons with advanced dementia, and to identify gaps in the literature that can guide future research.Methods:A literature review through systematic searches in PubMed, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, and PsycINFO was conducted in February 2018; publications with full text in English and published in the past 10 years were selected in multiple steps.Results:The final sample included five decision aids with predominantly Caucasian participants; three of them had control groups, and three used audiovisual technology in presenting the intervention materials. No other technology was used in any intervention. Existing interventions lacked tailoring of information to caregivers’ preferences for different types and amounts of information necessary to make decisions consistent with patients’ values.Conclusion:Research is needed in exploring the use of technology in decision aids that could provide tailored information to facilitate caregivers’ decision making. More diverse samples are needed.
