“…As shown in Figure 1 , out of the 511 female users who completed the initial form, 279 (54.6%) downloaded the mobile application and completed the assessment. Data from the initial assessment period indicated that 105 women (20.5%) obtained a low PHQ-9 score (0–4), another 167 participants (32.7%) obtained a score indicating depressive symptomatology ( 5–19 ), and 7 women (1.4%) were considered in the severe depression range ( 20–27 ) and who were referred to a mental health professional.…”

“…CBT is one of the most studied interventions for the treatment and prevention of PD ( 18 ). Mothers and Babies Course comes from the United States and has been adapted to the Spanish cultural context, recruiting pregnant women at high risk of PE in their first trimester in an obstetrics clinic in two urban hospitals in Spain ( 20 ). The application is interactive and allows users to answer questionnaires, do exercises, watch videos or listen to audios.…”

“…The total score is obtained by the direct sum of the responses for each of the items. The higher scores indicate high severity of depressive symptoms (range 0–27), with five different categories: (a) Minimal depression (scores 0–4); (b) Mild depression ( 5–9 ); (c) Moderate depression ( 10–14 ); (d) Moderately severe depression ( 15–19 ); and (e) Severe depression ( 20–27 ). This questionnaire has shown good psychometric properties in a Spanish-speaking population ( 22 ).…”

IntroductionPerinatal depression affects mothers, babies and society. Preventive interventions are needed, but face barriers to access. E-health interventions could be an effective and accessible option. To date, few studies have attempted to understand the use of mobile health (m-health) applications and why they are not more widely used. This study aims to understand the demographic characteristics of enrolled participants and examine dropout patterns through the Healthy Moms and Babies app.MethodsA longitudinal study was conducted with a sample of 511 women recruited between 2020 and 2022. Data were collected from the app, including sociodemographic information, the participant’s progress through the modules of the app, and the permissions granted to use the app.ResultsOut of the 511 women who completed the initial form to initiate participation, 279 downloaded the app and completed the evaluation. Results indicated that granting permission to be notified about the module’s availability is related to an increase in the use of the first modules.ConclusionThis study shows the importance of establishing follow-ups in the use of mobile apps during the perinatal period.

“…El uso de las herramientas disponibles para la detección de DPP-P sería de gran utilidad para el cribado de los padres tras el nacimiento de su bebé. Además, la aplicación de programas preventivos en padres, como el ya instaurado Proyecto Mamás y Bebés (Le et al, 2019), podrían prevenir la aparición de DPP-P. Un mayor apoyo social y la implicación paterna en el cuidado del recién nacido pueden reducir las cifras de DPP-P (Kim y Swain, 2007). Estudios futuros deberían incluir, además del uso de cuestionarios psicológicos, la evaluación de medidas biológicas (Prieto et al, 2019) para un mejor conocimiento del papel que juegan los circuitos cerebrales y de neuromodulación en el origen y curso de la DPP-P (Kim y Swain, 2007).…”

“…However, their focus was not on prevention studies (studies on treatment interventions are also included); all types of interventions were included (such as healthy lifestyles and smoking cessation) and were restricted to the postpartum period. Furthermore, to date, new studies ( Barrera et al, 2015 ; Chan et al, 2019 ; Haga et al, 2019 ; Le et al, 2020 ; Kelman et al, 2018 ; Fonseca et al, 2019 ) and study protocols ( Nishi et al, 2020 ; Jones et al, 2013 ; Witteveen et al, 2020 ; Sun et al, 2019 ; Pilkington et al, 2017 ) on PND prevention through Web-based and Mobile-based psychological interventions have recently been published. Therefore, a systematic review of the effectiveness of Web-based and Mobile-based psychological interventions to prevent depression during the perinatal period is needed.…”

Introduction Perinatal depression is one of the most common complications during pregnancy and one year following childbirth. A negative impact on the mental and physical health of women, their children, partners, or significant others has been associated with this disease. Web-based and Mobile-based psychological interventions can reduce the burden of the disease through prevention of new cases of depression. It is crucial to know the effectiveness of these interventions to implement them around the globe. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to assess the effectiveness of Web-based and Mobile-based psychological interventions to prevent depression during the perinatal period. Method and analysis A systematic review and meta-analysis will adhere to the PRISMA guidelines. Studies will be identified through MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, CENTRAL, Opengrey, Australian New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry, National Institute for Mental Health Research at the Australian National University, clinicaltrial.gov , beacon.anu.edu.au , and evidencebasedpsychotherapies.org from inception until 31 March 2021. We will also search the reference lists provided in relevant studies and reviews. The selection criteria will be as follows: 1) pregnant women or women who have given birth in the last 12 months and who were non-depressive at baseline; 2) Web-based and Mobile-Based psychological interventions; 3) comparators will be usual care, attention control, waiting list or no intervention; 4) outcomes will be the incidence of new cases of perinatal depression and/or the reduction of depressive symptoms as measured by validated instruments; and 5) the design of the studies will be randomized controlled trials. No restrictions regarding the year or language of publication will be considered. Pooled standardized mean differences and 95% confidence intervals will be calculated. The risk of bias of the studies will be assessed through the Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias 2.0 tool. Heterogeneity and publication bias will be estimated. Sensitivity and sub-group analyses will also be conducted. Random effects meta-regression will be performed. Ethics and dissemination As a systematic review, ethical approval is not required. The results from this study will be presented at international conferences and disseminated through peer-reviewed publications. Patients and the public will be involved in the dissemination plans. PROSPERO registration number 230,089 (submitted).
