“…Their results showed that infants at the age of six to nine weeks in the training condition displayed significantly better sleeping patterns and parents reported greater parental self-efficacy compared to the control condition [33]. However, our results are contrary to those of other researchers who did not find any effects of a preventive childbirth education program for child-bearing women on their maternal role competence [78].…”

Background: Psychosocial and psychological interventions are generally effective in reducing depressive symptomatology in the postpartum period. Our aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of a brief preventive group intervention for postpartum depression (PPD) in a naturalistic setting, and study the effect of this on social and psychological risk factors. Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled trial (n = 1,719) in south-eastern Hungary in 62 antepartum centers. Pregnant women (n = 710) underwent a 4-session preventive group intervention whereas a control group (n = 1,009) attended 4 sessions providing the same information given in usual care. Results: Our intervention appeared to significantly reduce the risk of PPD, as defined by Leverton Questionnaire total scores (OR = 0.69). It resulted in an absolute risk reduction of about 18% in those with antepartum depression and 0.5% in those with no depression at recruitment. A multiple logistic regression analysis revealed a much reduced risk in those with a perceived lack of partner support (OR = 0.4) in the treatment group. Unplanned pregnancy, an irreversible risk factor affecting every fifth woman, also seemed to have a reduced effect on PPD after our group intervention (OR = 0.81). Conclusions: A brief preventive antepartum group intervention focusing on psychoeducation, stress management, improving coping mechanisms, and the development of social support can be effective in reducing postpartum depressive symptomatology.

“…Psychosocial and educational interventions in perinatal period often result in a medium effect size on outcome variables [62], such as parenting self-efficacy [24]. Therefore, we can reasonably regard the PIP intervention to have a medium-size effect on the outcome variables.…”

“…The required sample size to detect a medium effect size of 0.3 (analysis of variance (ANOVA) F value) at a power of 80% and a significance level of 5% (two-sided) is 45 in each group [63]. In addition, when considering the dropout rate of 30% based on previous similar study [62] and a preliminary study [24], a minimum sample size of 118 (45 x 2 + 45 x 2 x 30% = 90 + 28 = 118) participants with 59 in each group is required for this study.…”
