The impact of pre- and post-natal psycho-educational intervention on the construction of parenthood

Abstract

A pilot study was conducted to assess the merits and feasibility of a standardized postnatal psycho-educational interview on mothers' mental wellbeing, self-efficacy, and mother-child and couple relationships. A comparison of prenatal psycho-educational interview (n = 23) vs. pre- and post-natal psycho-educational interviews (n = 26) was carried out. Parental self-efficacy and the mother-child relationship were significantly improved for the group who received a post-natal interview at 2 and 3 months postpartum in addition to a prenatal interview. Pre- and post-natal interviews improve the construction of parenthood.

Effectiveness of psychoeducation and emotion recognition training in women with postpartum depression: a preliminary study

Facial expression recognition training which is done less directly than psychoeducation could have generated less positive outcomes due to the interaction of this style of intervention with the symptoms of depression.…”

Midwives supporting the development of the mother-infant relationship from pregnancy to six weeks after birth: a scoping review.

“…There were a variety of countries represented in the studies, with three undertaken in Turkey (26)(27)(28) and Norway (31)(32)(33), two studies in Italy (29,30). One study in Japan (34), Sweden (35), Korea (36), Brazil (37), United States of America (38), Switzerland (39), Colombia (40), and Taiwan (41). The variety of study designs used are outlined in table 3.…”

“…There were four studies (28,(39)(40)(41) that focused on parent education that explored general pre or postnatal topics or psychoeducation, as well as three studies (31,33,38) that provided targeted education focusing on enhancing the mother-infant relationship. Vargas-Porras and colleagues (40) explored the e cacy of a multimodal nursing intervention for rst-time mothers to support the process of becoming a mother.…”

Intervenção para mães com depressão pós-parto: protocolos de psicoeducação e treino para reconhecimento de emoção

“…Ao entender melhor o seu bebê, criou-se a possibilidade de desenvolver uma relação positiva entre a díade (McManus & Nugent, 2014). Através de uma intervenção de psicoeducação no pós-parto, foi encontrado um aumento na qualidade da relação mãe-bebê e no sentido de autoeficácia materna (Razurel et al, 2017). É importante ressaltar que a informação pode servir como forma de estimular as práticas parentais adequadas, na medida em que são socialmente aprendidas (Campos & Rodrigues, 2015) e que as mães, principalmente de primeira viagem, não se sentem suficientemente informadas.…”
