“…Furthermore, multidisciplinary teams on MBUs are trained in the treatment of perinatal mental health problems, and in childcare and development ( 29 , 30 ). Additionally, patient-centered care is a vital component to this collaborative model and the treatment of postpartum mental health care ( 31 ).…”

In Canada, access to perinatal mental health services is disparate across districts, regions, provinces, and territories. Questions remain as to how gaps in service are being experienced by Canadian service providers and clinicians. This paper examines three key questions: 1) What are the experiences of care providers with respect to the screening, identifying, and managing perinatal mental health disorders? 2) What gaps in perinatal mental health care have been identified? and 3) What approaches have been taken by providers, communities, and regions in addressing the needs of their populations? To address these questions, 435 participants from across Canada were surveyed using an online survey constructed by the research members of the CPMHC. A qualitative analysis of the data revealed three key themes: groups marginalized by the current perinatal mental health system, gaps and supports identified by communities; and systemic and policy issues. From these three themes we have identified the key components of changes required in the national approach to perinatal mental health disorders. We identify key resources that could be utilized to create policy change and provide recommendations for change.

“…Few studies centre women's voices and active participation in mental health or resilience research in motherhood, 11 and, there are concerns that this absence may exacerbate gaps between the health services available and the health services that women actually need 12 . Additionally, the absence of public and patient voices as important stakeholders in health research raises concerns about producing research that meets the public's needs 15…”

“…[8][9][10] Despite increased interest in resilience in motherhood, women's perspectives on the varying definitions and approaches to measurements are distinctly absent from research. 4 Few studies centre on women's voices and active participation in mental health or resilience research in motherhood, 11 and, in general, little is known of the mental health research that women wish to see conducted. 12 This is concerning as research shows substantial disparities between the health services offered and the supports women wish existed to meet their needs.…”

Purpose Definitional perspectives and operational approaches to the concept of resilience vary within the literature; however, little is known of women's opinions on current resilience research, or the philosophical and methodological directions women believe such research should take. This research explored women's perspectives on resilience research in the perinatal period and early motherhood and sought their opinions on the ways in which they believe research should be advanced. Methods Following ethical approval, online interviews were conducted with 14 ethnically and socioeconomically diverse women who were mothers. Findings from a concept analysis on resilience in pregnancy and early motherhood, conducted by the authors, were shared with women before and during the interview. Interviews were organised in sections corresponding to the findings within the concept analysis' four philosophical (Epistemology, Linguistic, Logic, Pragmatic) principles and thematically analysed. Results Epistemology—Women endorsed a dynamic process definition, and viewed resilience as influenced by multilevel, multisystemic processes. Linguistic—Women viewed words such as ‘adaptation’ and ‘adjustment’ as being more active and empowering than the term ‘coping’ in relation to motherhood. Logic—Women were resistant to the predominant operational conceptualisation of resilience as illness absence. Pragmatic—Women were wary of resilience research being used to reduce mental health support for other mothers and families. Conclusions Women provided constructive criticisms on the current state of resilience literature. Women suggested actionable ways in which research may be developed to better align with the epistemological and ethical approaches women want to see in resilience and maternal mental health research. Patient or Public Contribution Women who are mothers and participants in health research were consulted on their views of trends in mental health and resilience research in motherhood.

“…From a customer-centered perspective, health-care quality cannot be exclusively determined by healthcare professionals; rather, it should be determined by the patient themselves [9,18,21,22]. The role of patients has shifted from passive receivers of health care to active participants in health-care systems, and this shift has empowered them within the health-related decision-making process [23].…”

Postpartum nursing care, which is critical to sustaining women’s health and wellness, has undergone a major shift in focus toward patient-centered and coordinated care. However, this shift has been hindered by the persistence of traditional practices in which patients are regarded as passive receivers of health care and by the presence of a fragmented health-care system with dynamic complexity. Implementing modern postpartum nursing care in which information technology (IT) enabled services are utilized can enable health-care organizations to bridge service gaps. The current study proposes an IT-enabled service design methodology (ISDM) that integrates systems theory and a patient-centered perspective to create a design roadmap to meet postpartum mothers’ needs. The usability and feasibility of the ISDM are evaluated through a case study of the E-DA BASSINET postpartum nursing center. The results indicate that implementation of the ISDM can effectively facilitate the transformation of postpartum nursing services into patient-centered services, which can substantially enhance satisfaction among postpartum mothers during their nursing care journey.
