在亚洲，针对夫妇的产前干预旨在预防产后抑郁症的有效性的证据很少。因此，我们在日本实施了一项产前育儿支持计划，并评估了参与计划的夫妇的特征和他们的心理健康指标的变化。在60名参与调查的母亲中，20%的母亲抑郁症状筛查呈阳性。根据爱丁堡产后抑郁量表的评估，父亲和母亲同理心的变化与母亲产后抑郁呈负相关。在为期4个月的健康儿童访视中，参与组的家庭问题更多，身体健康状况也比非参与组差。我们的结果表明，预防产后抑郁症的关键是父亲的参与和长期的支持。
Evidence is scarce on the effectiveness of couple-targeted antenatal interventions aimed at preventing postpartum depression in Asia. We therefore implemented an antenatal parenting support program in Japan, and assessed the characteristics of participating couples and changes in their mental health indicators. Among 60 participating mothers, 20% screened positive for maternal depression symptoms. Changes in both paternal and maternal empathy were negatively correlated with maternal postpartum depression as assessed by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. At the 4-month well-child visit, the participation group had more problems at home and were in poorer physical health than non-participation groups. Our results indicate that a key in preventing postpartum depression is paternal involvement and long-term support.
