BackgroundPostnatal depression (PND) affects over 12% of mothers, with numbers rising during the COVID-19 pandemic. Singing groups can support mothers with PND; however, the online delivery of group singing has never been evaluated. SHAPER-PNDO, a single-arm clinical trial, evaluated the feasibility, clinical efficacy, and wellbeing outcomes of a six-week online version of Breathe Melodies for Mums (M4M) singing intervention developed for mothers with PND during COVID-19 lockdowns.MethodsThe primary objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a group online singing intervention for new mothers with postnatal depression. In total, 37 mothers were recruited via social media and primary care in the UK. The primary patient-centred clinical outcome was change in Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) score from baseline to end-of-intervention (week 6); and follow-up assessments were completed at weeks 3, 16, and 32. Additional measures collected included State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and Office for National Statistics Wellbeing Scale (ONS). Mothers were eligible if they scored at least 10 on the baseline EPDS.Results87% of the 37 recruited mothers completed the study, attending, on average, 5 of the 6 group singing sessions. With regard to patient-centred outcomes, at end-of-treatment, mothers experienced: significant reductions in depression (EPDS, 16.6±3.7 to 11.2±5.3, 95% CI [0.79,1.65]), anxiety (STAI-S, 48.4±27.1 to 41.7±26.8, 95% CI [4.96, 17.65]) and stress (PSS, 29.0±5.7 to 19.7±5.3, 95% CI [1.33, 7.07]); and, furthermore, significant improvements in life satisfaction (ONS, 50.5±23.0 to 72.8±11.7, 95% CI [- 39.86, -4.64]) and feelings of worthwhileness (ONS, 51.7±30.4 to 78.6±15.1, 95% CI [-52.79, -0.85]).ConclusionsM4M online was feasible and acceptable to mothers who partook in the program. Furthermore, M4M online supports the mental health and wellbeing of new mothers experiencing PND, especially when barriers to in-person treatment are present.FundingThe SHAPER-PNDO study was supported by a grant from the Wellcome Trust.
