Effects of a midwife-led counselling intervention to improve postpartum womens mental health

预防围产期心理健康问题是国家的优先事项。除了抑郁情绪，一些母亲还会经历一系列焦虑症。许多妇女报告说，她们的问题没有得到讨论或诊断，很少有人得到帮助。我们将对产后痛苦妇女的早期咨询干预进行试验和定性评估。这项干预由训练有素的助产士提供，旨在减少焦虑、抑郁和促进积极的育儿方式。

Prevention of perinatal mental health difficulties is a national priority. In addition to depressed mood, some mothers experience a range of anxiety disorders. Many women report that problems are not discussed or diagnosed and few receive help. We will conduct a trial and qualitative evaluation of an early counselling intervention for distressed postpartum women. The intervention, offered by trained midwives, aims to reduce anxiety, depression and promote positive parenting.
