Abstract
Up to 15% of mothers experience postpartum depression (PPD) symptoms. Using a pre—post design, results from two 8-week psychoeducational group programs for mothers with moderate levels of PPD symptoms are presented. Findings show the low-cost program to be a promising secondary preventative intervention for an undertreated population.
Résumé
Jusqu’à 15 % des mères éprouvent des symptômes de dépression postpartum (DPP). En utilisant un modèle pré-post, les résultats de deux groupes psychoéducatifs observés sur une période de 8 semaines pour les mères ayant des symptômes modérés de DPP sont présentés. Les résultats montrent que le programme à faible coût est une intervention secondaire préventive prometteuse pour une population recevant peu de traitements.
