Item Online intervention to prevent postnatal depression and anxiety in Chilean new mothers: Protocol for a feasibility trial(2022) Pérez Ewert, J. Carola; Aldoney, Daniela; García, María I.; Olhaberry, Marcia; Fernández, Olga; Alamo, Nicolle; Franco, Pamela; Pérez, Francisca; Fisher, Jane; Rowe, Heather; Coo, SoledadSymptoms of postpartum depression and anxiety in new mothers are prevalent and negatively impact maternal emotional wellbeing and infant development. Barriers to accessing treatment prevent women from receiving mental health care, a situation that has worsened due to the COVID-19 pandemic. mHealth interventions hold the potential to support women during the transition to parenthood despite these barriers and to promote the use of preventive interventions. This study uses a mixed methods design to assess the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a psychoeducational, guided mHealth intervention to prevent postpartum mental health difficulties in women who receive care in primary health centers in Chile. The study will contribute to evidence-based research on the effectiveness of mHealth interventions for new mothers from an under-studied cultural background. The findings will also enable the development of a larger randomized controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of the intervention, which, if effective, could significantly contribute to the emotional wellbeing of women and their families.Item Psychosocial health of the adolescent mother in the relationship with her child and its development(2017) Alamo, Nicolle; Krause, Mariane; Pérez Ewert, J. Carola; Aracena, MarcelaThis study relates adolescent mothers' psychosocial health to the development of their child and to the mother-child relationship, in a sample of 99 mothers. The results show that 39.4% of mothers presented risk for mental health problems; 40.4% of children presented alterations in the language, and 7.1% in their socio-emotional development. We observed a direct association between the risk of developing mental health problems and the potential for abuse and neglect, and between psychosocial well-being and the quality of the relationship; also, we observed an inverse association between psychosocial well-being and potential abuse. It was confirmed that maternal mental health and the potential abuse predict the socioemotional development of the child, while the quality of the relationship predicts the development of language. These results may contribute to future generation of public policies.
