Research indicates that exercise is an efficacious intervention for depression among adults; however, little is known regarding its efficacy for preventing postpartum depression. The Healthy Mom study was a randomized controlled trial examining the efficacy of an exercise intervention for the prevention of postpartum depression. Specifically, postpartum women with a history of depression or a maternal family history of depression (n=130) were randomly assigned to a telephone-based exercise intervention or a wellness/support contact control condition each lasting six months. The exercise intervention was designed to motivate postpartum women to exercise based on Social Cognitive Theory and the Transtheoretical Model. The primary dependent variable was depression based on the Structured Clinical Diagnostic Interview (SCID). Secondary dependent variables included scores on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, the PHQ-9, and the Perceived Stress Scale. The purpose of this paper is to describe the study design, methodology, and baseline data for this trial. Upon completion of the trial, the results will yield important information about the efficacy of exercise in preventing postpartum depression.
研究表明，运动对于成年人的抑郁症是一种有效的干预手段；然而，对于其预防产后抑郁症的功效知之甚少。健康妈妈研究是一项随机对照试验，旨在检验运动干预预防产后抑郁症的功效。具体来说，有抑郁症病史或家族中有抑郁症病史的产后妇女（n=130）被随机分配到基于电话的运动干预组或健康/支持联系对照组，每组持续六个月。运动干预旨在根据社会认知理论和跨理论模型来激励产后妇女进行运动。主要的因变量是基于结构临床诊断访谈（SCID）的抑郁。次要的因变量包括爱丁堡产后抑郁量表、PHQ-9 和感知压力量表的得分。本文的目的是描述该试验的研究设计、方法和基线数据。试验完成后，结果将提供关于运动预防产后抑郁症的功效的重要信息。
