Up to 20% of women experience maternal mental health problems, but most jurisdictions lack policy for prevention, identification and treatment. To address this gap, a multi-stakeholder working group formed in Saskatchewan, Canada. As a result, the MotherFirst project emerged to create policies to improve the mental healthcare of mothers and to increase public and professional awareness. This paper critically analyzes the project using a policy cycle framework that can inform similar policy development. It explores the strengths of diverse partnerships, relationship building and public awareness campaigns, and the challenges that were encountered in the decision-making and implementation stages.
高达20%的女性会出现孕产妇心理健康问题,但大多数司法管辖区缺乏预防、识别和治疗方面的政策。为了填补这一空白,加拿大萨斯喀彻温省成立了一个多利益相关方工作组。因此,“母亲优先”项目应运而生,旨在制定政策以改善母亲的心理健康护理,并提高公众和专业人士的认识。本文使用一个政策周期框架对该项目进行批判性分析,这可为类似的政策制定提供参考。它探讨了不同伙伴关系、关系建立和公众意识宣传活动的优势,以及在决策和实施阶段遇到的挑战。
