Transition to Parenthood is a two-session (antenatal and postnatal) module for inclusion in a birth and parenting education course, designed to proactively support perinatal and infant mental health. In this pilot study, 299 mothers and 241 fathers/partners participated in the whole module, with 35 mothers completing pre- and post-program measures of depression, anxiety, stress, and parenting confidence. Statistically significant improvements were found on all four measures with high effect sizes. Participant ratings of learning and satisfaction were high and persisted over time. These results provide support for the usefulness of group-based birth and parenting education that focuses on perinatal and infant mental health, with mental health peer workers co-delivering the program.
“为人父母的转变”是一个包含两部分(产前和产后)的模块,可纳入生育与育儿教育课程,旨在积极支持围产期和婴儿心理健康。在这项试点研究中,299名母亲和241名父亲/伴侣参与了整个模块,其中35名母亲完成了项目前后的抑郁、焦虑、压力和育儿信心测量。在所有四项测量中均发现了具有高效应量的统计学显著改善。参与者对学习和满意度的评分很高且随时间持续。这些结果为以围产期和婴儿心理健康为重点、由心理健康同伴工作者共同开展的基于小组的生育与育儿教育的有用性提供了支持。
