The postpartum period is accompanied by health risks that impact many women. Postpartum depression (PPD) is a mental health problem that has been neglected in maternal healthcare services.
The purpose of this study was to explore nurses' perceptions towards health services' contribution to lowering the incidence of PPD.
An interpretive phenomenological approach was adopted in a tertiary hospital in Saudi Arabia. A convenience sample of 10 postpartum nurses was interviewed face-to-face. The analysis followed Colaizzi's data analysis method.
Seven main themes emerged on how to improve maternal health services to contribute to reducing the incidence of PPD among women: (1) maternal mental health, (2) follow-up of mental health status, (3) screening mental health status, (4) enhancing health education, (5) reducing stigma toward mental health, (6) updating resources, and (7) empowering nurses.
The integration of mental health services into maternal services that are provided to women needs to be considered in the context of Saudi Arabia. This integration will result in high-quality holistic maternal care.
产后时期伴随着影响众多女性的健康风险。产后抑郁症(PPD)是一种在孕产妇保健服务中被忽视的心理健康问题。
本研究的目的是探讨护士对健康服务在降低产后抑郁症发病率方面所做贡献的看法。
在沙特阿拉伯的一家三级医院采用解释现象学方法。对10名产后护士进行了便利抽样面对面访谈。分析采用了科莱齐的数据分析方法。
就如何改善孕产妇保健服务以降低女性产后抑郁症发病率出现了七个主要主题:(1)孕产妇心理健康,(2)心理健康状况随访,(3)心理健康状况筛查,(4)加强健康教育,(5)减少对心理健康的污名化,(6)更新资源,以及(7)增强护士能力。
在沙特阿拉伯的背景下,需要考虑将心理健康服务纳入提供给女性的孕产妇服务中。这种整合将带来高质量的整体孕产妇护理。
