The high prevalence of postpartum depression makes it necessary for midwives and nurses to implement prenatal interventions for expectant mothers. The current study aims to investigate and highlight the importance of the digital training of nurses in order to help women mitigate the symptoms of postpartum depression and protect infants. To approach this, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to address the study's main objective. Articles were retrieved from the Scopus database for the timeframe 2000-2023. Data analysis was conducted using the statistical programming language R (version R-4.4.) and the bibliometric software VOSviewer (version 1.6.20) and Biblioshiny (version 4.1.4), focused on year, journal, and country. For this investigation, we selected a total of 31 MeSH keywords and sub-headings that exhibited significant frequencies. We consistently used six significant clusters of MeSH keywords. We obtained a total of 585 articles from the Scopus database that were major contributors to the field of PPD, as evidenced by their extensive publication of research articles and their influential role in the domain. The studies included a thorough analysis of depression research, the use of scales for diagnosing and screening PPD, psychological studies related to PPD, and the exploration of causes, mechanisms, outcomes, and genetic factors. Our study's results demonstrate a steady and significant increase in the availability of information on PPD. Importantly, the novelty of the current study lies in highlighting the need for a transition in the ways in which nurses and midwives are trained to mitigate postpartum disease by integrating emerging technologies into their practices. The knowledge provided here has the potential to serve as a foundation for future advancements in obstetric psychology, both presently and in the future.
产后抑郁症的高发病率使得助产士和护士有必要为准妈妈实施产前干预措施。本研究旨在调查并强调护士数字培训的重要性,以帮助女性减轻产后抑郁症症状并保护婴儿。为实现这一目标,我们进行了文献计量分析以达成该研究的主要目的。从Scopus数据库中检索了2000年至2023年期间的文章。使用统计编程语言R(版本R - 4.4)以及文献计量软件VOSviewer(版本1.6.20)和Biblioshiny(版本4.1.4)进行数据分析,重点关注年份、期刊和国家。对于此次调查,我们总共选择了31个出现频率显著的医学主题词(MeSH)关键词和副标题。我们始终使用六个重要的MeSH关键词聚类。我们从Scopus数据库中总共获得了585篇文章,这些文章是产后抑郁症领域的主要贡献者,其大量发表的研究文章以及在该领域的影响力证明了这一点。这些研究包括对抑郁症研究的全面分析、用于诊断和筛查产后抑郁症的量表的使用、与产后抑郁症相关的心理学研究,以及对病因、机制、结果和遗传因素的探索。我们研究的结果表明,关于产后抑郁症的信息供应量稳步且显著增加。重要的是,本研究的新颖之处在于强调了有必要转变护士和助产士的培训方式,通过将新兴技术融入实践来减轻产后疾病。这里提供的知识有可能为当前及未来产科心理学的未来发展奠定基础。
