Families with infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are at a markedly increased risk of developing postpartum depression (PPD) because of the stressors they experience by having an infant in this intensive setting. Routine screening for PPD is not regularly performed for these families because many NICUs do not offer it and well-child visits are missed while the infant is hospitalized. Because the identification and treatment of PPD is often missed in these families, screening needs to be administered in the NICU to ensure improved outcomes.
有新生儿入住新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)的家庭,由于婴儿在这种强化环境中所经历的压力,他们患产后抑郁症(PPD)的风险显著增加。由于许多 NICU 不提供常规的 PPD 筛查,并且在婴儿住院期间错过了常规的儿童就诊,因此这些家庭通常不会进行 PPD 筛查。由于这些家庭中 PPD 的识别和治疗常常被忽视,因此需要在 NICU 中进行筛查,以确保改善结果。
