Mental health issues and parenting difficulties in the perinatal period are common, and have significant negative impacts on individuals, families, and broader society. Community-based peer support programs might be an effective adjunct to standard mental health interventions in perinatal mental health issues, specifically where low-cost interventions are required, or access to professional care is limited.
A systematic review will be undertaken. Searches will be conducted on four electronic databases (Pubmed, Embase, Cinahl, and PsycINFO), using terms related to perinatal mental health and peer support. Literature will be screened by title and abstract and then by full text. Selected studies will be evaluated using the Quality Assessment with Diverse Studies (QuADS) tool. Data relevant to community-based perinatal peer support intervention characteristics and outcomes will be extracted, and synthesised narratively.
This review will contribute to the existing evidence about perinatal mental health peer support, by synthesising information about community-based interventions specifically. The findings will be used to inform the design, implementation, and evaluation of a community-based perinatal mental health peer support program in urban and rural/remote hospital and health services in Australia.

围产期的心理健康问题和育儿困难很常见,对个人、家庭和更广泛的社会都有重大的负面影响。基于社区的同伴支持计划可能是围产期心理健康问题标准心理健康干预的有效辅助手段,特别是在需要低成本干预或专业护理有限的情况下。
将进行系统评价。将在四个电子数据库(Pubmed、Embase、Cinahl 和 PsycINFO)上进行搜索,使用与围产期心理健康和同伴支持相关的术语。文献将通过标题和摘要进行筛选,然后通过全文进行筛选。选定的研究将使用多样性研究质量评估(QuADS)工具进行评估。将提取与基于社区的围产期同伴支持干预特征和结果相关的数据,并进行叙述性综合。
本综述将通过综合特定于基于社区的干预措施的信息,为围产期心理健康同伴支持的现有证据做出贡献。研究结果将用于为澳大利亚城市和农村/偏远地区医院和卫生服务中的基于社区的围产期心理健康同伴支持计划的设计、实施和评估提供信息。
