This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of newborn massage training for primiparous pregnant women. To investigate the effects of newborn massage training on maternal attachment and the prevention of postpartum depression. The trial was conducted at a hospital in eastern Türkiye with 54 pregnant women, assigned to either the massage or control group (n = 27 each). Data were collected using the "Personal Information Form," "Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI)," and "Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)" at baseline. The massage group received two 45-min online sessions at 34 and 38 weeks, plus three 15-min postpartum reminders. Data were collected at weeks 6 and 10 postpartum using the "Maternal Attachment Inventory (MAI)" and "Edinburgh Postpartum Depression (EPDS)." No differences were found between the groups at baseline (p > 0.05). However, significant differences at weeks 6 and 10 in MAI and EPDS scores favored the massage group (p < 0.001 for MAI at week 6; p = 0.001 for MAI at week 10; p < 0.001 for EPDS at both weeks). Newborn massage enhances maternal attachment and helps prevent postpartum depression.
本研究旨在评估初产妇新生儿按摩培训的效果。调查新生儿按摩培训对母婴依恋及预防产后抑郁的影响。该试验在土耳其东部的一家医院对54名孕妇进行，分为按摩组和对照组（每组n = 27）。在基线时使用“个人信息表”、“产前依恋量表（PAI）”和“贝克抑郁量表（BDI）”收集数据。按摩组在孕34周和38周接受两次45分钟的在线课程，外加三次15分钟的产后提醒。在产后第6周和第10周使用“母婴依恋量表（MAI）”和“爱丁堡产后抑郁量表（EPDS）”收集数据。两组在基线时无差异（p > 0.05）。然而，在产后第6周和第10周，MAI和EPDS评分的显著差异有利于按摩组（第6周MAI，p < 0.001；第10周MAI，p = 0.001；两周的EPDS，p < 0.001）。新生儿按摩可增强母婴依恋并有助于预防产后抑郁。
