Depression or anxiety disorders may affect more than 25% of multiple birth parents during the perinatal period. Such parents often are uninformed, suffer in silence and fear, and are reticent to seek help. When depression, panic attacks, and obsessive-compulsive disorder are not recognized or are left untreated, parent health, parent-infants interaction, child development, and family stability may be seriously compromised. Nurses, as partners in care at the family and community levels, have a pivotal role to play in prevention-focused health, education, and social support programs; the identification of parents at risk; and the early recognition and support of women and families affected by these disorders.
在围产期，超过25%的多胞胎父母可能会受到抑郁症或焦虑症的影响。这些父母往往了解不足，默默承受痛苦和恐惧，并且不愿寻求帮助。当抑郁症、惊恐发作和强迫症未被识别或未得到治疗时，父母的健康、亲子互动、儿童发育以及家庭稳定可能会受到严重损害。护士作为家庭和社区层面护理的合作伙伴，在以预防为重点的健康、教育和社会支持项目中，在识别有风险的父母以及对受这些疾病影响的妇女和家庭进行早期识别和支持方面，发挥着关键作用。
