Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the effectiveness of psychosocial intervention apps in preventing postpartum depression through a review of various clinical trials and databases from 2020 to 2023.
- - After examining 2515 references, 16 studies were analyzed, revealing no significant differences in the onset of postpartum depression between app users and control groups, but notable improvements in depression scores in the app users.
- - The findings suggest that while the apps may not significantly reduce the risk of developing postpartum depression, they do lower depression severity as measured by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, indicating potential benefits in prevention efforts.
