Impact of strength-based video-feedback intervention on maternal sensitivity in mother-infant dyads with maternal depressive symptoms.

Strength-based video-feedback (SB-VF) is an attached base and culturally sensitive video-feedback intervention which promotes maternal well-being and sensitivity through using mentalization technics. The goals of this study were to investigate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of internet-delivered SB-VF to mother with post-partum depression during COVID-19 pandemic. A pilot randomized, two arm controlled trial was conducted (trial registration NCT04748731) with depressive symptoms' women (n = 172) from Chilean public primary health centers, 79 were randomized to either experimental group (on-line SB-VF plus treatment as usual [TAU], n = 41) or control group (TAU, n = 38).

Developing a Guided Web App for Postpartum Depression Symptoms: User-Centered Design Approach.

Background: Psychological internet-based interventions have shown promise in preventing and treating perinatal depression, but their effectiveness can be hindered by low user engagement. This challenge often arises from a misalignment between technology attributes, user needs, and context. A user-centered, iterative approach involving all stakeholders is recommended.

Guided web app intervention for reducing symptoms of depression in postpartum women: Results of a feasibility randomized controlled trial.

Background: Chile faces a significant postpartum depression prevalence and treatment gap, necessitating accessible interventions. While cognitive-behavioral internet-based interventions have proven effective in high-income countries, this field is underdeveloped in Chile. Based on the country's widespread use of digital technology, a guided 8-week cognitive-behavioral web app intervention named "" was developed.

[Validation of a method for detecting hospitalizations for falls related to adverse drug reactions in geriatric departments].

Fall is one of the five main causes of drug-related hospital admissions (DRA) in France. A standardized chart review method, to identify DRA adapted to elderly patients, has recently been developed by Thevelin et al. Our first aim was to assess the reliability of this method for detecting DRA for falls in elderly subjects.

App-based intervention for reducing depressive symptoms in postpartum women: Protocol for a feasibility randomized controlled trial.

Background: Chile has a high prevalence of postpartum depression and a significant treatment gap. Some barriers to postpartum depression care uncover the need for more easily accessible and lower-cost interventions. Chile's high utilization of digital technologies across all social strata and the increased use of pregnancy and parenting apps open the possibility of delivering interventions through mobile devices.

Parental personality traits and emotion regulation: Its relationship with infants' socioemotional development during the perinatal period.

Socioemotional development is central throughout life, and it unfolds in an interpersonal context in which each significant caregiver has an impact, particularly during infancy. However, only a relatively small number of studies have investigated associations between mothers and fathers' personality and emotional characteristics with their infant's socioemotional development during the perinatal period. Therefore, the present article examines the relationship between maternal and paternal personality traits and emotion regulation difficulties during the prenatal period with offspring's socioemotional development.

A Chilean survey of perinatal women and health care professionals' views towards perinatal apps.

Background: Women around the globe are increasingly engaging with pregnancy and parenting apps, almost becoming a routine part of the maternity experience. However, little is known about what perinatal women and health care professionals feel about those apps in Latin American countries, where the digital transformation has been slower but where digital technologies could also bridge gaps in access to quality health care.

Methods: This study aimed to assess views towards pregnancy and parenting apps in perinatal women and perinatal health care professionals in Chile through an online survey.

Strength-based Video-feedback to improve maternal sensitivity in mother-infant dyads with maternal depressive symptoms: Study protocol for a randomized controlled feasibility trial.

Introduction: Maternal sensitivity and mentalization are fundamental for children's mental health development. These skills have been negatively associated with maternal postpartum depressive symptomatology. Moreover, its prevalence increases in low socioeconomic and psychosocial risk contexts, where the access to treatment is scarce.

[Tactile communication within the father-mother-baby triad].

This literature review focuses on tactile interactions between parents and their infants. Research on the dyad has explored both cultural differences in touch and the relationship between touch style and hormonal secretion in both parents. The few studies that have examined this communicative modality within the triad have investigated the frequency and type of parent-infant touch, as well as the effect of skin-to-skin contact on tactile interactions at three months postpartum.

Improvement of patient care through hirudotherapy and the management of leeches from their reception to their disposal in France.

Objective: Medicinal leech therapy - known as hirudotherapy (HT) - is an empirical medical technique that has become popular again in reconstructive surgery. However, at each step of leech management there are risks for blood contamination of the caregivers and severe infections for patients. This reduces the success of the treatment.

Beyond the outcomes: generic change indicators in a video-feedback intervention with a depressed mother and her baby: a single case study.

Child and dyadic psychotherapy have been scarcely investigated from the psychotherapy process research perspective. Thus, content and mechanisms related to therapeutic change have been overlooked by research. This study aimed at testing the applicability of the generic change indicators (GCI) model to identify moments of change in the parent during dyadic interventions, as well as to explore, describe and illustrate the therapeutic process through a brief mentalization-informed intervention with a depressive mother and her baby, using video-feedback as its main strategy, which has ample evidence about its effectiveness.

Family dynamics. An exploration of parental sensitivity and depressive symptoms among mothers and fathers of toddlers.

In studies of maternal sensitivity, the influence of mothers' depressive symptomatology has been consistently highlighted. Additionally, the relevance of both maternal and paternal sensitive responses to children's development has been recognized. However, literature regarding the dynamics of the mother-father-toddler triad is scarce.

The impact of COVID-19 on experiences of pregnancy and/or early parenting in Chile.

The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has impacted families' mental health around the globe. In June 2020, 1163 parents of high (43%), middle (47%), and low socioeconomic status (SES) (10%) participated in an online survey developed to explore how daily life changes and restrictions that came with COVID-19 affected the experiences of pregnancy and/or parenting children under the age of 5 in Chile. The survey's design had an exploratory and descriptive scope, with a mix of qualitative and quantitative questions.

Depression and Antidepressants During Pregnancy: Craniofacial Defects Due to Stem/Progenitor Cell Deregulation Mediated by Serotonin.

Depression is a common and debilitating mood disorder that increases in prevalence during pregnancy. Worldwide, 7 to 12% of pregnant women experience depression, in which the associated risk factors include socio-demographic, psychological, and socioeconomic variables. Maternal depression could have psychological, anatomical, and physiological consequences in the newborn.

Impact of pharmacist interventions on clinical outcome and cost avoidance in a university teaching hospital.

Background A significant number of clinical pharmacy services have shown to improve in-hospital medication safety and patient outcome. Prescription review and pharmacist interventions are a fundamental part of hospital clinical pharmacy activities. In a context of restricted financial resources, proving the economic and clinical impact of this activity seems necessary.
