Article Synopsis
- Internet-based interventions like m-WWWT can help address postnatal depression and anxiety among new mothers, and this study explored its feasibility and effectiveness among participants in Chile.
- The study involved 128 first-time mothers who were randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group, with high recruitment and low dropout rates indicating that the intervention was well-received.
- Although the overall effectiveness showed no significant differences between groups, certain women with lower initial symptoms did benefit from the intervention, suggesting potential for future research in similar contexts.
Symptoms of postpartum depression and anxiety in new mothers are prevalent and negatively impact maternal emotional wellbeing and infant development. Barriers to accessing treatment prevent women from receiving mental health care, a situation that has worsened due to the COVID-19 pandemic. mHealth interventions hold the potential to support women during the transition to parenthood despite these barriers and to promote the use of preventive interventions.
