This study examined the effect of a brief psycho-educational program, Time Together, on maternal self-efficacy, mother-infant bonding, and mood/anxiety for community-based mothers. This program centered on maternal voice, timing of interplay, and recognition of infant cues. A convergent parallel mixed-methods design included quantitative measures: the Karitane Parenting Confidence Scale, the Mother-Infant Bonding Scale, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and State & Trait Anxiety Inventory, and a sequential qualitative analysis to elaborate on the quantitative findings. Significant changes on the Karitane Parenting Confidence Scale were found. Qualitative analysis of the participant interviews and reflective diaries from the two weeks following the psycho-educational program confirmed that participation enhanced mothers’ ability to understand their infant, to soothe their infant when distressed, to play and to establish an effective bedtime routine. This feasibility study indicated that this is a promising approach to improve early mother-infant interaction and maternal self-efficacy.

Abstract Background Health workers lacked the competence to address maternal depression in routine the health education in Nigeria. Hence, awareness among maternal-child health clients is low. We assessed the effect of training and/ supervision on knowledge, skills and self-efficacy of primary healthcare workers in delivering health talks and the clients’ knowledge on maternal depression. Methods A quasi-experimental study design was adopted. Five Local Government Area (LGAs) in the Ibadan metropolis were grouped according to geographical proximity and randomly assigned to experimental (Group A=two LGAs) and control (Group B= three LGAs) with 12 primary health centres in each group. All primary health care workers recruited in group A received a one-day training on maternal depression. Good Knowledge Gain (GKG), Good Skill Gain (GSG) and Self-Efficacy (SEG) based on bloom’s cut off were assessed in both groups. After 1 week, the knowledge of all the PHCs’ attendees in the two groups were assessed. A week after, a half of group A’s PHCs received supportive supervision and a clinic based health education skill assessment was conducted. The knowledge of clients and their health seeking were also assessed. Fisher’s exact test, independent t test and Poisson regression were used to analyze differences in percentages and mean/ factors associated with GKG, GSG and SE, using SPSS 25. Results Training improved gains in the experimental versus controls as follows: GKG (84.3% vs. 15.7%), GSG (90.7% vs 9.3%) and SEG (100% vs 0%). Training contributed to the good gain in knowledge (RR=6.03; 95%CI =2.44-16.46; p<0.01); skill (RR=1.88; CI=1.53-2.33; p<0.01).) and self-efficacy (RR=2.74; CI=2.07-2.73; p<0.01). Clients in the experimental group had higher knowledge gain score than in the control (7.10±2.4 versus -0.45±2.37); p<0.01). The rater supervisor observed better motivation in the supervised group than the not supervised. Forty clients sought help in the intervention group while none in the control group. Thirty-five clients sought help in the supervised group while only five did in the not supervised. Conclusions Training followed by supervision improved the competence of health workers to transfer knowledge to clients. This is recommended in the primary healthcare settings to improve uptake of maternal mental health services.
