Maternal Postpartum Depression

Introduction: The postpartum period represents the time of risk for the emergence of maternal postpartum depression. There are no systematic reviews of the overall maternal outcomes of maternal postpartum depression. The aim of this study was to evaluate both the infant and the maternal consequences of untreated maternal postpartum depression. Methods: We searched for studies published between 1 January 2005 and 17 August 2016, using the following databases: MEDLINE via Ovid, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group trials registry. Results: A total of 122 studies (out of 3712 references retrieved from bibliographic databases) were included in this systematic review. The results of the studies were synthetized into three categories: (a) the maternal consequences of postpartum depression, including physical health, psychological health, relationship, and risky behaviors; (b) the infant consequences of postpartum depression, including anthropometry, physical health, sleep, and motor, cognitive, language, emotional, social, and behavioral development; and (c) mother–child interactions, including bonding, breastfeeding, and the maternal role. Discussion: The results suggest that postpartum depression creates an environment that is not conducive to the personal development of mothers or the optimal development of a child. It therefore seems important to detect and treat depression during the postnatal period as early as possible to avoid harmful consequences.

Maternal Postpartum Depression

Postpartum depression is a psychiatric disorder that starts from the second to the sixth week after birth. Postpartum depression has been shown to have an association with infant growth, nutrition, bonding, temperament and ultimately childhood mental wellbeing. This paper reviews overall outcomes of untreated maternal postpartum depression towards the mother-child interactions consequences. Systematic review was conducted in the online databases Google Scholar and PubMed using the index terms “postpartum depression” and “maternal outcomes” or “children outcomes”. Total of 10 studies (out of 112 references retrieved from bibliographic databases) were included in this systematic review. The results of the studies were synthetized into mother–child interactions, including bonding, breastfeeding, and the maternal role. The results suggest that postpartum depression creates an environment that is not conducive to the mother-child interaction thus regressing personal development of mothers or the optimal development of a child. It therefore seems  important to detect and treat depression during the postnatal period as early as possible to avoid harmful consequences.

Abstract More than 17 million family caregivers (FCGs) provide care for older adults with chronic illness in the US. Caregiving for older adults with chronic disease places a considerable burden on FCGs and they tend to neglect their personal health. Generally, physical activity (PA) programs benefit the physical and psychological health of FCGs. However, no review of PA randomized clinical trials (RCTs) focused on FCGs of older adults with chronic disease. In this systematic review, we analyzed the most recent trends (2010-2020) in RCTs identifying the effects of PA in this population. This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Electronic databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, PsycInfo, Cochrane Library) were searched for publications dated from 2010 to 2020. All studies included were appraised for quality using the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias Tool. Of the resulting 16 studies, most studies (n=11) targeted FCGs of older adults with dementia or cancer. Most FCGs were non-Hispanic white. PA interventions with mixed modes (e.g., aerobic and resistance exercise), mixed delivery methods (e.g., in-person and telephone) and mixed settings (e.g., supervised gym- and unsupervised home sessions) were used most frequently. PA interventions significantly improved psychological health but had inconsistent effects on physical health. Tailored PA programs, designed based on FCGs’ goals, preferences and limitations, may improve upon physical health outcomes. Future PA studies should include samples of racially and ethnically diverse FCGs of older adults representing a broader range of chronic diseases.

Objectives:Emotional disclosure has been widely publicized as having beneficial effects on physical and psychological health. A full systematic review was undertaken, with standard health technology appraisal methods, with the aim to assess the effects of emotional disclosure on healthy participants and those with pre-existing morbidity, particularly on longer-term physical health, performance, and psychological outcomes.Methods:Randomized controlled trials of emotional disclosure were obtained from database searches (Medline (1966–2003), Embase (1980–2003), Cochrane Library (2002, issue 4), Web of Science (1981–2003), Cinahl (1982–2003), and Theses (March 2003), Internet sites (including Professor J.W. Pennebaker's home pages), and personal contacts. Quality was assessed qualitatively and by Jadad score. Meta-analysis was conducted, using Revman 4.1 software, where more than two trials reported the same outcome.Results:Sixty-one trials were found meeting the inclusion criteria. Most had less than 100 participants and the median Jadad score was 0. A wide variety of physical, physiological, immunological, performance, and psychological outcomes were measured, but fewer were reported. There was no clear improvement for emotional disclosure compared with controls in objectively measured physical health and most other outcomes assessed.Conclusions:The opinion that this intervention is beneficial needs to be reassessed in light of the totality of evidence available.

Abstract Behavioural activation (BA) aims to increase positive response-contingent environmental reinforcement and help caregivers to engage in pleasant and constructive activities, and therefore improve psychological and physical health among family caregivers of people with dementia (PWD). However, knowledge of the effectiveness of BA in this population remains limited. The current study applied a systematic review and meta-analysis in order to determine the effectiveness of BA among family caregivers of PWD. Literature was searched in PubMed, Medline, CINAHL, Cochrane, Embase and PsycINFO published from March 1988 to March 2018. Seven Randomized Control Trials (RCT)s evaluating the effects of BA in family caregivers of PWD were eligible to be included in this review. Cochrane’s guideline was used in order to measure risk of bias and extract data. A random effects model was used to pool the effect size. Family caregivers of PWD receiving BA that only for caregivers demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in depression (n=3; 311 participants; Cohen’d=0.55; 95% CI: 0.30 to 0.81; P<0.001). BA also had a positive impact on interlukin-6, negative affect of caregiving, relationship satisfaction, dysfunctional thoughts and distress related to neuropsychiatric symptoms of PWD for family caregivers. The available evidence suggests that future studies are needed to focus on better ways of administering BA to family caregivers of PWD, to improve their physical and psychological health. Meanwhile, more RCTs to investigate the effects of BA on psychological and physical health for family caregivers of PWD is needed.

Abstract Background The knowledge about the experience of informal caregivers who provide care to people with moderate to advanced dementia in a domestic home setting is limited. A consequence of long hours of caregiving in addition to dealing with normal challenges of daily living is their experience of a poor quality of life. Some of their experiences may be described in terms of a feeling of powerlessness to make changes during care provision. This feeling may also suggest an experience of moral distress. The aim of this systematic review is to synthesise qualitative evidence relating to these experiences. Methods This review adopts a narrative synthesis approach. A search will be conducted for studies written in the English language in the bibliographic databases MEDLINE Complete, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Web of Science and Academic Search Complete covering periods from 1984 to present. Included studies will be qualitative or mixed-methods designs. The search terms will be related to dementia and caregivers, and the process will be focused on dementia at the moderate to the advanced stages within the domestic home setting. Reference lists of included papers will also be searched for additional relevant citations. Search terms and strategies will be checked by two independent reviewers. The identification of abstracts and full texts of studies will be done by the author, while the quality and the risk of bias will also be checked by the two independent reviewers. Discussion Psychological distress is cited as an experience reported within informal caregiving. For the caregiver, it is associated with a negative impact on general health. To date, no synthesis exists on the specific experience of informal caregiving for people with moderate to advanced dementia within the domestic home setting. This review considers that variation of accounts contributes to how the informal caregivers’ general experience is explored in future research. This may enable gaps in current knowledge to be highlighted within the wider context of caregiving in the domestic home setting. Systematic review registration This review is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020183649).
