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.

Women's Mental Health

Immigrant women constitute a relatively large sector of Canadian society. In 2011, immigrant women made up a fifth of Canada's female population, the highest proportion in 100 years; based on the current trends of immigration, this proportion is expected to grow over the next 20 years. As women immigrate and find themselves simultaneously experiencing an unfamiliar environment, being unacquainted with societal norms, and lacking vital social networks, they become vulnerable to mental health problems. This article aims to undertake a narrative review of the literature on immigrant women's mental health in Canada during antenatal and postpartum care by employing the transnational theory as a theoretical framework. The article starts with an overview of the theoretical framework, followed by a discussion on a literature review that particularly talks about culture, isolation and social support network, social determinants of health, and access to health care as elements to consider in avoiding mental health problem among immigrant women in antenatal and postpartum care. The literature shows a high number of depression among immigrant women, and mental health problems are higher among visible minorities than Caucasians. The highest antenatal and postpartum depression recorded are 42% and 13%, respectively. As Canada has long been and continues to be the land of immigrants, addressing the multiple factors affecting immigrant women's mental health is paramount to Canada truly achieving “health for all.”

Implementation Model

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), a common treatment for prostate cancer, is associated with physical, psychological, and sexual side effects that reduce patients’ quality of life. The authors designed an educational program to prepare patients for managing these side effects. This paper describes an implementation model for national dissemination of the program, testing its feasibility and acceptability at the institutional and patient level. Postprogram changes in patients’ self-efficacy to manage side effects and side effect bother are also explored. Patients on or anticipating ADT enrolled in the educational program. Pre and post intervention questionnaires measured patient satisfaction with the program, side effect bother, and self-efficacy to manage ADT side effects. The ADT Educational Program was deemed feasible and acceptable. Five of six targeted sites successfully launched the program with sufficient patient enrolment. Patient attendees were highly satisfied. Self-efficacy, bother, and use of management strategies were interrelated. Lower bother was associated with increased self-efficacy and more use of management strategies, and increased bother was associated with lower self-efficacy and less use of management strategies. Based on pre–post scores, improvements in patients’ self-efficacy to manage ADT side effects were also observed. Results demonstrate that this brief educational program is feasible and acceptable to patients and cancer care institutions. The program appears to promote self-efficacy and the uptake of ADT management strategies for ADT side effects. The results of this study support the program implementation and suggest that improvements in self-efficacy after program participation may help patients adapt to ADT side effects.

Dyadic Relationship

219 Background: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the most common systemic treatment for prostate cancer (PCa), but has many adverse effects that reduce patients’ quality of life and that of their partners. In 5 Canadian cities, we offer an educational program designed to help PCa patients and their partners manage ADT side effects as well as maintain a strong dyadic relationship despite changes that accompany ADT. Methods: Patients on or about to start ADT and their partners participate in a 1.5 hour educational session. Patients receive a copy of the 2014 book, Androgen Deprivation Therapy: An essential guide for men with prostate cancer and their partners (DEMOS Health, NY) which discusses how to manage ADT side effects and how to make effective lifestyle changes to maintain a good quality of life. To date, 358 patients and 220 partners have attended the ADT class. A subset (32%) of participants elected to complete questionnaires at baseline and again 2 to 3 months later to assess the program efficacy. Results: At the time of the ADT class, patients who have been on ADT for ≥ 2 months had more frequent side effects (e.g., hot flashes and breast tenderness), and were more bothered by hot flashes. They also reported worse self-efficacy for managing weight gain and diabetes than those who have been on ADT for < 2 months. However, at 2 to 3 months after the class, patients’ self-efficacy for managing ADT side effects improved, despite experiencing more side effects and more bother associated with those side effects. Notably, patients who were on ADT for a shorter duration (< 2 months), who have attended the class, had less bother associated with hot flashes and better self-efficacy for managing weight gain than those who had been on ADT longer before attending the class. Conclusions: The TrueNTH ADT Educational Program potentially dampens side effect bother and improves self-efficacy for two of the most troublesome adverse effects of ADT, hot flashes and weight gain respectively. The program is most beneficial when offered to patients just starting on ADT. Future analyses will focus on exercise behaviour and dyadic relationship to assess the program’s effectiveness in encouraging a healthy lifestyle and maintain strong dyadic bonds in the face of ADT.
