Preterm premature rupture of the membranes (PPROM): a study of patient experiences and support needs
CONCLUSION: This survey highlights areas in which care needs to be improved for women with PPROM. Previous studies have shown that providing good care during the antenatal period reduces long-term psychological morbidity for the whole family. The need for support, with regard both to information provided to women and their families and their psychological support needs to be addressed urgently.PMID:38361489 | DOI:10.1080/02646838.2024.2314179 (Source: Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology)

Navigating work and motherhood: exploring the link between career orientation and childbearing motivations in emerging adulthood
CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate that career aspirations are a highly complex construct, and their relationship to childbearing motivation may differ depending on how women perceive their future in the labour market. The mere desire to engage in professional work is not detrimental to childbearing motivation, but the anticipated costs of having children become greater the more a woman is career-centred and the lower her self-esteem.PMID:38363339 | DOI:10.1080/02646838.2024.2316317 (Source: Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology)

Associations of pelvic floor dysfunction and postnatal mental health: a systematic review
DISCUSSION: Most studies included for review found consistent associations between PFD and adverse mental health conditions. Healthcare providers should screen for PFD and postnatal mental health conditions early in the postpartum period. Future research should investigate whether the treatment of PFD can modify the associations between PFD and postnatal mental health conditions.PMID:38357811 | DOI:10.1080/02646838.2024.2314720 (Source: Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology)

Self-harm thoughts among postpartum women - associated factors
CONCLUSION: The results of this study can contribute to the development of prevention strategies: analysing separately items from PPD screening questionnaires focusing on SHTs can be an important part of prevention. The lack of the symptoms of PPD and anxiety risk does notexclude experiencing SHTs.PMID:38319751 | DOI:10.1080/02646838.2024.2313487 (Source: Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology)

Men, mindsets and birth: results of a prospective longitudinal study
CONCLUSION: The study results indicate that fathers do not take a merely passive role in childbirth. On the contrary, analogous to pregnant mothers, fathers' views about childbirth might contribute to the course of birth, and their own postpartum psychological well-being. The results of the present study, thus, highlight the importance of fathers for childbirth and in a broader sense, the results also contribute to a better understanding of the psychological framework of birth and represents a valuable starting point for further research.PMID:38265755 | DOI:10.1080/02646838.2024.2309374 (Source: Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology)

Experiences of success and failure in childbirth
CONCLUSION: Postpartum people categorise aspects of their birth experiences in terms of success and failure. Primiparous people are more susceptible to experiencing failure at childbirth, but possible differences between people with FOC and other people warrant further investigation.PMID:38221721 | DOI:10.1080/02646838.2023.2301380 (Source: Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology)

Efficacy of in-person versus digital mental health interventions for postpartum depression: meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
CONCLUSION: Digital mental health interventions show promise in addressing PPD symptoms, with a potentially greater effect size compared to in-person interventions. However, the high heterogeneity observed in both modalities underscores the need for further research to identify key drivers of success and tailor interventions to diverse populations. Additionally, the choice between digital and in-person interventions should consider individual needs and preferences. Ongoing research should further investigate and optimise intervention modalities to better serve pregnant women at risk of PPD.PMID:38221725 | DOI:10.1080/02646...

Effects of a residential psychoeducational parenting program on maternal anxiety and fatigue symptoms
CONCLUSION: This study confirms the effectiveness of a 5-day residential early parenting psychoeducational program provided by a private sector facility in reducing postnatal anxiety and fatigue rapidly, with effects maintained to at least 6-weeks post-discharge.PMID:38198123 | DOI:10.1080/02646838.2024.2303468 (Source: Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology)

Exploring parents' experiences and holistic needs following late miscarriage: a narrative systematic review
CONCLUSION: Literature about the experience of late miscarriage is scarce, with what was found reporting a lack of compassionate and individually tailored psychological follow-up care for parents following late miscarriage. Hence, more research in this arena is required to inform and develop this area of maternity care provision.PMID:38184816 | DOI:10.1080/02646838.2023.2297905 (Source: Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology)

Childbirth-related episiotomy and tear in relation to risk of postpartum depression: a retrospective cohort study on Omani mothers
CONCLUSIONS: Policymakers and clinicians are recommended to consider following up mothers with adverse birth outcomes to outline the risk of developing postpartum depression, at the same time as they routinely screen all mothers for risk of postpartum depression during their postpartum visits.PMID:38153261 | DOI:10.1080/02646838.2023.2300082 (Source: Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology)
