“…This is one of the first studies to report the prevalence of antenatal depressive symptoms in a sample of Canadian men. Previous studies on paternal antenatal depression have reported prevalence rates ranging from 6.4% to 11.5% (Escribà-Agüir & Artazcoz, 2011; Escribè-Agüir, Gonzalez-Galarzo, Barona-Vilar, & Artazcoz, 2008;Figueiredo & Conde, 2011;Gawlik et al, 2014;Teixeira et al, 2009). Figueiredo and Conde (2011) using a cutoff score of ≥10 on the EDS reported a rate of 11.5% for expectant fathers in early pregnancy which increased in each trimester, particularly for first-time fathers, while Teixeira et al (2009) reported a rate of 6.4% in the third trimester which declined from 11.3% in the first trimester.…”

Dads Get Sad Too: Depressive Symptoms and Associated Factors in Expectant First-Time Fathers

This cross-sectional study aims to determine the prevalence and determinants of depressive symptoms in firsttime expectant fathers during their partner's third trimester of pregnancy. As part of a prospective study examining depressive symptoms in men over the first postnatal year, 622 men (mean age = 34.3 years, ±5.0 years) completed standardized online self-report questionnaires measuring depressed mood, physical activity, sleep quality, social support, marital adjustment, life events, financial stress, and demographics during their partner's third trimester of pregnancy. The Edinburgh Depression Scale was used to assess depressed mood. Partners also completed the Edinburgh Depression Scale in the third trimester. The results revealed that 13.3% of expectant fathers exhibited elevated levels of depressive symptoms during their partner's third trimester of pregnancy. Significant independent factors associated with antenatal depressive symptoms in men were poorer sleep quality, family history of psychological difficulties, lower perceived social support, poorer marital satisfaction, more stressful life events in the preceding 6 months, greater number of financial stressors, and elevated maternal antenatal depressive symptoms. These findings highlight the importance of including fathers in the screening and early prevention efforts targeting depression during the transition to parenthood, which to date have largely focused only on women. Strategies to promote better sleep, manage stress, and mobilize social support may be important areas to address in interventions tailored to new fathers at risk for depression during the transition to parenthood.

“…28 In addition to the impacts on mother and child, findings have shown that there are links between women's depression and their partner's mental health. 29,30 In men, partner depression has been found to be associated with a higher probability of reporting depression, 29 and PND in men has been reported as associated with depression in their partners during pregnancy and after delivery. 30 …”

“…Sessions including partners were rated as important, and as previous research has shown that there is a detrimental impact on the partners of women with PND 29,30 this may be a particularly important area for future research. A related concern is the impact of PND on other family members including the infant and siblings.…”

It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA programme is needs led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects. First is the commissioned route.

Background: Depression occurs in approximately 20% of pregnant women, with up to 25% experiencing anxiety. Various pregnancy and labour complications have been associated with maternal mood problems.Methods: This population study of antenatal and early postpartum depression and maternal, child outcomes involved 649 women assessed three times: the second trimester, the third trimester, and in the early postpartum. Our objective was to determine the occurrence and outcomes on pregnancy and labour of major and mild depression.Results: Major depression in the second trimester was significantly associated with developing gestational diabetes and swelling/edema. Major depression that occurred continuously throughout pregnancy was significantly associated with induced labour and antenatal bleeding/abruption. Mild depression in the second trimester was significantly associated with antenatal bleeding/abruption and premature rupture of the membranes. Mild depression in the third trimester was associated with caesarean birth. Mild depression that occurred continuously throughout pregnancy was significantly associated with the use of vacuum/forceps or operative delivery. Conclusions:Our findings show that either episodic depression or mild depression can have significant negative impact on pregnancy and labour complications.
