“…An Australian trial that targeted families where the child was at greater risk for poor health and developmental outcomes for environmental reasons (n = 181) evaluated the effect of extensive nursing home visits on PPD at 6 and 16 weeks postpartum (37,38). Women were recruited in the immediate postpartum period, according to self-reported vulnerability factors, and were randomly allocated to receive either a structured program of nursing home visits (n = 90) or standard community child health services (control group; n = 91).…”

A pproximately 13% of women from diverse cultures will experience postpartum depression (PPD) within the first 12 weeks after childbirth (1). This hidden morbidity has well-documented health consequences for the mother, child, and family. While women who have suffered from PPD are twice as likely to experience future episodes of depression over a 5-year period (2), infants and children are particularly vulnerable. PPD can cause impaired maternal-infant interactions (3) and negative perceptions of infant behaviour (4), which have been linked to attachment insecurity (5,6), Results: Twenty-nine studies that met criteria were examined. These included studies evaluating interpersonal psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, psychological debriefing, antenatal classes, intrapartum support, supportive interactions, continuity of care, antenatal identification and notification, early postpartum follow-up, flexible postpartum care, educational strategies, and relaxation with guided imagery. Conclusions:While this review demonstrates that no specific approach can be strongly recommended for clinical practice, many explicit research implications have been highlighted. To further address PPD as a public health problem, it is critical to include ethnically and socioeconomically diverse women in research efforts examining the differences among depression symptoms, intervention response rates, and health service use.( Can J Psychiatry 2004;49:526-538) Information on funding and support and author affiliations appears at the end of the article. Clinical Implications· Translating risk-factor research into predictive screening protocols and preventive interventions has met with limited success; complex interactions of biopsychosocial risk factors with individual variations need to be contemplated. · No specific approach can be strongly recommended for clinical practice. · It is critical to include ethnically and socioeconomically diverse women in research efforts examining the differences among depression symptoms, intervention response rates, and health service use. Limitation· Descriptive studies were excluded.

Objective: To map scientific production on family health and nursing.Methods: This is a bibliometric study carried out in the ISI Web of Knowledge/Web of Science TM in the temporal cut between the years 1957 and 2016, using the following search topics: "family health" and "nursing". The search results were analyzed according to the temporal evolution of the publications records; The most prominent magazines; The most productive authors; The articles with the highest number of citations and the most productive institutions and citation relations among the most cited groups of articles in global and local relations.

“…The specification of developmental milestones at different ages and stages of development provide important indicators from which to compare children's progress across a number of developmental domains. Social work literature and practice has given particular attention to research about how the interactional quality of early relationship experiences affect psychological health and social functioning as well as biologically impacting on the rapidly developing brain (Zeanah et al, 1997;Armstrong et al, 2000;Schore, 2001). Modern attachment theorists have explored the importance of the parent-child attachment relationship in the way the mind processes interpersonal information to use as a psychosocial template for future relationships (Howe, 2005).…”
