“…Furthermore, we performed prespecified subgroup analyses to investigate differences in the outcome measure between (1) different methods of intervention delivery (via messenger/SMS, a mobile application, a website, or online face-to-face), (2) studies with or without pre-registration, (3) studies including or lacking intention-to-treat analyses, (4) studies comparing the intervention to an active or non-active control group, (5) studies including subjects with baseline mental health above or below the clinically relevant threshold, and (6) studies with a low vs. moderate vs. high risk of bias according to the RoB2 tool [ 41 ]. In two post hoc moderator analyses, we examined differences between the predominant ethnicities of the sample (US Caucasians vs. European Caucasians vs. Asians) since some studies suggest an altered susceptibility to mindfulness interventions depending on the ethnic group [ 45 , 46 ] and we investigated the influence of the percentage of primiparous mothers in the sample, an established risk factor for mental health issues in pregnant women [ 47 ].…”

Introduction. Pregnancy is a unique time in a woman’s life that can be both exciting and challenging. It is also a period that can be associated with significant stress, anxiety, and depression, which can have negative consequences for both the mother and the baby. Mindfulness interventions are known to be a well-suited treatment and prevention method for psychiatric symptoms in pregnancy, and web-based applications have been explored. We here present an up-to-date systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized–controlled trials to investigate the effect of digital-based mindfulness interventions on depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms during pregnancy. Methods. The systematic literature search and data extraction was performed by two independent raters. It resulted in 13 eligible studies overall comprising 1373 participants. We conducted random-effects meta-analyses for depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms after completion of a digital mindfulness intervention (compared to a control group). Results. Digital mindfulness intervention methods were significantly able to reduce depression (g = −0.47, 95% CI [−0.9; −0.09]) and anxiety symptoms (g = −0.41, 95% CI [−0.77; −0.05]), but not stress symptoms. These effects were moderated by the attrition rate (βDepression = 0.025, pDepression < 0.01; βAnxiety = 0.022, pAnxiety < 0.01; βStress = 0.022, pStress < 0.01). Primiparity also had a significant influence on the intervention effect regarding depression symptoms (β = 0.033, p = 0.024). Conclusions. Digital mindfulness interventions are a promising method to reduce mental health symptoms in pregnant women. We identified certain parameters moderating this effect, for example, primiparity and the attrition rate.
