“…While there has been sufficient evidence that demonstrates barriers to receiving CBT in the perinatal period, the acceptability and efficacy of digital health interventions is less well known (41)(42)(43). Effective use of mobile technologies studies note that user engagement or use of digital health interventions or applications by women in the perinatal period remains sub-optimal.…”

The goal of the study was to evaluate the end user experience using the MamaLift Plus app for 2 weeks to support the treatment of their postpartum depression (PPD). A total of 14 participants completed the study and their experiences are reported in this publication. Participants reported that MamaLift Plus is an acceptable, highly usable, and practical mobile tool to use weekly for the management of their PPD. More research is warranted to evaluate the benefit of digital behavior health interventions, especially in patient populations where mental health care may be limited or harder to access by patients.

Objective This study investigated the effects of mobile health application designed based on mindfulness and social support theory on parenting self-efficacy and postpartum depression symptoms of puerperae. Methods We recruited 130 puerperae from a hospital in China and randomized them to an App use group (n = 65) and a waiting control group (n = 65). The App group underwent an 8-week app use intervention while the control group underwent no intervention. We measured four main variables (mindfulness, perceived social support, maternal parental self-efficacy and postpartum depressive symptoms) before and after the App use intervention. Results In the App group, perceived social support, maternal parental self-efficacy were significantly higher and postpartum depressive symptoms was significantly lower. In the control group, there were no significant differences in any of the four variables between the pre-test and post-test. Conclusions Our findings indicated that the mobile health application may help to improve perceived social support, maternal self-efficacy and reduce postpartum depressive symptoms. The finding of the mobile health application's effect extends our understanding of integrative effects of mindfulness and perceived social support on reduction of postpartum depressive symptoms and suggests clinical potentials in the treatment of postpartum depressive symptoms.
