“…The postnatal period presents several treatment barriers including lack of time due to childcare duties and not wanting to take medication due to breastfeeding concerns (Maloni et al 2013). Fear of stigmatization is a particularly potent treatment barrier for postpartum women with some expressing concern that their infant would be removed from their care or that they would be labeled as "mentally ill" (Dennis and Chung-Lee 2006, p. 325).…”

“…In a recent study, 90 % of women who selfreported PPD indicated that they would use the internet to learn treatment strategies for PPD and over half reported a willingness to access an internet-facilitated intervention for PPD (Maloni et al 2013). Furthermore, preliminary evidence suggests that internet therapy is efficacious for the treatment of PPD.…”

Postpartum depression (PPD) afflicts up to 15 % of women following childbirth and negatively impacts both mother and child. Therapist-assisted internet cognitive behavior therapy (TAICBT) is a promising intervention for the treatment of PPD; however, women's perceptions of TAICBT have not been examined. Responses to 10 open-ended questions from 24 women who received TAICBT for PPD were thematically analyzed. The majority of women expressed that the TAICBT program afforded flexibility, accessibility, and convenience, as well as anonymity and privacy. Some participants described the program as helping them take a step in the right direction and enhance their self-awareness and parenting skills. Participants also described having the internet therapist individualize their treatment. Challenges related to the TAICBT program were also identified by a minority of participants including managing time to log onto the program, the fast pace, completion of homework around childcare duties, and challenges of not having a face-to-face therapist. Participants also made suggestions for future programming. The large majority of participants consistently described their internet therapist favorably; however, challenges related to the internet therapy were also identified. Results should be integrated in the development of future programming.

“…Notably, the Internet was found to be the preferred source of information among these women [20]. For example, 90% used the Internet to search for health-related information [20] and 69% used the Internet to seek formation about postpartum depression [26]. They expressed interest in use of Web-based resources and greater engagement in ehealth behaviors related to mental health [27].…”

BackgroundA growing number of meta-analyses have supported the application of therapist-supported Internet-based cognitive behavior therapy (iCBT) for psychological disorders across different populations, but relatively few meta-analyses have concentrated on postpartum women.ObjectiveThis meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy of therapist-supported iCBT in improving stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms among postpartum women.MethodsA total of 10 electronic databases were used to search for published and unpublished trials. Cochrane Collaboration tool for assessing risk of bias was utilized to measure methodological quality. Meta-analysis was performed using the RevMan software (Review Manager version 5.3 for Windows from the Nordic Cochrane Centre, the Cochrane Collaboration, 2014). Among the 789 studies identified, 8 randomized controlled trials were selected, involving 1523 participants across 6 countries.ResultsMore than half (65%) of the eligible studies had a low risk of bias with no heterogeneity. Results revealed that therapist-supported iCBT significantly improved stress (d=0.84, n=5), anxiety (d=0.36, n=6), and depressive symptoms (d=0.63, n=8) of the intervention group compared with those of the control group at post-intervention.ConclusionsThis review revealed that therapist-supported iCBT significantly improves stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms among postpartum women with small to large effects. Future effectiveness studies should establish the essential components, format, and approach of iCBT with optimal levels of human support to maximize a long-term effect.

“…Due to these advantages, in recent years there has been a growing effort towards developing and testing e-mental health applications for maternal depression with positive outcomes [23–25] and high acceptability and feasibility ratings among users [20, 21, 26]. Despite all these advantages, yet their adoption and use is marginal.…”

ObjectiveOur study focuses on exploring (1) the intention of health professionals to use and recommend e-mental health applications, (2) how this intention of health professionals might be influenced, (3) which group of health professionals might be most accessible to promote e-mental health applications for maternal depression, and (4) for which tasks they rate them to be most useful.Materials and methodsBased on a questionnaire informed by the theory of planned behavior, we collected 131 responses of U.S., Spanish, and Swiss health professionals in the field of pregnancy and maternal care (including psychologists, psychiatrists, midwives, and doctors) by means of an online survey. We analyzed the gathered data applying a structured equation model.ResultsOur study reveals that health professionals would in general intend to recommend and use e-mental health applications. However, their attitude towards e-mental health applications varies regarding the respective use cases and also differs among health professions.ConclusionWe offer three alternative propositions for private or public organizations, associations, or any other entity whose purpose is service to the community for introducing e-mental health applications into practice.
