The effects of depressive symptom management interventions on low-income mothers: A systematic review and
1College of Nursing, Chung-Ang University, Seoul, South Korea.
Aim:
To evaluate the effects of depressive symptom management interventions (DSMI) for low-income mothers.
Background:
Depressive symptoms and depression are common complications following childbirth. Depressive symptoms experienced by low-income mothers negatively affect infant-toddler development.
Design:
A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to provide a synthesized and critical appraisal of the included studies.
Data Sources:
We conducted a systematic search of randomized controlled trials in the following electronic databases through November 2017: PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycInfo, and Cochrane Library CENTRAL.
Review Methods:
Ten studies were found in the systematic review of DSMI in terms of content, mode of delivery, session, and provider. We then conducted a meta-analysis of nine randomized controlled trials with 798 participants, comparing low-income mothers with and without DSMI.
Results:
A significant effect was noted for DSMI in improving depressive symptoms in low-income mothers with young children and for interventions lasting 8 weeks or less.
Conclusion:
The meta-analysis suggested that DSMI for low-income mothers can be effective; however, the effectiveness varies by intervention type, intervention duration, and whether the mothers had other children.
Impact:
The findings of this study will contribute to the development of effective DSMI by providing scientific evidence for the development of such programmes for low-income mothers, especially with respect to target population and intervention duration.

03:12Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
