Area of Science:

  • Perinatal mental health
  • Social work in obstetrics
  • Parenting support interventions

Background:

  • Parenting challenges can emerge during the antenatal and perinatal periods.
  • Identifying at-risk mothers is crucial for timely intervention.
  • Existing screening methods may not fully capture psychosocial risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a psychosocial risk scoring system for antenatal and perinatal use.
  • To assess the predictive accuracy of the system for future parenting problems.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of social interventions for high-risk mothers.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a nine-item questionnaire administered by healthcare personnel.
  • Longitudinal assessment of parenting outcomes over a ten-year period.

  • Analysis of the impact of social interventions on parenting failure rates.

    • Main Results:

    • The psychosocial risk scoring system accurately predicts future parenting difficulties.
    • Mothers identified as high-risk were receptive to and utilized social intervention services.
    • Provision of social interventions was linked to a decrease in severe parenting failures.

    Conclusions:

    • A validated psychosocial risk scoring system can identify mothers needing support.
    • Targeted social interventions improve outcomes and reduce parenting failure.
    • Screening the entire obstetric population allows for focused allocation of limited social work resources.
