Summary
Goal-oriented nursing intervention (GONI) combined with exercise significantly improved outcomes for postpartum depression (PPD). This approach demonstrated greater effectiveness than exercise alone in reducing PPD symptoms over three months.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Health
- Mental Health
- Nursing Science
Background:
- Postpartum depression (PPD) affects a significant number of women, impacting maternal well-being.
- Effective interventions are crucial for managing PPD symptoms and improving patient outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the efficacy of goal-oriented nursing intervention (GONI) combined with exercise for treating postpartum depression.
- To compare the effectiveness of GONI plus exercise against exercise alone in women with PPD.
Main Methods:
- A retrospective analysis of 72 women diagnosed with PPD was conducted.
- Participants were divided into two groups: treatment (exercise + GONI) and control (exercise only), both for three months.
- Outcomes measured included the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17) scores, response rates, remission rates, and adverse events.
Main Results:
- The treatment group (exercise + GONI) showed significantly greater improvements in HAMD-17 total scores, response rates, and remission rates compared to the control group (P < .01).
- No adverse events were reported in either group, indicating a favorable safety profile for both interventions.
- GONI combined with exercise proved more effective in alleviating PPD symptoms than exercise alone.
Conclusions:
- Goal-oriented nursing intervention (GONI) in conjunction with exercise offers a beneficial and safe therapeutic strategy for women experiencing postpartum depression.
- Further prospective research is recommended to validate these findings and establish GONI as a standard PPD treatment.

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
