Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Maternal Mental Health
  • Interprofessional Collaboration

Background:

  • Mental health conditions represent the primary cause of pregnancy-related mortality in the U.S.
  • Effective management of postpartum depression (PPD) is critical for maternal well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of an interprofessional simulation on PPD management skills.
  • To assess changes in student attitudes and confidence regarding PPD care.

Main Methods:

  • A pre-posttest design study involving midwifery, women's health, and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner students.
  • Participants engaged in an interprofessional simulation focused on PPD scenarios.
  • The Revised Depression Attitude Questionnaire (R-DAQ) was used to measure changes in attitudes and confidence.

Main Results:

  • A statistically significant improvement in modified R-DAQ scores was observed post-simulation.
  • Student feedback indicated a positive experience, enhancing interprofessional communication.
  • The simulation boosted students' confidence in managing PPD.

Conclusions:

  • This study is the first to assess the efficacy of interprofessional simulation for PPD management training.
  • Interprofessional simulation serves as a valuable educational tool for advanced practice nursing students.
  • Future research should incorporate longitudinal data and multi-site evaluations.
