Internet-based Problem Management Plus (IPM+) significantly reduced depression, anxiety, and stress in pregnant women. These positive effects on mental health and sleep quality were sustained for three months post-intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Mental Health
  • Psychiatry
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Antenatal depression is a significant public health concern.
  • Existing psychological interventions face challenges like resource limitations and long treatment durations.
  • Internet-based Problem Management Plus (IPM+) shows promise for general depression but needs verification in pregnant populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of IPM+ in alleviating depressive symptoms among pregnant women.
  • To assess the impact of IPM+ on anxiety, perceived stress, and sleep quality in this population.

Main Methods:

  • Eighty pregnant women were randomized into an intervention group (5-week IPM+) and a control group (routine care).
  • Data on depressive mood, anxiety, stress, and sleep quality were collected at baseline, post-intervention, and 3-month follow-up.

  • Standardized scales including the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale were utilized.

    • Main Results:

    • The IPM+ group exhibited significant improvements in depressive symptoms, anxiety, and perceived stress compared to the control group at both post-intervention and 3-month follow-up.
    • Statistically significant improvements in sleep quality were observed in the IPM+ group at the 3-month follow-up.
    • Effect sizes for key outcomes ranged from 0.51 to 0.76, indicating moderate to large effects.

    Conclusions:

    • IPM+ is an effective intervention for reducing depression, anxiety, and perceived stress in pregnant women.
    • The benefits of IPM+ on mental health and sleep quality are sustained for at least three months.
    • IPM+ offers a viable solution to address challenges in managing antenatal depression.
