Abstract:
Mental health disorders are the most common complications of pregnancy and the postpartum period. Our objective was to assess the content of the perinatal mental health curriculum in obstetrics and gynaecology residency programs, as well as residents' appreciation of their training. All participating trainees in our online survey (N = 24) identified mental health training as important for their practice. Residents reported insufficient training for competent screening (76.2%), diagnosis (85.7%) and initiation of treatment (100%) of perinatal mental health disorders. Lack of time was the most cited obstacle. Our results suggest that undertraining could impact clinical behaviours as well as quality of patient care.
