    • Main Results:

    • A significant gap exists between the prevalence of postnatal depression and its identification.
    • Nurses are uniquely positioned to identify early signs of maternal depression.
    • Effective nursing support can improve outcomes for mothers and infants.

    Conclusions:

    • Improving the identification of postnatal depression requires enhanced nursing training and protocols.
