Abstract

Background

Up to one in five women experience perinatal depression and/or anxiety with profound negative consequences for mothers and families. Peer support interventions have the potential to effectively prevent perinatal mental health conditions. Meanwhile, mobile health has gained popularity and plays a significant role in enhancing maternal health services. However, little is known about the availability of mobile health combined with peer support for supporting perinatal mental health. This scoping review aimed to map the relevant literature and gain insights into the available evidence on mobile health and peer support for perinatal mental health, to identify gaps and inform opportunities for future research.

Methods

A scoping review of the literature was conducted. The search strategy included five databases: CIANHL, Scopus, PsycInfo, PubMed, and ScienceDirect for the period from 2007 to 2022.

Results

Eight studies met the inclusion criteria, including features of online support strategies, effectiveness, and attitudes of women about peer support with mobile health. The results showed decreased depressive scores and provided a positive experience for women. Strong satisfaction with accessibility and flexibility of mobile health was found when combined with the peer support features. Additional emotional support tools (e.g., mindfulness-based activities) were likely to be acceptable to women and beneficial to mobile health.

Conclusions

Understanding the context of peer support and mobile health informs the potential to support perinatal mental health. Further research in this growing area is needed to test the effectiveness of peer support in combination with mobile health intervention for supporting perinatal mental health.

针对围产期心理健康的同伴支持和移动医疗：范围综述。

背景：多达五分之一的妇女经历过围产期抑郁和/或焦虑，对母亲和家庭造成了深远的负面影响。同伴支持干预措施有可能有效预防围产期精神健康状况。与此同时，移动医疗已得到普及，并在加强孕产妇保健服务方面发挥着重要作用。然而，人们对移动医疗与同伴支持相结合支持围产期心理健康的可用性知之甚少。本范围综述旨在对相关文献进行梳理，深入了解移动医疗和同伴支持在围产期心理健康方面的现有证据，找出差距，为未来研究提供参考：方法：对文献进行了范围界定。搜索策略包括五个数据库：搜索策略包括五个数据库：CIANHL、Scopus、PsycInfo、PubMed 和 ScienceDirect，时间跨度为 2007 年至 2022 年：八项研究符合纳入标准，包括在线支持策略的特点、有效性以及女性对移动医疗同伴支持的态度。研究结果显示，妇女的抑郁评分有所下降，并获得了积极的体验。当移动医疗与同伴支持功能相结合时，人们对移动医疗的可及性和灵活性非常满意。额外的情感支持工具（如基于正念的活动）可能会被女性接受，并对移动医疗有益：结论：了解同伴支持和移动医疗的背景有助于挖掘支持围产期心理健康的潜力。需要在这一不断扩大的领域开展进一步的研究，以检验同伴支持与移动医疗干预相结合对支持围产期心理健康的有效性。
