Introduction
Perinatal home visit (PHV) programs represent an opportunity to provide parenting support interventions for families that might not otherwise have access to them due to multiple adversity factors.
Methods
This retrospective study focused on 81 families referred for PHV in Paris since the program's creation in 2022. A 35-item grid was completed by the clinicians involved for each family to document the referral's context, socio-demographic, medical, and psychiatric characteristics, the ICD-10 diagnoses, and the care provided. These features were compared to the 2021 French National Survey on Perinatal Health data (NSPH).
Results
Most cases were referred by maternities, with visits starting in the antenatal period for 33% of the families. Situations of social deprivation (i.e., related to housing, income, or social protection access) were over-represented in these families compared to data from the national survey (Odd-Ratios [OR] = 8.2), as well as the contexts of violence during pregnancy (OR = 12.0). Half of these families were naïve about any psychological or psychiatric care. The mean number of visits was 7.79 ± 8.26, with the participation of different types of professionals (e.g., psychologist, motor therapist, childcare worker). The most common maternal psychiatric disorders were stress and trauma-related disorders, followed by depressive and anxiety disorders. Based on the Clinical Global Impression-Improvement subscale, 88% of the families were considered to have significantly improved at the end of treatment.
Conclusion
These preliminary results show the relative notable effectiveness in providing supportive parenting care for families having multiple risks.
