ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Prenatal depression is associated with numerous deleterious maternal and child health outcomes. Providers play a significant role in managing (i.e., identifying and treating or referring to care for) prenatal depression. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to test the effects of a brief online training on self-reported provider management practices related to prenatal depression.METHODS:
Providers (i.e., physicians, nurses, mental health specialists, and public health educators) were randomized into intervention (i.e., online training) or waitlist control arms. The online training covered guidelines and evidence-based practices related to managing prenatal depression. Changes in providers' knowledge, attitudes, and self-reported practices were assessed by the Management of Maternal Depression Inventory at baseline (T1), 6 weeks after baseline (T2), and 12 weeks after baseline (T3).RESULTS:
A total of 108 providers from Colorado and Virginia participated in the trial. Over the three time periods, repeated measures analysis of variance revealed Time × Group relative improvements for the intervention group with respect to satisfaction with working with mental health services, F(1,97) = 10.89, p = .001, partial η2 = 0.10, and increased self-reported screening, counseling, and referral for prenatal depression, F(1,97) = 6.25, p = .014, partial η2 = 0.06. A similar improving pattern was observed for self-efficacy, F(1,99) = 2.48, p = .13, partial η2 = .02.CONCLUSIONS:
Findings from our study suggest a brief online training may enhance the likelihood of providers screening, treating, and/or referring at-risk patients for follow-up care for prenatal depression.
