Abstract
The purpose of this doctor of nursing practice (DNP) student quality-improvement project was to implement the use of a routine screening tool and increase patient education within a rural family practice setting, where women and neonates are treated and monitored after birth. After a review of current evidence-based practice in postpartum depression screening, a screening and education process was designed and implemented using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) tool, an educational brochure, and community-specific resource and referral information.
