Implementation and Evaluation of the Eat, Sleep, Console Model of Care for Babies Diagnosed with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome: A Scoping Review Protocol

Introduction: Infants diagnosed with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) or neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) constitute a growing population in Canada. In most facilities, an outdated model of care is used to guide the care and assessment of babies diagnosed with NAS. Challenges with this outdated model have prompted the transition to a novel approach to care, the Eat, Sleep, Console model. Despite this promising intervention to improve patient and health system outcomes, little is known on how to effectively implement and evaluate the model in clinical practice. Objectives: We will conduct a scoping review to address the question, “How has the Eat, Sleep, Console model been implemented and evaluated in practice?”. Methods: We will follow the JBI methodology for scoping reviews and Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review framework. Reporting will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Published and unpublished literature will be included in the review. The following databases and grey literature will be searched: MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycInfo, Google Scholar, and websites identified in a Google website search. Two independent reviewers will screen literature and extract data based on predetermined eligibility criteria and data extraction tools. We will narratively describe quantitative data, along with completing an inductive thematic analysis of qualitative findings. Furthermore, we will conduct a directed content analysis of qualitative findings using the COM-B model of behaviour and RE-AIM (reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance) framework. We anticipate findings will be used to support future implementation of the Eat, Sleep, Console model into clinical practice, including subsequent evaluation of implementation.

Analysis Need Education for Postpartum Mothers

Background: Postpartum mothers need education to maintain themselves and their babies. Only a little study about material education is based on what a mother and husband need. The study aims to explore the need for education for postpartum mothers and identify materials, methods, and educational media needed by postpartum mothers. Methods: This study employed mixed methods with a sequential exploratory design. Stage 1 was done through a qualitative study with in-depth interviews with the seven participants using purposive sampling. Analyze the data with thematic deductive analysis. The quantitative phase used 300 postpartum mothers with a purposive sampling technique. An instrument study questionnaire was prepared by researchers, and a trial was conducted on 50 respondents with valid and reliable results. Quantitative data analysis with descriptive analysis Results: It found six themes, namely "education to take care of a mother,” “education needs to take care of a baby,” "time-giving information,” "methods of providing education,” educational media,” and "sources of information.” The most needed maternal care educational material is about breastfeeding (4.55 ± 0.531), breast care (4.46 ± 0.531), and mental health (4.45 ± 0.584). Material related to baby care that is mainly needed is immunizations (4.59 ± 0.493), signs and dangers of newborns (4.55 ± 0.685), and umbilical cord care (4.53 ± 0.557). The media chosen by the mother are online media and video. Direct education method by health workers. Timing of education during pregnancy. Conclusion: Giving education should be customized with materials needed by the mother. Education will succeed if supported by educational media, appropriate methods, and time in education and carried out by healthcare professionals.

Understanding the Challenges Nurses Encounter with Monitoring Technologies in a NICU

A neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) provides an optimal environment for the care of preterm babies. Bedside nurses are fundamental to this care provided to preterm babies in the NICU. Modern NICUs are technology-intensive space, instrumented with several monitoring technologies to help the nurses track the babies in their care. These technologies help the nurses in a way that is essential for the successful operation of the NICU. To understand how these monitoring technologies function in the NICU from the viewpoint of the nurses, we conducted semi-structured interviews with seven nurses who work at a NICU in the US. We then performed a thematic analysis on the interviews and we found that, despite the utility of the monitoring technologies, they also pose several challenges to the nurses in performing their duties. More specifically, we discovered that: (1) all elements of the monitoring technologies posed a challenge in some way; (2) in a few specific situations, the nurses were able to make up for some of these challenges; and (3) the nurses suggested improvements to all elements of the monitoring technologies. Based on these findings, we describe six areas of future research that argue for the design of monitoring technologies as a way to empower nurses. These include: improved vital signs monitoring that facilitate kangaroo care, using voice to manage alarms, video feeds controlled by nurses in the patient rooms, giving more control over the alarm sounds to the nurses, having a common interface and leveraging augmented reality to help the nurses control the monitoring technologies.

Neonatal staff perceptions and attitudes towards Family Integrated Care and Fathers: A Multi-site Survey

An anonymous questionnaire study was conducted to explore the attitudes and current practices of neonatal clinical staff to fathers and Family Integrated Care (FICare) in 2 neonatal units (level 2 and level 3).166 (65%) staff members responded. The majority agreed with parents' involvement in their baby's care, including providing skin-to-skin as soon as possible whilst receiving intensive care. Overall, parental presence for non-invasive procedures was welcomed. Staff strongly valued the role of fathers in caring for their baby and supporting the mother. They recognised the impact of the NICU admission on fathers' well-being.The study found a positive attitude towards the involvement of both parents in their baby's care in intensive care. Staff believed that fathers play an important role during a baby's neonatal admission. Further education and training are required to improve knowledge and support practice, particularly with challenging or complex scenarios.

Do postpartum insomnia, fatigue and depression affect the maternal role of primiparous women?

ABSTRACT Many factors negatively affect the motherhood role. Fatigue, insomnia and depression, which are among these factors, have not been investigated together in any study. Therefore, we carried out this study to determine the effect of insomnia, fatigue and depressive symptoms on the motherhood role in primiparous mothers. In this descriptive and cross-sectional study, we included 153 women who met the inclusion criteria using the simple, random sampling method. To determine the independent variables affecting the motherhood role, we used the backward regression model. In this study, we determined that the women’s spending more energy while they performed the activities of daily living in the postpartum period, their suffering from insomnia due to baby care and their depressive symptoms affected their motherhood role by 32.6 percent. We also determined that there was a moderately significant relationship between insomnia, fatigue and depressive symptoms in the postpartum period. In particular, because depressive symptoms are the variable most related with the motherhood role (r = -0.520; p < .001), women should be followed-up regularly in the postpartum period from this aspect. It is also important to deal with insomnia in the early postpartum period, because it is a common problem in most women after childbirth.

Edukasi Shaken Baby Syndrome Sebagai Upaya Mencegah Perilaku Kekerasan Anak Di Masyarakat

Introduction: The background to this community service emerged due to increasing violence in the care of shaken babies, which can have a negative impact on child development. The aim of this service is to provide education to parents and caregivers about safe and caring care for babies, so that they can prevent incidents of shaken baby syndrome and cases of violence against children. Method: This Community Service uses a pre-post test design method to determine the level of knowledge of fathers before and after providing educational outreach on shaken baby syndrome (SBS). The population in this activity were fathers aged 18 – 30 years who had just had a child or had a second child within a year of the couple's postpartum period, numbering 150 people. The sample used in this activity was 60 people using a sampling technique, namely cluster area random sampling. Results: The results of this study showed that there was an increase in knowledge between before and after being provided with education about shaken baby syndrome (SBS), namely that 38 respondents (63.3%) had a sufficient level of knowledge about shaken baby syndrome (Shaken Baby Syndrome). SBS). Conclusion: Increasing knowledge about shaken baby syndrome is a key step in efforts to prevent violent behavior in children.

Effect of intervention of music-assisted therapy on physiological parameters of premature babies - A randomized trial

PurposeTo investigate the effect of intervention of music-assisted therapy (MAT) on the physiological parameters of premature babies. MethodsA two-arm parallel-group randomized controlled trial. This study randomly enrolled a total of 41, 28-to-34-week-old premature babies as the subjects to measure their physiological parameters (body temperature, heartrate, respiration, and blood oxygen level). The control group (n = 20) received general routine care, the experimental group (n = 21) received the intervention of MAT (oriental Nanguan music) for three consecutive days, and the data were collected for the following three days after the intervention. ResultsThe results showed that compared with the premature babies receiving general routine care, there were statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) in the heartrate and blood oxygen level in those receiving the MAT (experimental group). However, there was no statistically significant difference in body temperature and respiration. ConclusionThe heartrate, respiration, and blood oxygen level in the premature babies receiving the MAT were gradually stabilized. In addition, this study also verified that oriental Nanguan music, which has a low frequency and a simple melody, could stabilize the physiological parameters and sleep behavior of premature babies. This study could provide an auxiliary care method for the developmental care of premature babies. In the future, it is hoped that MAT can be included into the regular curriculum of nursing education to provide family-centered holistic care, reduce the stress and anxiety of parents of premature babies, and improve the clinical quality of care indicators.

THE EFFECT OF KANGAROO MOTHER CARE ON REDUCING POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Background: Postpartum depression is a frequent health problem for women during the postpartum period and contribute to maternal morbidity and mortality. Postpartum depression continues to rise with the estimated prevalence in Indonesia is 11.76% in 2021. Kangaroo Mother Care is care for premature babies with skin-to-skin contact between the mother and the baby. Kangaroo Mother Care has been utilized as a non-pharmacological intervention to prevent and reduce the risk of postpartum depression. The aim of the research is to assess the possibility of using Kangaroo Mother Care to reduce the risk of postpartum depression. Method: This was a systematic review study reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. Literature was searched in PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, Sage, and Scilit databases with criteria; article published in 2014–2023, published in English and open access, original research articles, includes postpartum mothers as subjects, includes discussion on the impact of Kangaroo Mother Care on postpartum depression. Exclusion criteria are duplicate articles and articles with titles that do not match the discussion. Result: Six articles that met the inclusion criteria were used in this study. Research and studies were conducted in Indonesia, Spain, and 2 studies in Iran and India. Five studies found that postpartum mothers who carried out Kangaroo Mother Care showed reduction in the risk of postpartum depression, while one study showed the opposite results. Conclusion: Kangaroo Mother Care is effective in reducing postpartum depression in postpartum mothers.

Memory making in critical care: A qualitative thematic synthesis.

Caring for bereaved families is an important aspect of the nursing role in critical care. Memory making practices are one way in which dying, death and bereavement can be acknowledged and supported within critical care. Memory making was introduced into the care of stillborn babies and neonatal deaths to improve parents' experiences of bereavement, and has since become common practice in adult critical care. The aim of this qualitative thematic synthesis was to explore families' experiences of memory making in critical care, with a view of gaining greater understanding of the ways in which memory making impacts bereaved families. A systematic search strategy was developed, and five databases were searched (Medline, CINAHL, PsychINFO, Embase and ASSIA). Seven qualitative studies were included: four were conducted in adult and three in paediatric critical care settings in which memory making was initiated between 2014 and 2020. Memory making practices included, patient diaries, general keepsakes, word clouds and photography. The thematic synthesis generated four main themes to describe families' experience of memory making in critical care: 'connection', 'compassion', 'engagement and creation' and 'continuation'. Memory making is a meaningful activity for families whose loved one dies in critical care; it brings focus and meaning during a devastating process in a highly technical environment. Families rely heavily on nursing staff for support and guidance. The creation of memories and/or keepsakes can have a positive impact on the bereavement experience for families and can facilitate a continuing bond with their loved one. Memory making is a worthwhile practice to support and guide family bereavement within critical care. It can provide structure and purpose during an emotionally challenging transition, by supporting families to focus on a meaningful activity during a devasting time.

Evaluation of traditional methods applied by mothers in infant care: A comparison between Turkish and Lebanese mothers.

Objective: Traditional practices for infants vary across communities and may sometimes pose risks to infant health. Healthcare professionals must be aware of these practices during infant- child visits. This study aims to investigate the traditional practices of Turkish and Lebanese mothers on infants, explore the relationship between these practices and compare the similarities and differences between the two cultures. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional survey involving Turkish and Lebanese mothers living in Istanbul. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews using a questionnaire inquiring about sociodemographic information about the family, general information about the baby, and traditional practices performed by the mothers. Statistically, Pearson's chi-square test, Fisher's Exact test, and independent t-test were applied. Results: The study included 382 mothers, comprising 200 who were Turkish and 182 who were Lebanese. In both groups, the proportion of mothers who received information about infant care was approximately 90%. The most common source of information was the internet in both groups, 35% (63) of Turkish and 53.2% (92) of Lebanese mothers used the internet as a source of information. The second source of data used for baby care were the family elders in the Lebanese mothers (28%), and the health personnel in the Turkish mothers (24%). Turkish mothers practised celebrating the fortieth day, salting, using amber necklaces for teething, and giving pacifiers more frequently than Lebanese mothers. In the case of jaundice, Turkish mothers frequently breastfeed, while Lebanese mothers consult a doctor. The use of potentially risky practices is rare in both groups. No significant relationship was found between maternal education levels and the use of traditional practices. Conclusion: This study highlights the widespread use of traditional practices among both Turkish and Lebanese mothers during child-rearing. The study's results could inform health strategies to reduce the prevalence of potentially risky traditional practices among mothers and promote adopting safe, evidence-based child-rearing practices.

Efektifitas Baby Massage Terhadap Kenaikan Berat Badan Dan Kualitas Tidur Bayi Di Asyfalesha Mom n’ Baby Care

Infancy is a golden period for a child's growth and development so it needs special attention. One of the factors that influences a baby's growth and development is sleep and rest. The need for sleep is not only seen from the quantity aspect but also the quality. With good quality sleep, the baby's growth and development can be achieved optimally. One way that can be used to fulfill these needs is baby massage. Baby massage is a gentle stroking or massaging therapy for babies, this is stimulation through tactile stimulation, gentle massage approaching soft and gentle massage on the surface of the baby's skin gently, on the tissues and organs of the body. Baby massage is useful for increasing the baby's concentration and making the baby sleep soundly, to increase the baby's growth and weight, increase the body's endurance, build bonds of love between parents and children and improve blood circulation and breathing. A baby's weight is influenced by heredity, nutrition, environment, gender and social status. Body weight is an anthropometric indicator for assessing growth in babies or children. Balanced nutrition and basic health care in the form of immunizations. Regular massage for babies can increase the baby's weight and the length of time the baby sleeps. This happens when the baby is massaged and the baby feels relaxed so it is easy for the baby to sleep. The initial survey was conducted through direct interviews with AsyfAlesha Mom n' Baby Care, which opened a baby massage practice. Therefore, researchers are interested in examining the effectiveness of baby massage on weight gain and baby sleep quality at AsyfAlesha Mom n' Baby Care, whether its implementation is effective in supporting weight gain and baby sleep quality to prevent stunting in babies.

Development and Effects of Mobile-Application-Based Parenting Support Program for Premature Infants' Mothers.

Premature infants are separated from their parents after birth and are admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. Separation of babies from mothers causes various problems. Therefore, as the number of premature infants increases every year, educational programs to continuously support baby care are needed. In this study, a nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design was employed. The subjects of the study were 52 mothers of premature infants (16 in the app-based program group, 18 in the electronic document group, and 18 in the control group) using a portal site for parents from February to April 2023. The app-based program and electronic document group followed a parenting support program for two weeks. There were significant differences in maternal confidence between the app-based, electronic document, and control groups (F = 7.354, p = 0.002). Providing necessary information and emotional support through professional counseling centers' app-based programs for premature infants' mothers, and providing interaction through member community bulletin boards, are proposed to form an effective educational program.

Baby massage can stimulate the development of baby's gross motor skills, which is part of motor activity that involves large or gross muscle skills. The ability to use large muscles for babies is a basic movement ability. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between infant massage and gross motor development in infants aged 3-6 months at Nareswara Mom and Baby Care Kudus. This study uses a quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample consisted of 50 infants aged 3-6 months at Nareswara Mom and Baby Care, Kudus, with the sampling technique using total sampling. Analysis of research data using univariate and bivariate analysis using chi square. The results of the univariate analysis showed that there were 33 babies (66%) aged 3-6 months who were in the routine category, while there were 17 babies (34%) who were in the non-routine category. Furthermore, gross motor development was normal in 24 infants (48%), gross motor development in question was in 17 infants (34%), and gross motor development was deviant in 9 infants (18%). The results of the bivariate analysis showed that 22 respondents (44%) had normal gross motor development for infants aged 3-6 months who had regular massages, 9 respondents had doubts (18%), and 2 respondents had deviations (4%). Furthermore, infants aged 3-6 months in the non-routine category with normal gross motor development were 2 respondents (4%), doubtful 8 respondents (16%), and deviant 7 respondents (14%). Then the results of the chi square test show the sig. Asyim (P-Value) of 0.000 is less than 0.05 (0.000 &lt;0.05). Statistically, there is a relationship between infant massage and gross motor development for infants aged 3-6 months at Nareswara Mom and Baby Care, Kudus. Thus it is hoped that mothers who have babies routinely provide baby massage stimulation in order to improve the baby's gross motor development.

A RIGOROUS EXAMINATION OF THE APPROPRIATENESS AND CONSEQUENCES OF DEFERRED CORD CLAMPING IN PRETERM BABIES

The timing of umbilical cord clamping is a pivotal decision in neonatal care, especially for preterm babies. Recent discussions have pivoted around the merits and drawbacks of Delayed Cord Clamping (DCC) compared to Immediate Cord Clamping (ICC). This study aimed to assess and contrast the implications of DCC versus ICC on clinical, respiratory, developmental, and maternal outcomes among preterm neonates. A multicentric, forward-looking, cross-sectional investigation was executed. The study encompassed 350 preterm neonates from various centers. They were categorically split: 175 underwent DCC, while the other 175 experienced ICC. Diverse outcomes, spanning clinical to maternal, were meticulously evaluated. DCC neonates demonstrated elevated early post-birth hemoglobin and hematocrit measurements. The DCC group reported reduced polycythemia occurrences, diminished transfusion necessities, and lesser demands for cardiovascular interventions. Regarding respiratory metrics, the DCC faction showed a decreased incidence of RDS. Neurodevelopmental indicators, such as cognitive and motor capabilities, were more pronounced in the DCC segment. The DCC group manifested reduced neonatal mortality rates and fewer sepsis cases. Maternally, post-delivery hemorrhage was comparable between groups, yet the DCC set displayed heightened satisfaction and a more pronounced initiation and continuity in breastfeeding. The evidence suggests that DCC may present multiple benefits over ICC for preterm neonates in terms of health and developmental outcomes. This underscores the potential of DCC as an integral component of best practices in neonatal care for premature babies.

36 Quality Improvement Integrated Kangaroo Mother Care (QIiKMC)-Development with Evidence-based Practice for Improving Quality (EPIQ) to Improve Learning and Implementation

Abstract Introduction/Background Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) improves outcome for small newborns, but implementation has been slow. This lag may be associated with lack of short, effective learning programs for healthcare workers, and limited ability to overcome barriers to KMC program development. Objectives To develop a practical learning program for KMC with focus on facilitating healthcare workers assisting the learning of mothers and other family members in KMC care of small babies. To integrate KMC with quality improvement to assist healthcare workers overcome barriers to implementation and improve practice. Design/Methods Six neonatologists, with other global experts, developed as simulation-based, interactive, 12-contact-hour learning program with virtual pilot testing in Uganda, Tanzania, and Nepal, prior to implementation in Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital in Uganda. Revisions in QIiKMC course content and integration with quality improvement were accompanied by development of A KMC Readiness, Survey, Knowledge and Confidence Check, Parent Information, and Course Evaluation, with all components available at www.cnf-fnc.ca. Results Thirty-three nurses and physicians increased knowledge scores from 79% to 88% post-learning. 77% indicated the course was useful or very useful, appreciating “The link between EPIQ and KMC in identification and solving problems” and the “Usefulness of family involvement in caring for the newborn in the hospital and home”. Participants indicated preferences for face-to-face learning and more time for hands-on practice. KMC for small babies increased from 0% to 65% (by August-October 2022). Length of hospital stay decreased by 5 days. Government increased KMC beds from 4 to 8. Staff reported increased job satisfaction along with increased quality improvement activities. Family members in addition to mothers were involved (especially with multiple births or if the mother was ill). Families helped other families with learning. One father reported that “When my baby grows up, I will let him know that it was my warmth which kept him alive”. Conclusion Development of a short, practical KMC learning program was feasible. Integration with quality improvement was empowering and impactful. Acknowledgements Funding from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and a Rotary Global Grant is appreciated. Potential competing interests Funding for learning program development was received from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Funding for KMC implementation in Uganda was supported by a Rotary Global Grant.

To What Extent Would Raising Low Birth in Developed Countries Affect the Economy

The focus of this article is on falling birthrates in developed nations, and it examines the underlying causes, consequences, and initiatives taken to address it. It covers a variety of topics, including political science, international relations, and other subjects in addition to economics and demographics. The effects of low fertility are discussed, along with how they affect household income, capital growth, and automation. Gender variations are also evaluated. The essay also discusses the U.S.-centered national policy and its effects on things like taxes and aging.Since the detriments outweigh the benefits, the policy needs to be implemented. The three policies (immigration, automation, and baby care) directly or implicitly increase fertility and thus social productivity, while generating a set of issues that need to be refined. In general, the aging situation and the population density of cities may be compromised by the implementation of the policies and produce multiplier effects. In general, rising fertility adds varied amounts of stress to each family. And somehow, by implementing childcare programs, strain on women will be substantially less and their productivity will rise to some level. In the long run, the government will also generate more fiscal revenue due to the increase in personal income tax, which boosts social welfare and raises government input. The effects are favorable for social productivity and employment rates. The senior population has improved security, and the pension shortfall is partially closed.

Hubungan Pengetahuan dan Sikap Ibu terhadap Pelaksanaan Pijat Bayi di PMB Muzilatul Nisma Kota Jambi

Baby care in health sciences, especially midwifery, there is many of kinds that use to maintain the health of babies from newborns to 12 months of age. One of baby care is baby massage. Baby massage is an art of health care that is touch therapy with specialy techniques that given to babies there for the benefits of treatment and health are achieved. This research is quantitative with cross sectional approach. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between mother's knowledge and attitudes towards the implementation of infant massage for infants 0-12 months at PMB Muzilatul Nisma Jambi City. The data collection of mother's knowledge and attitudes towards the implementation of infant massage was collected by a questionnaire. The population in this study were all mothers with babies 0-12 months who visited PMB Muzilatul Nisma totaling 80 people with a sample of 45 peoples. The sampling technique is accidental sampling. Data analysis was carried out univariate and bivariate using chi square statistical test. The results showed that there was a relationship between knowledge and massage in infants aged 0-12 months with p-value = 0.039. Beside that, there is a relationship between mother's attitude and baby massage in infants aged 0-12 months with a P-value = 0.012. From the results of this study, it is hoped that health workers and midwifery service providers will be more active in providing education to the public about baby massage.

“Holding Families in Uncertainty”: A Framework Analysis of the Role and Impact of Children's Hospices in the Provision of Perinatal Palliative Care

There is growing international evidence of the benefits of early perinatal palliative care for babies and their families. Despite this, inconsistency remains in ways care is provided by services including fetal medicine, maternity and neonatal services, and children's hospices. The aim of this study was to answer the question “ What are the benefits and barriers to family-centered perinatal advance care planning from the perspective of professionals involved in the care of neonates and infants with life-limiting conditions?” Three focus groups comprising hospice practitioners were held across the UK. A lack of awareness of the role of hospices was described as the biggest barrier to referral to hospice services. Practitioners unanimously described having a physical presence alongside teams, as being the biggest contributor to improved multiagency working, facilitated through joint working and education provision. Early referral to hospice services, in parallel with curative services led to better outcomes and experiences of families, according to participants.

Identifying the common elements of psychological and psychosocial interventions for preventing postpartum depression: Application of the distillation and matching model to 37 winning protocols from 36 intervention studies.

Postpartum depression is prevalent worldwide and seriously endangers maternal and child health. Previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of psychological and psychosocial intervention programmes in preventing postpartum depression. However, the literature offers limited practice guidance. Therefore, this study aimed to deeply analyse prior findings to gather rich evidence-based information on this topic. Using the distillation and matching model, we conducted a systematic review of psychological and psychosocial interventions used to effectively prevent postpartum depression. Four researchers trained in coding system independently read eligible studies and identified reliable (Cohen's kappa >0.40) and frequently occurring (frequency ≥3 winning study groups) practice elements. Our review included 36 studies containing 37 winning study groups. Fourteen practice elements were identified and subsequently divided into six categories: postpartum practical problems-related, social support-related, interpersonal psychotherapy-related, cognitive behavioural therapy-related, labour trauma-related and non-specific techniques. The most common practice elements were baby care skills and mother-infant bonding/interaction enhancement. Inter-rater reliability averaged 0.86, ranging from 0.48 to 1. The practice elements identified in this study provide rich evidence-based information that can guide clinical practitioners in selecting or developing effective, realistically available intervention programmes.
