Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim is to develop, test and evaluate an educational intervention with the purpose to strengthen Child Health Services (CHS) Nurses clinical competence in detecting signs of postpartum depression in non-native-speaking immigrant mothers. The pilot study has a pre-post experimental design. Data are collected before and after the intervention. The differences in the values of the collected data are used to estimate the effect of the intervention.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To be eligible for the study the CHS nurse must perform screening of immigrant mothers for postpartum depression with help of an interpreter according to the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) method more than three times a year. The EPDS is a likert form scale with ten statements and is used in combination with a Clinical interview.

Approximately 40-45 CHS nurses will be enrolled in the pilot study. The number of nurses are calculated in comparison to two other published studies within the same context. The instruments Clinical Cultural Competence Training Questionnaire (CCCTQ) and General Self-Efficacy scale (GSE) will be used as primary outcomes measures. Data are collected before the first education day and after the second education day. Secondary outcomes are also collected in connection to the educational intervention and consists of reported yearly statistics; how many mothers were are offered screening, participated in screening, number of screenings preformed with help og an interpreter and number of mothers offered follow-up after participating in screening.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Allocated CHS nurses

Primary and secondary baseline data are collected from the allocated CHS nurses before the study starts. The CHS nurses are then given the educational intervention and afterwards primary and secondary outcomes are collected again.
