Detailed Description
The prevalence of perinatal depression and anxiety in South Asia are among the highest in the world. In Pakistan, approximately 18% to 60% of women experienced depressive symptoms at some point during their pregnancy. Early intervention for the management of mental illness in pregnancy is imperative as the effects of perinatal mental ill-health is not only limited to mothers but also can negatively impact child health outcomes. In a public health context, positive psychological interventions should be promoted as it reduces the burden of treatment, and enhance cost effective approaches in resource poor countries such as Pakistan.
As in Pakistan, no program has been planned and tested to enhance the positive psychological wellbeing among pregnant women that is based on individual strengths, that can be learnt, sustained and low cost as well. Hence, this study aims to facilitate pregnant women in practicing constructive coping and proactive skills which will help them to focus more on the positive approach of life rather than looking for the negative situations that is carried out in their daily lives.
The study will carried out in two phases:
Phase I: The objective of phase one is study is to develop "SM-ART" intervention [Safe Motherhood ART: Accessible Resilience Training]
Phase II: The objective of phase two is to test the effectiveness of "SM-ART" intervention [Safe Motherhood ART: Accessible Resilience Training] to improve resilience, marital harmony and decrease depression and pregnancy related anxiety in a sample of pregnant women presenting to Koohi Goth Hospital of Karachi, Pakistan
