Public Health Nurse-Peer Co-Led Group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Postpartum Depression

Public Health Nurse-Peer Co-Delivered Group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Postpartum Depression: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of an online 9-week group Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT; a type of talking therapy) intervention that is co-led by public health nurses (PHNs) and individuals who have previously recovered (i.e., lay peers) from postpartum depression (PPD) for treating PPD when delivered in addition to treatment as usual (TAU) compared to TAU alone. The study will also assess the impact of the intervention on common comorbidities (anxiety) and complications (parenting stress, mother-infant relationship, social support, and infant temperament) of PPD and whether it is cost-effective.

Study Overview

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Conditions: Postpartum Depression
• Intervention / Treatment: Behavioral: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Postpartum Depression (PPD)

Detailed Description

The primary objective of the Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) is to determine if a 9-week group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) intervention delivered online and co-led by public health nurses (PHNs) and peers added to treatment as usual (TAU) can improve postpartum depression (PPD) more than TAU alone. Peers are individuals who have previously recovered from PPD and received training to deliver the intervention. The secondary objective of the RCT is to determine if the intervention can effectively treat its common comorbidities (anxiety) and complications (parenting stress, social support, mother-infant relationship, and infant temperament) and whether the intervention is cost-effective. 170 mothers/birthing parents will take part in the study with 50% being randomly assigned to the intervention group. All participants complete online questionnaires at 3 time points: baseline (T1), 9 weeks later (T2-immediately post-intervention in the experimental group to assess effectiveness) and 6 months later (T3-intervention durability).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Online CBT Group; Participants randomized to the Intervention group will attend a 9-week online CBT group co-led by a Public Health Nurse and a Peer (individual who has recovered from PPD and received training to deliver the intervention) in addition to receiving usual care.	Behavioral: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Postpartum Depression (PPD); Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy (talk therapy). The intervention consists of 9- 2hr sessions, the first half involves teaching and practice of CBT skills (cognitive restructuring, thinking errors, problem solving etc) followed by one hour of unstructured discussion around topics relevant to participants with Postpartum Depression (PPD) (sleep, supports, transitions, etc). Each group will be delivered by one randomly selected PHN and one randomly selected peer using our intervention manual.
No Intervention: Treatment as Usual; Participants randomized to the No Intervention group will continue to receive treatment as usual (standard postnatal care). A list of resources will be emailed.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Postpartum Depression	PPD is best conceptualized as a continuous construct with its impact operating across a continuum of severity. The primary outcome is change in PPD symptoms at 9 weeks (i.e., immediately post-treatment). This will be measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), a gold standard measure of PPD symptoms used commonly in research and clinical settings. The EPDS has 10 items scored on a scale 0-3. Scores range from 0-30, with higher scores indicating more severe depression symptoms. The EPDS will be examined as a continuous outcome. Changes in score of 4 or more points is considered clinically meaningful improvement.	9 weeks (post treatment/intervention)
Major Depressive Disorder	We will compare DSM-5-defined major depressive disorder (MDD) using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI). This interview will be administered by telephone at T2-T3. Symptoms must be present every day or nearly every day for a period of at least 2 weeks and include at least one of: depressed mood most of the day, markedly diminished interest or pleasure in all or almost all activities. There must be a total of five symptoms including the previous two criteria and the following five criteria: significant unintentional weight change or appetite change; insomnia or hypersomnia; psychomotor agitation or retardation; fatigue; feelings of worthlessness or inappropriate or excessive guilt; decreased ability to concentrate or make decisions; recurrent thoughts of death or suicidal ideation.	9 weeks (post treatment/intervention)

Postpartum Depression	PPD is best conceptualized as a continuous construct with its impact operating across a continuum of severity. The primary outcome is change in PPD symptoms 6 months later (i.e., to assess durability of intervention effects). This will be measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), a gold standard measure of PPD symptoms used commonly in research and clinical settings. The EPDS has 10 items scored on a scale 0-3. Scores range from 0-30, with higher scores indicating more severe depression symptoms. The EPDS will be examined as a continuous outcome. Changes in score of 4 or more points is considered clinically meaningful improvement.	6 months (durability of intervention effects)

Mother-Infant Relationship	The PBQ (Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire) is a 25-item maternal report measure that assesses four aspects of maternal-infant relations: (1) bonding, (2) rejection and anger towards the infant, (3) infant-focused anxiety and (4) incipient abuse. Subscales 1-3 will be explored as a continuous outcome using subscale total score. Respondents respond to each statement based on a 6-point scale, with total scale scores ranging from 0-125, with a higher cumulative score indicating more severe bonding disturbances. Each item is scored on a scale of 0-5 with higher scores suggestive of more problems. Mother-infant bonding will be measured as a continuous and dichotomous outcome, using cut-off scores for each subscale indicting bonding disorders. Cutoff values of 12 for the bonding subscale, 17 for rejection and anger, and 10 for infant-focused anxiety have been proposed to define bonding disorders in each category.	9 weeks (post treatment/intervention)

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Fidelity of Intervention Delivery	The fidelity with which the PHN/Peers deliver the 9-week CBT intervention will be assessed using measures of adherence and competence that were developed for evaluating delivery of the 9-week CBT groups. Each of the weekly CBT groups will be digitally recorded and trained raters will rate the adherence to the intervention model and competence with which the PHN/Peers deliver the intervention.	Weekly during the 9-week intervention
Assess Participant Satisfaction	The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 (CSQ-8) is an 8-item measure that measures and assesses consumer satisfaction with health and human services. Items are scored on a 4-point scale and total scores range from 8-32, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction. This will only be completed by participants who complete the 9-week CBT group, immediately after they participate in the intervention.	9-week (post treatment/intervention)
Psychotherapy Experience	Study participants will complete this questionnaire at T2 (past 9 weeks) and T3 (past 6 months) answering questions if they received any type of talking therapy or psychotherapy (ie. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Group Therapy) other than the group CBT sessions they may have attended as part of the research study. The questions ask about type of therapy received, why it was received, the number of sessions received and the date started and stopped. This information will be used as part of the sub-group analysis to examine the impact of other therapies on the intervention effectiveness.	9 weeks (post treatment/intervention)
