Description du projet
Une approche globale de la prévention des troubles mentaux maternels périnataux
Après l’accouchement, de nombreuses nouvelles mères et leurs partenaires éprouvent un blues post-partum. La dépression, l’anxiété et les sentiments de détresse émotionnelle sont courants et peuvent même conduire au suicide. De tels troubles affectent toute la famille. Malgré la prévalence du phénomène, il n’existe pas de programmes de prévention périnatale de la dépression et de l’anxiété fondés sur des données scientifiques. C’est pourquoi le projet e-Perinatal, financé par l’UE, entend mener la première recherche multidisciplinaire qui permettra de développer des programmes de prévention universels pour les troubles mentaux maternels périnataux. L’efficacité de l’approche et sa mise en œuvre proposée seront testées dans le cadre des pratiques de santé mondiales en tant que soins maternels standard dans les cas de troubles périnataux.
Objectif
Maternal mental disorders are the most common complications during pregnancy and within the first year after childbirth (defined as the perinatal period) and are the leading cause of maternal suicide. Affected mothers cannot function properly, causing a devastating impact on the entire family. Effective primary prevention interventions are urgently needed. However, the current scientific evidence is insufficient to implementing primary preventive programs at the population level.
I aim to establish the effectiveness of universal preventive interventions for maternal perinatal mental disorders and to support their implementation as normalized routine practice in global healthcare services. Integrating classical and emerging methodological frameworks (family systems, self-determination theory, and normalization process theory), as well as the perspective of patient and public involvement in research, I will: (a) Develop a personalized mobile-Health preventive intervention for mothers and their partners, which integrates evidence-based psychological components and personalized health recommendations; (b) Test preventive intervention effectiveness for reducing the incidence of maternal depression and anxiety disorder, reducing father/partner symptoms of depression and anxiety, and promoting child health and development; (c) Apply a causal methodology, to pinpoint the underlying mechanisms for the effectiveness of the preventive intervention; and (d) Understand the implementation process and identify the factors that can promote or inhibit implementation.
With the multidisciplinary team that I lead – and a large-scale hybrid effectiveness-implementation trail in real-world maternal health services – this research programme promises to be the first in its field. The resulting robust scientific evidence and novel explanatory model will create a new research paradigm. A toolkit for implementation research will enhance translation as normalized routine practice.
