Effect of prenatal mindfulness training on depressive symptom severity through 18-months postpartum: A latent profile analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We examined whether prenatal mindfulness training was associated with lower depressive symptoms through 18-months postpartum compared to treatment as usual (TAU).

Method

A controlled, quasi-experimental trial compared prenatal mindfulness training (MMT) to TAU. We collected depressive symptom data at post-intervention, 6-, and 18-months postpartum. Latent profile analysis identified depressive symptom profiles, and multinomial logistic regression examined whether treatment condition predicted profile.

Results

Three depressive symptom severity profiles emerged: none/minimal, mild, and moderate. Adjusting for relevant covariates, MMT participants were less likely than TAU participants to be in the moderate profile than the none/minimal profile (OR = 0.13, 95% CI = 0.03-0.54, p = .005).

Conclusions

Prenatal mindfulness training may have benefits for depressive symptoms during the transition to parenthood.

Project description:BackgroundPostpartum women experience an array of psychological symptoms that are associated with adverse health behaviors and outcomes including postpartum suicidal ideation and long-term depression. To provide early management of postpartum psychological symptoms, it is important to understand how the symptom experiences change over time.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to examine maternal psychological symptom trajectories over 2, 6, 15, and 24 months postpartum using latent class growth analysis and to examine how each trajectory is associated with maternal depression outcome at 24 months.MethodsWe used secondary data from the Family Life Project ( N = 1,122) and performed multitrajectory latent class growth analysis based on four observed symptom variables (depression, anxiety, somatization, and hostility). After the final model was identified, bivariate analyses were conducted to examine the association between each trajectory and (a) individual characteristics and (b) outcome (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale [CES-D]) variables.ResultsA four-class model was selected for the final model because it had better fit indices, entropy, and interpretability. The four symptom trajectories were (a) no symptoms over 24 months, (b) low symptoms over 24 months, (c) moderate symptoms increasing over 15 months, and (d) high symptoms increasing over 24 months. More postpartum women with the trajectory of high symptoms increasing over 24 months (Trajectory 4) were in low economic status (92.16%), unemployed (68.63%), or did not complete 4-year college education (98.04%). Most postpartum women (95.56%) in Trajectory 4 also had higher CES-D cutoff scores, indicating a possible clinical depression at 24 months postpartum.DiscussionPostpartum women who experience increasing symptom trajectories over 15-24 months (Trajectories 3 and 4) could benefit from tailored symptom management interventions provided earlier in the postpartum period to prevent persistent and worsening symptom experiences.

Project description:Background Although depression is well established as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the nonpregnant population, this association has largely not been investigated in pregnant populations. We aimed to estimate the cumulative risk of new CVD in the first 24 months postpartum among pregnant individuals diagnosed with prenatal depression compared with patients without depression diagnosed during pregnancy. Methods and Results Our longitudinal population-based study included pregnant individuals with deliveries during 2007 to 2019 in the Maine Health Data Organization's All Payer Claims Data. We excluded those with prepregnancy CVD, multifetal gestations, or no continuous health insurance during pregnancy. Prenatal depression and CVD (heart failure, ischemic heart disease, arrhythmia/cardiac arrest, cardiomyopathy, cerebrovascular disease, and chronic hypertension) were identified by International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9)/International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes. Cox models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs), adjusting for potential confounding factors. Analyses were stratified by hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. A total of 119 422 pregnancies were examined. Pregnant individuals with prenatal depression had an increased risk of ischemic heart disease, arrhythmia/cardiac arrest, cardiomyopathy, and new hypertension (adjusted HR [aHR], 1.83 [95% CI, 1.20-2.80], aHR, 1.60 [95% CI, 1.10-2.31], aHR, 1.61 [95% CI, 1.15-2.24], and aHR, 1.32 [95% CI, 1.17-1.50], respectively). When the analyses were stratified by co-occurring hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, several of these associations persisted. Conclusions The cumulative risk of a new CVD diagnosis postpartum was elevated among individuals with prenatal depression and persists even in the absence of co-occurring hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Further research to determine the causal pathway can inform postpartum CVD preventive measures.
