  10. Who Women qualified to receive medical care at Ireland Army Community Hospital (IACH) Fort Knox What Screened for PPD When / Where OB/GYN Clinic 6 week postpartum visit Infant age 2 - 8 weeks Pediatric Clinic Newborn, 2 week, 2 month, 4 month, 6 month, and 9 month well child visits How Using Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) Positive screen Total score = 10 or more Positive score on question #10 (suicidal ideation) Yield 18 month period 1877 EPDS screens 1043 women “Incidence and Severity of Postpartum Depression Among Military Beneficiaries”

  11. “Incidence and Severity of Postpartum Depression Among Military Beneficiaries” Incidence varied between Peds and OB/GYN Clinics

  12. “Incidence and Severity of Postpartum Depression Among Military Beneficiaries” • Total incidence significant even 9 months postpartum • Should we screen throughout 1st year postpartum? n=7

  13. When to screen Bright Futures says 1 month, 2 month, and 6 month well child visits IACH study suggests every well child visit through first 9 months postpartum Consistency minimizes awkwardness What tool to use Most convenient for individual practice Educate all staff Confirmation of dx Not necessary by Pediatrician Positive screen in primary care setting should have further evaluation Delivery of screen Front desk clerks upon check-in Nursing with screening and vitals With other questionnaires / ASQ Ready for provider when enters exam room Scoring of screen Nursing Provider Addressing screen Provider Trained staff member Social worker Emergency contacts Screening Suggestions

  14. Now what? • Don’t screen until you know this answer! • What should you do with an abnormal screen? • Provide reassurance and education • Ask whether mother has primary care provider and gain permission to initiate conversation with that professional • Offer to initiate referral to mental health professional, support group, or other therapeutic agency • Initiate immediate referral if mother shows severe impairment, psychosis, or suicidal ideation • Refer to Early Intervention program for attachment concerns • Provide list of print and online resources • Schedule frequent office visits to follow up • What should you document (infant’s chart)? • Maternal EPDS score, including score of question #10 • Presence of maternal auditory or visual hallucinations or suicidal or homicidal ideation • Health care professionals who were consulted or to whom referrals were made • Follow-up plan (for both mother and child) • Current treatment (for both mother and child)

  15. Note mother-child interaction and assess attachment and bonding Ask specific questions Resources, stressors, history of depression, suicidal ideation Listen! Be prepared for her to deny her symptoms Be prepared for her to be unwilling to seek treatment Response to Screening What NOT to say This is a normal reaction all new mothers experience Don’t worry about… You have so much to be happy about… A healthy baby is worth it… You would never really do… Join ‘new mom’ group What to say You are not alone You are not to blame Not something you caused, could have prevented, or can control With help, you will be well It is okay to need help Depression is treatable Illness is temporary You are not “crazy” This is not reflection of you as person or mother Intrusive thoughts are different from psychosis
