Abstract

This evidence-based Doctorate of Nursing Practice capstone project aimed to determine whether standardized perinatal depression (PND) screening identifies more cases of PND than provider discretion. Through quantitative and qualitative data analysis, authors concluded that standardized screening is more sensitive in detecting patients who may have PND, than clinical judgement alone.
