Abstract
Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders occur in 10-20% of women but are often not identified and treated. Through an evidence-based practice project, an educational intervention was implemented for patients and staff. Results were measured, indicating the effectiveness of the intervention. This process can be applied to other areas of nursing.
