Abstract
The purpose of this best practice guideline (BPG) is to present evidence-based recommendations for nurses and the interprofessional team across all care settings to enhance the quality of their practices to support the reduced incidence of perinatal depression through the implementation of five components of care: routine screening, assessment, prevention, coordinated interventions, and evaluation.
The scope of this BPG recognizes perinatal depression as the most commonly occurring mood disorder during pregnancy and postpartum. Furthermore, while recognition is given to the impact that perinatal depression can have on partners, infants, other children, and families (as defined by the person), the scope of this BPG is limited to the person at risk for or experiencing perinatal depression.
