Abstract
The focus of this guideline is on the confirmation, prevention, and treatment of mothers with depressive symptoms in the first postpartum year. This guideline will benefit community, family practice, and hospital-based nurses, as well as other health professionals caring for postpartum women. Specific Practice Recommendations relate to the confirmation of mothers with depressive symptoms and include implementation of effective preventive and non-pharmacological treatment interventions. Education Recommendations are suggested to support clinical practice in the care of mothers experiencing depressive symptoms in the postpartum period. Finally, Organization and Policy Recommendations have been developed to address the importance of a supportive practice environment that enables the provision of effective care and includes strategies for ongoing evaluation of guideline implementation.
