Abstract

The effectiveness of electronic messages provided to postpartum women for improving mood and decreasing parenting stress is being measured in a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Initial feasibility data demonstrates that participants respond positively to the nursing intervention without significant time burden on nurses. Preliminary outcomes and implications will be addressed.
