Ngai FW, et al. - Researchers conducted multisite randomized controlled trial comparing couple-based cognitive behavioral intervention (CBI)(n = 134), women-alone CBI (n = 124) and control (standard perinatal care; n = 130) for childbearing couples with postnatal depression. A 3-hour antenatal group session and two 30-minute postnatal telephone follow-up sessions were provided in the CBI. Outcomes revealed significantly more improvement in depressive symptoms at 6 weeks postpartum for mothers in couple-based CBI vs women-alone CBI or control groups. This suggests a higher efficacy of couple-based CBI in reducing the incidence of postnatal depression among Chinese mothers in the early postpartum period. This effect, however, was not sustained at 6 and 12 months, and no significant effect was seen among fathers.
