    Introduction: Perinatal depression affects mothers, babies and society. Preventive interventions are needed, but face barriers to access. E-health interventions could be an effective and accessible option. To date, few studies have attempted to understand the use of mobile health (m-health) applications and why they are not more widely used. This study aims to understand the demographic characteristics of enrolled participants and examine dropout patterns through the Healthy Moms and Babies app. Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted with a sample of 511 women recruited between 2020 and 2022. Data were collected from the app, including sociodemographic information, the participant’s progress through the modules of the app, and the permissions granted to use the app. Results: Out of the 511 women who completed the initial form to initiate participation, 279 downloaded the app and completed the evaluation. Results indicated that granting permission to be notified about the module’s availability is related to an increase in the use of the first modules. Conclusion: This study shows the importance of establishing follow-ups in the use of mobile apps during the perinatal period.

    Hygiene-based measures for the prevention of cytomegalovirus infection in pregnant women: a systematic review

    Background Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the most frequent congenital infection worldwide causing important sequelae. However, no vaccine or antiviral treatments are currently available, thus interventions are restricted to behavioral measures. The aim of this systematic review was to assess evidence from available intervention studies using hygiene-based measures to prevent HCMV infection during pregnancy. Methods Studies published from 1972 to 2023 were searched in Medline, PsycInfo, and Clinical Trials (PROSPERO, CRD42022344840) according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Methodological quality was assessed by two authors, using ROBE-2 and MINORS. Results After reviewing 6 selected articles, the outcome analysis suggested that implementation of hygiene-based interventions during pregnancy prevent, to some extent, the acquisition of congenital HCMV. Conclusions However, these conclusions are based on limited and low-quality evidence available from few studies using this type of intervention in clinical practice. Thus, it would be necessary to perform effective and homogeneous intervention studies using hygiene-based measures, evaluated in high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

    The relationship between healthcare experience and perinatal depression during COVID-19 pandemic
    (Colegio Oficial de la Psicología de Madrid y la Fundación del Colegio Oficial de la Psicología de Madrid, 2022-11) Kovacheva, Katina; Rodríguez Muñoz, María de la Fe; Gómez Baya, Diego; Domínguez Salas, Sara; Motrico, Emma
    Background: The prevalence of peripartum depression (PPD) has increased substantially since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. To reduce the probability of contagion, hospitals had to adapt their care protocols, including the care of women in the perinatal period. Method: A cross-sectional study was used in a total sample of 3,356 women, 1,402 in the prenatal period and 1,954 in the postnatal period. They completed the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale to assess depressive symptoms and the Spanish version of the Coronavirus Perinatal Experiences to assess health experience. Results: The results showed that feeling very well supported by a health professional was associated with a lower risk of PPD. On the other hand, believing it very important to have access to a mental health professional and being concerned about changes in infant care due to COVID-19 were associated with a higher risk of PPD. Conclusion: The results showed the relationship between health experience and the risk of depressive symptoms, highlighting the importance of considering the psychological aspects in the development of measures and protocols for perinatal care.

    The socio-demographic profile associated with perinatal depression during the COVID-19 era
    (Springer Nature, 2023-04-28) Kovacheva, Katina; Rodríguez Muñoz, María de la Fe; Gómez Baya, Diego; Domínguez Salas, Sara; Motrico, Emma
    Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused an increase in perinatal depression. The aim of this research was to identify which sociodemographic variables are related to the increase in perinatal depression due to the pandemic. In addition to estimating to what extent they predict perinatal depression, diferentiating the prenatal and postnatal periods. Methods The sample consisted of 3,356 subjects, 1,402 in the prenatal period and 1,954 in the postnatal period. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was used to assess depressive symptomatology. A subset of 14 questions was included to collect demographic data. Items from the Spanish version of the Coronavirus Perinatal Experiences Survey were also included. Results Experiencing the change of environment due to COVID-19 as negative and having a history of mental health predict perinatal depression, otherwise having higher education decreases the risk. In the prenatal stage hav‑ ing symptoms compatible with COVID-19 is a predictor of perinatal depression and having more than 3 years living together with the partner and being a housewife decreases the risk. In the postnatal stage being unemployed is a predictor of prenatal depression and being a frst-time mother decreases the risk. Conclusions This study highlights the relevance of sociodemographic status. It is essential to be aware of the risk fac‑ tors of perinatal depression, to make adequate prevention, and to create health policies to alleviate the consequences of the pandemic.

    El tratamiento psicológico del insomnio durante la infancia: Una revisión paraguas.
    (Grupo de Investigación Análisis, Intervención y Terapia Aplicada con Niños y Adolescentes, Universidad Miguel Hernández, 2023-01) Kovacheva, Katina; Rodríguez Muñoz, María de la Fe
    El insomnio es un problema muy frecuente en niños y adolescentes y está relacionado con numerosos resultados negativos. La evidencia sobre las intervenciones psicológicas efectivas en el tratamiento del insomnio infantil ha ido en aumento, pero carece de una síntesis exhaustiva de los hallazgos. Por ello, realizamos una revisión sistemática de revisiones sistemáticas y meta-análisis sobre la efectividad de las intervenciones psicológicas en el tratamiento del insomnio infantil. Se realizaron búsquedas en la base de datos PsycINFO, hasta julio de 2022, mediante una combinación de palabras clave. Los datos fueron extraídos de forma independiente por las dos autoras y se presentó una síntesis de los resultados. La calidad metodológica fue evaluada de forma independiente por las dos autoras, utilizando AMSTAR-2. Se incluyeron cuatro artículos que informaron, en general, sobre la efectividad de las intervenciones psicológicas para disminuir los síntomas de insomnio durante la infancia y adolescencia, tanto a corto como a largo plazo. Las revisiones incluidas fueron calificadas con una calidad metodológica baja, lo que debilita la evidencia de los resultados reportados. Se encontró que actualmente la Terapia Cognitivo Conductual es la intervención psicológica más basada en la evidencia y la más efectiva, independientemente del formato de tratamiento. Se necesitan realizar más ensayos clínicos aleatorios de alta calidad
