Qualitative study identifies barriers affecting perinatal mental health care in UAE, suggesting systemic reforms for better outcomes.
The study identified multi-level barriers and facilitators that shape PMH care delivery in the UAE. Addressing these factors requires a systemic approach, including standardized PMH training, integrated care pathways, clear protocols, and policy reforms for insurance coverage. Leveraging the strengths of the multicultural workforce is essential for developing effective, culturally sensitive PMH services. These findings can guide the development of strategies to support HCPs and improve mental health outcomes for mothers and families.
