Overview

Feasibility study evaluates an online intervention to improve mother-infant bonding in postpartum risk conditions, indicating potential benefits.

Key Points

  • This study aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a brief online mentalization-based video-feedback intervention for mothers at risk postnatally.
  • Single-arm feasibility study with 48 mothers across two risk groups; Risk Group 1: mothers with significant anxiety/depression; Risk Group 2: mothers of preterm infants.
  • Intervention includes 8 + 2 online sessions over approximately 5 months, focusing on reflective meaning-making during caregiving interactions.
  • Assessments are done at baseline (T0, infant age ~3 months), post-intervention (T1, ~8 months), and follow-up (T2, ~12 months).
  • The primary outcomes include recruitment/referral metrics, uptake, retention, assessment completion, and participant-reported acceptability.
  • Secondary outcomes investigate changes in maternal reflective functioning, parenting stress, social support, and mother-infant attachment, evaluated through validated questionnaires.
  • Preliminary trajectories of change will be examined descriptively and exploratorily, informing future controlled trials.
