Salutogenesis and Self-efficacy-based Childbirth Education Programme for Preventing Postpartum Depression

"The intervention framework is underpinned by a converging of salutogenic and self-efficacy perspectives, aiming to enhance mothers' ability to adapt to new motherhood life despite stressors, and to address the question, How do teenage mothers stay well despite stressful events of transition to motherhood? The intervention consists of six sessions: three of which will be provided in the antenatal period and the other three in the postpartum period. The sessions contain two individual face-to-face educations (each lasting 60-90 minutes), two phone calls (each lasting 30 minutes), and two group discussion sessions (each lasting 90-120 minutes), as supported by the existing evidence."

The control group will receive the usual maternity care.
