Perceptions of the Mamma Mia program, an internet-based prevention strategy for perinatal depression symptoms
Overview
This study evaluates postpartum mothers' perceptions of the Mamma Mia internet-based intervention for perinatal depression symptoms. Participants reported the program was acceptable and useful, citing its guided self-care, mindfulness components, and trustworthiness as key benefits. However, usability challenges emerged in the postpartum period due to time constraints, leading to suggestions for app-based access and partner inclusion.
