Doulas, mothers, and cell phones: Storytelling and a supportive doula approach for mothers at risk for postpartum depression

Doulas, mothers, and cell phones: Storytelling and a supportive doula approach for mothers at risk for postpartum depression

Moldenhauer, Judith A. ; McComish, Judith Fry ; Groh, Carla J. ;

Artigo Completo:

Postpartum depression (PPD) affects approximately 10-15% of women worldwide. Postpartum doulas provide mothers and their families with non-medical emotional and practical support through the post-birth (postpartum) period. This paper discusses the importance of storytelling in the design and use of a cell phone application developed in the USA for postpartum doulas to help mothers identify PPD symptoms, break their sense of isolation, and get help. This paper then explores how the use of this cell phone app, with its focus on storytelling, could be adapted for use with women in developing countries.
