Abstract

Background: Postpartum depression is a public health problem that affects a considerable percentage of women. Despite the proliferation of related apps, there are limited data available on the best apps to prevent postpartum depression. We identified which apps available in Spanish could be recommended by midwives based on their content, quality, and behaviour change techniques, as a complementary tool for preventing postpartum depression in women.

Methods: A systematic search was performed to identify apps available on iOS App Store and Google Play, which were used to replicate how patients' access "postpartum depression prevention" apps. Apps' quality, behaviour change potential, and contents were assessed.

Results: A total of 1408 apps were identified, of which 7 were retrieved for assessment (0.5%). The mean objective and subject quality were 3.1 (SD = 1.01) and 2.7 (SD = 1.27), respectively. A total of 24 topics were identified. The mean ABACUS score was 6.6 (SD = 3.64), and the mean number of topics addressed by the apps was 9.9 (SD = 5.90).

Conclusion: The results of the present study suggest that a specific free app is not available in Spanish for the prevention of postpartum depression, and only a small percentage of free apps should be recommended based on their quality, BCTs, and contents. The systematic review protocol was not registered.

助产士推荐的产后抑郁应用程序的内容、行为改变技术和质量：系统搜索与评估

背景：产后抑郁症是一个公共卫生问题，影响着相当大比例的妇女。尽管相关应用程序层出不穷，但关于预防产后抑郁症的最佳应用程序的数据却很有限。我们根据应用程序的内容、质量和行为改变技巧，确定了助产士可以推荐哪些西班牙文应用程序作为预防妇女产后抑郁症的辅助工具：方法：通过系统搜索，确定了 iOS App Store 和 Google Play 上提供的应用程序，并复制了患者访问 "预防产后抑郁 "应用程序的方式。对应用程序的质量、改变行为的潜力和内容进行了评估：结果：共发现了 1408 个应用程序，其中 7 个被检索用于评估（0.5%）。客观质量和主体质量的平均值分别为 3.1 (SD = 1.01) 和 2.7 (SD = 1.27)。共确定了 24 个主题。ABACUS的平均得分为6.6（SD = 3.64），应用程序所涉及主题的平均数量为9.9（SD = 5.90）：本研究结果表明，西班牙文中没有专门用于预防产后抑郁症的免费应用程序，根据其质量、BCT 和内容，仅有一小部分免费应用程序值得推荐。系统综述协议未注册。
