Abstract

We synthesise perinatal mental health (PMH) evidence and provide recommendations for future research and practices in Pakistan. The burden is significantly higher relative to many other countries, with adverse effects on women and children. Few locally developed interventions involving non-specialists have shown promise, but integrating these into maternal and child health services (MCH) at scale remains a challenge. We recommend broadening the scope of PMH research in accordance with the World Health Organization's stepped care model, and advancing the use of implementation science, digital technology and exploring low-cost models. Programmes and policies should prioritise incorporating PMH into MCH services in health planning and budgeting.

将围产期心理健康纳入妇幼保健服务:巴基斯坦研究和实践的进展和优先事项。
我们综合围产期心理健康(PMH)证据,并为巴基斯坦未来的研究和实践提供建议。与许多其他国家相比,这个负担要高得多,对妇女和儿童产生不利影响。由非专业人员参与的地方开发的干预措施很少显示出希望,但将这些干预措施大规模纳入妇幼保健服务(MCH)仍然是一项挑战。我们建议根据世界卫生组织的阶梯式护理模式扩大PMH研究的范围,推进实施科学、数字技术的使用,并探索低成本模式。方案和政策应优先考虑将母婴保健纳入保健规划和预算编制中的妇幼保健服务。
