Clinical screening is essential to develop appropriate interventions to meet the needs of women and their families. The findings of this review have important implications for decision-making and policy development for continuous professional development programs that promote evidence-based PPD screening.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Inclusion criteria: &lt;/strong&gt;This review considered studies that explore the experiences of health professionals who screen for PPD in any geographic location at any health care facility, scenario, or setting. The review focused on qualitative data, including methods such as phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, action research, and feminist research.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The review followed a 3-step search strategy in line with JBI methodology for systematic reviews of qualitative evidence. The databases searched included PubMed, CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Embase (Elsevier), Scopus, LILACS (BVS), ScienceDirect (Elsevier), PsycINFO (Ovid), Index Psi Journals (BVS-PSI), and PePsic (IPUSP). Unpublished studies were searched for in Google Scholar, Cybertesis, Dart-E, EthOS, and Open Access Theses and Dissertations (OATD).
