In this study, we aimed to examine whether biomarkers taken during the perinatal period can predict a risk of PPD, in addition to subjective scale scores. A longitudinal survey of 24 mothers was conducted at 6 and 9 months of gestation (T1&T2) and 1 month postpartum (T3). Psychological state was measured by EPDS, GHQ, and CES-D. Sleep quality, which has a profound influence on postpartum psychological state, was measured by PSQI. Values of 10 biomarkers was measured: blood cortisol, adrenaline, noradrenaline, dopamine, IgA, urinary free cortisol, adrenaline, noradrenaline, dopamine, and breast milk IgA. Correlation was analyzed between psychological scale scores and biomarker values at each time point in the survey. The result showed moderately significant correlations between EPDS scores at T3 and urinary dopamine at T3 (r=0.53, p=0.024), and between GHQ scores at T3 and breast milk IgA at T3 (r=-0.61, p=0.020). Some moderately significant correlations between biomarkers in different time points were found, which were seen between blood adrenaline at T2 and urinary adrenaline at T3 (r=0.52, p=0.034), and between urinary cortisol at T2 and urinary noradrenaline at T3 (r=0.55, p=0.023). These findings demonstrated that autonomic nervous system biomarkers and IgA in breast milk reflects mothers’ psychological state, which coul d be a tool to predict PPD. Furthermore, it was suggested that biomarkers at 9 months of gestation could detect PPD indirectly, by predicting the value of biomarkers at 1 month postpartum.","PeriodicalId":52139,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Community Based Nursing and Midwifery","volume":"323 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76298215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite their importance, in some settings neither EBP nor CT is taught assessed or implemented. This scoping review examined literature related to teaching, learning, assessment and implementation of EBP and application of CT by nursing students and graduates. Arksey and O’Malley framework was used to conduct the scoping review. PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE and Joanna Briggs Institute for EBP data bases were searched for studies conducted between 2000 and 2020. Inclusion criteria were adapted from the -Population, Intervention, Professionals and Patients, Outcomes, Health Care settings (PIPOH) framework. Search terms included; evidence based practice, nursing education, nursing practice, critical thinking, methods, barriers, facilitators to teaching, learning, assessing and implementing EBP and CT. A total of 2,303 articles were retried, eventually 37 met the inclusion criteria. Use of non-traditional instructional methods for teaching EBP and CT were documented including Problem Based Learning, concept mapping, simulation, think aloud, critical incidence technique, debates and role-plays, reflective journaling, article analysis, nursing journal clubs and multidisciplinary clinical rounds. Validated tools for assessing EBP and CT Skills included; California Critical Thinking Skills Test, Upton and Upton 2006 EBP questionnaire and Yoon’s 2004 Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory. Teaching, assessing EBP and applying CT skills is challenging. Therefore innovative teaching methods are required to promote learning while successful implementation require strategies to minimize detractors and sustain enablers of the process.","PeriodicalId":52139,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Community Based Nursing and Midwifery","volume":"124 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89162292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, by summarizing literature from the past five years, this study aimed to clarify the current progress of research on the usefulness of oxytocin as a biomarker for postpartum depression; it also aimed to discuss the prospects for future research based on these findings. Literature published from 2016 to 2020 that examined the relationship among postpartum psychological state, postpartum depression, and oxytocin using the Medical Journal Web and PubMed for local and international literature were reviewed respectively. The search was conducted using the following keywords: “oxytocin,” “postpartum,” “depression,” “anxiety,” “mentality,” “sensation” and “psychology.” Furthermore, research articles (original papers and research reports) were the main focus of the search. Seven articles were extracted from the search. All of them reported an association between oxytocin and maternal psychological state. However, the views among them differed, and studies on the usefulness of oxytocin as a biomarker of postpartum depression were limited. Although various methods have been utilized to measure oxytocin, this study highlights the need for more consistent research methods, accounting for individual differences and factors that may influence oxytocin levels, to ensure accurate oxytocin measurement.
