Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose is to develop an intervention program utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy for pregnant women at risk of anxiety disorder, and to examine the effect size of each outcome, the appropriateness and feasibility of the intervention program, etc. in a pilot randomized controlled trial. In addition, the extent to which anxiety in the first month after childbirth is affected by the presence or absence of programs that utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, age, support status, history of pregnancy, etc. will be explored.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

The change in GAD-7 score is calculated as the difference between the two groups in the change in anxiety one month after delivery.

Key secondary outcomes

Changes in GAD7 score before and after the program. Changes in K6 score from before the program to one month after delivery. Degree of EPDS at 1 month postpartum. Degree of self-efficacy regarding childcare one month after delivery. Changes in self-efficacy related to cognitive behavioral therapy.

Interventions/Control_1

Pregnant women in the intervention group will receive a total of three sessions after 22 weeks of gestation and throughout the gestation period, according to the pamphlet. The content of the sessions will be on understanding mental health in the perinatal period, how emotions work, and how to solve problems using cognitive-behavioral therapy.
The second session will be a brainstorming session on baby crying and feeding, using illustrations to brainstorm ideas for patterns that change ideas and patterns that change behavior.
The third session will be conducted in the same way as the second session. The content of the session will be to brainstorm ideas for patterns of changing ideas and patterns of changing behavior based on the illustrations regarding human relationships during child-rearing.
Follow-up emails will be sent two weeks after the session, one week after the delivery date, two weeks after the delivery date, and three weeks after the delivery date.

Results

The change in GAD-7 scores from prenatal to one month postpartum averaged -1.77 for the intervention group and -0.97 for the control group, with a p-value of .521, with no significant difference between the two groups, although the intervention group showed a greater decrease.

In particular, primiparas showed a greater change in GAD-7 scores in the intervention group, and some expressed a desire for postpartum sessions, suggesting that additional postpartum follow-up sessions would be beneficial.

Baseline Characteristics

The mean number of weeks of pregnancy at recruitment was 29 weeks for both groups.

The mean age was 32.1 years in the intervention group (SD = 3.11) and 34.1 years in the control group (SD = 4.33), with 15 (45.5%) first-time mothers in the intervention group and 14 (46.7%) in the control group.

Participant flow

A target of 60 participants was recruited, and 63 participants who met the final inclusion criteria consented to participate in the study.
Sixty-three women who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to receive the program or to a control group. Sixty-three women were randomly assigned to two groups, an intervention group and a control group, with stratified block random assignment of first-time mothers and transient mothers.
Thirty-three women were assigned to the intervention group, one of whom was hospitalized for preterm labor and dropped out, and the remaining 32 women responded to a questionnaire at 1 month postpartum (97% follow-up). The control group consisted of 30 women, one of whom dropped out due to preterm labor, and the remaining 29 women responded to the 1-month postpartum questionnaire (follow-up rate: 97%). The remaining 29 women responded to the questionnaire up to 1 month postpartum (follow-up rate: 96.7%). In the end, 32 women in the intervention group and 29 women in the control group were included in the analysis.
The remaining 29 women responded to the questionnaire up to 1 month postpartum (follow-up rate: 96.7%).

Adverse events

There was no adverse event.

Outcome measures

Primary Outcome:
Change in anxiety level from pre-intervention to 1 month postpartum (GAD-7)

Secondary Outcome:
1) Change in anxiety before and after the program (GAD-7)
2) Change in depression and anxiety from pre-program to 1 month postpartum (K6)
3) Level of postpartum depression risk at 1 month postpartum (EPDS)
4) Change in self-efficacy for CBT response: A self-efficacy evaluation chart for CBT response in the perinatal period was developed independently.
5) Program satisfaction (CSQ-8J)
