Assignment Details-TEAM AREA GROUP 2
Group Project Ideas from a Classmate
Hello everyone! I am looking forward to working with everyone on the group project. I have attached the grading rubric to accompany the assignment. Im not seeing a slide count or directions for format, so I am all ears from someone more creative than I am!
Looking over the case study and rubric, it looks like there are some main points to touch on:
- summary of the case study
- poster development (through powerpoint?)
- literature review
There is five of us, so if anyone else sees another aspect of the project that can be done, it would help even out the work. I will handle the summary of the case study and post a draft here later.
The main topic question: What were women’s experiences of seeking care after referral from public health nurse for probable post-partum depression, including responses to being referred, specific factors that hindered or facilitated care seeking, experiences seeking care, and responses to interventions offered?
P= 18 new mothers who are part of the Healthy Babies, Healthy Children initiative who agreed to home visits
I= 2 research assistants, semi structured telephone interviews, 4 weeks after screening or PPD with Edinburgh postnatal Depression scale (EPDS)
Barriers for seeking care: individual- individual symptomatology, health literacy, privacy concerns. Social: symptomatology and decreased health literacy of support group. Health system level: feelings of inadequate treatment, lack of communication and scheduling
Facilitators for seeking care: Self-awareness of symptoms, encouragement of support group, normalizing the condition, outreach/ follow-up
Overarching themes gained from the study can be communication/interpersonal skills, active listening to patient concerns, need for education on symptomatology and treatment plans, healthcare team being aware of signs and symptoms of PPD, coordination of care
