Abstract: To ascertain whether a new framework examining midwifery practice in perinatal mental health (PMH) is supported by the research literature. The identification and care of women with PMH problems is increasingly considered part of midwifery practice. Research suggests that many midwives lack knowledge, skills and confidence. It would be useful to be able to determine barriers and facilitators to effective clinical practice. The authors propose a framework comprising five potentially measurable domains which have an impact on midwives' ability to identify, assess and care for women with PMH problems. This mixed-methods review uses an innovative qualitative convergent design based on framework synthesis. Relevant electronic databases were searched for the period from January 2007-December 2016 33 studies from nine countries met the inclusion criteria. Study quality was assessed using critical appraisal tools. Study findings were mapped onto the five domains of the framework: knowledge, confidence, attitudes, illness perception and infrastructure. Findings were then synthesized for each domain. All five domains are substantially represented in the literature, thus supporting the proposed framework. Several sub-domains and relationships between domains were identified. Varying levels of knowledge, confidence, attitudes and illness perceptions were found evidence suggests that midwives benefit from further training within these domains. Features of organizational infrastructure act as barriers or facilitators to effective care these need to be addressed at organizational level. The proposed framework was confirmed and can be used to inform practice, policy and research.

Abstract: The transition to parenthood lays the foundations for the parent-infant relationship, but can also be a time of increased vulnerability. It can therefore be a suitable time for interventions to increase parents' emotional wellbeing and support couple relationships as well as the relationship with the baby. This study aimed to explore the experiences of attendees at an antenatal nurturing programme and its effect on their experiences of the early postnatal period. A total of 36 attendees took part in six focus groups across the UK. Participants' experiences of the programme were very positive it provided knowledge and skills and gave participants a safe space in which to explore feelings and concerns. The programme encouraged participants to nurture themselves, as well as their babies and their relationships. Some groups formed strong support networks, while others did not. Participants felt they had benefitted from the programme, particularly in terms of their emotional wellbeing and couple relationships.

Abstract: Perinatal well-being has increasingly become the focus of research, clinical practice and policy. However, attention has mostly been on a reductionist understanding of well-being based on a mind-body duality. Conceptual clarity around what constitutes well-being beyond this is lacking. To systematically review theoretical discussions of perinatal well-being in the academic literature. A search of online databases identified papers which discussed perinatal well-being theoretically, taking a multi-dimensional approach to well-being. Thematic synthesis was used to identify and synthesize relevant elements within the included papers. Eight papers were identified for inclusion in this review. All contributed a number of elements towards a theoretical discussion of perinatal well-being. Three themes were developed: (1) the importance of a number of general domains of women's lives and domains specific to the perinatal period, (2) well-being as a subjective and in idual experience with physical/embodied, affective, and psychological/cognitive aspects, and (3) the dynamic nature of well-being. Perinatal well-being is a complex, multi-dimensional construct. Current theoretical discussions in the academic literature do not provide a comprehensive model or conceptualisation covering all aspects of well-being during the perinatal period. Further theoretical work is required, particularly with regards to theorising well-being during labour and birth, the perinatal period as a continuum, and the role played by women's expectations. The themes identified in this review contribute to a tentative model of perinatal well-being, taking note particularly of the dynamic nature of well-being. This model should be refined and validated through empirical work and can then be used to underpin further research and the development of a multi-dimensional measure of perinatal well-being.
