Background summary
This study focuses on the effectiveness of Online Communities, a 3-session intervention for pregnant women and women that have given birth to their baby in the past month, who experience stress because of the COVID-19 crisis. This preventive project has started on the initiative of psychologists and midwifes. Midwives refer participants to the intervention, and the aim of the intervention is to decrease symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression, to receive scientific information about COVID-19, and exchange experiences in the group. The study had three measurement occasions (pretest, posttest, follow-up) and makes use of online questionnaires. The aim of the study is to examine the acceptability and effectiveness of the intervention on maternal symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression and maternal bonding with the (unborn) child, and to study whether improvement between pretest and posttest are predictive of parental self-efficacy 6 months after the intervention.
