Video-Feedback Interaction Guidance for Postpartum Depression
(VID-KIDS Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to determine if a program called VID-KIDS can improve interactions between mothers with postpartum depression (PPD) and their infants. PPD can hinder mothers from connecting with their babies, potentially affecting the baby's brain development and stress levels. The trial compares usual care with the VID-KIDS program, where nurses provide video feedback to help mothers respond more effectively to their babies. Mothers diagnosed with PPD who have infants aged 2-6 months may be suitable for this study. As an unphased trial, this study offers a unique opportunity for mothers to explore new ways to enhance their connection with their infants.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not require you to stop taking your current medications, including anti-depressants or other interventions for postpartum depression.
What prior data suggests that the VID-KIDS Intervention Program is safe for mothers and infants?
Research shows that the VID-KIDS program is safe and effective for participants. Studies have found that this program helps mothers with postpartum depression (PPD) interact better with their babies. No health problems have been reported as a result of the program. Instead, mothers who participated reported improved understanding of their babies' needs and increased confidence in supporting their babies' social and emotional development. This suggests that the VID-KIDS program is a safe choice for mothers seeking to enhance interactions with their babies while managing PPD symptoms.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the VID-KIDS Intervention Program for postpartum depression because it offers a unique, interactive approach that focuses on enhancing mother-infant interactions. Unlike standard treatments like medication or traditional therapy, this program uses video feedback to help mothers become more attuned to their babies' cues and needs. By providing real-time feedback and positive reinforcement, this method aims to strengthen the emotional bond between mother and child, potentially improving outcomes for both. This innovative approach could offer a more engaging and supportive experience for mothers, leading to more effective management of postpartum depression.
What evidence suggests that the VID-KIDS Intervention Program is effective for postpartum depression?
Research shows that the VID-KIDS program, which participants in this trial may receive, has promising results for mothers with postpartum depression (PPD). In earlier studies, mothers who joined VID-KIDS improved in understanding their babies' needs and supported their babies' social and emotional growth. The program uses video feedback to teach mothers how to notice and respond to their babies' signals, fostering healthy interactions. Participants reported that the program changed their self-perception and relationships with their children. This suggests that VID-KIDS can positively affect both mother-baby interactions and PPD symptoms.12346

Active Control
RN review photos of infant engagement/disengagement cues. NCAST Teaching Activity, mothers asked to perform task advanced for infant's level, recorded. 1st-View, no feedback, mothers reveal infant cues. RN records infant/mother's response, later discussion. 2nd, RN and mother co-view interaction with time for replay/review parts of sensitivity and responsiveness. RN feedback: praising desired maternal behaviours; information on infant cues; maternal response to infant distress; and use of cognitive growth fostering language. 3rd, all concepts discussed in past views, use positive reinforcement to affirm aspects of sensitivity, useful feedback for areas of growth. Post-Debrief, RN and mother discuss interests of the mother. Mothers encouraged to note infants' engagement/disengagement cues.
Mothers will receive standard care such as referral to psychotherapy (intervention mothers will have the same access) over the same length of time.
