VID-KIDS Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether a nurse-guided video feedback intervention can improve mother-infant interactions in the context of postpartum depression, and in turn, improve infant cortisol patterns and development.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for mothers with postpartum depression, indicated by a score greater than 12 on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, and who have infants aged 2-6 months. Mothers taking antidepressants or undergoing other PPD treatments can join, but not those receiving certain other parenting services.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The VID-KIDS program aims to improve interactions between depressed mothers and their infants. It uses nurse-guided video feedback to enhance mother-infant exchanges which are crucial for healthy child development and may reduce stress hormone effects in infants.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves behavioral guidance rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort or distress during the process of reflecting on their interactions.

VID-KIDS Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: VID-KIDS Intervention Program GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
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.
