Barriers to accessing mental health services for women with perinatal mental illness: systematic review and meta-synthesis of qualitative studies in the UK
Get PDFObjective Lack of access to mental health services during the perinatal period is a significant public health concern in the UK. Barriers to accessing services may occur at multiple points in the care pathway. However, no previous reviews have investigated multilevel system barriers or how they might interact to prevent women from accessing services. This review examines women, their family members’ and healthcare providers’ perspectives of barriers to accessing mental health services for women with perinatal mental illness in the UK.Design A systematic review and meta-synthesis of qualitative studies.Data sources Qualitative studies, published between January 2007 and September 2018, were identified in MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE and CINAHL electronic databases, handsearching of reference lists and citation tracking of included studies. Papers eligible for inclusion were conducted in the UK, used qualitative methods and were focused on women, family or healthcare providers working with/or at risk of perinatal mental health conditions. Quality assessment was conducted using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme for qualitative studies.Results Of 9882 papers identified, 35 studies met the inclusion criteria. Reporting of emergent themes was informed by an existing multilevel conceptual model. Barriers to accessing mental health services for women with perinatal mental illness were identified at four levels: Individual (eg, stigma, poor awareness), organisational (eg, resource inadequacies, service fragmentation), sociocultural (eg, language/cultural barriers) and structural (eg, unclear policy) levels.Conclusions Complex, interlinking, multilevel barriers to accessing mental health services for women with perinatal mental illness exist. To improve access to mental healthcare for women with perinatal mental illness multilevel strategies are recommended which address individual, organisational, sociocultural and structural-level barriers at different stages of the care pathway

The effect of lifestyle intervention and depression symptoms on binge eating and relation of binge eating to gestational weight gain and child birth weight in the UPBEAT cohort of pregnant women living with obesity
No full textBinge eating is one of the most prevalent eating disorder behaviours in pregnancy, its risk factors and association with pregnancy-related outcomes has sparsely researched in this population. This study aimed to investigate: (hypothesis 1) the effectiveness of a lifestyle intervention in reducing binge eating; (hypothesis 2) the association between depressive symptoms and binge eating behaviours throughout the perinatal period; and (hypothesis 3) the association between binge eating, gestational weight gain and birthweight in a cohort of pregnant women with obesity. This is a planned secondary analysis of the UK Pregnancies Better Eating and Activity Trial (UPBEAT) randomized controlled trial. Exposures were trial arms (hypothesis 1); depressive symptoms (hypothesis 2); and number of weekly binge eating episodes and binge eating behaviours (hypothesis 3). Outcomes were number of weekly binge eating episodes and binge eating behaviours and cognitions (hypotheses 1 and 2), gestational weight gain and child's birthweight (hypothesis 3). There was no evidence that the UPBEAT intervention was effective in reducing number of weekly binge eating behaviours (IRR .942; 95%CI .756, 1.174) or binge eating behaviours (IRR 1.005; 95%CI .861, 1.174). Increased levels of depressive symptoms were associated with a higher number of binge eating behaviours (IRR 1.031; 95%CI 1.015, 1.048) and its associated features (IRR 1.030; 95%CI 1.019, 1.041). There was evidence that more frequent binge eating behaviours lead to greater increase in gestational weight gain. (coefficient = .614; 95%CI .264, .964). There is a need for holistic interventions that promote maternal mental health and address binge eating behaviours. More work is required in the field to understand which interventions would prove efficacious.</p
