Abstract
OBJECTIVE: We examined whether prenatal mindfulness training was associated with lower depressive symptomsthrough 18-months postpartum compared to treatment as usual (TAU). METHOD: A controlled, quasi-experimental trial compared prenatal mindfulness training (MMT) to TAU. We collected depressive symptom data at post-intervention, 6-, and 18-months postpartum. Latent profile analysis identified depressive symptom profiles, and multinomial logistic regression examined whether treatment condition predicted profile. RESULTS: Three depressive symptom severity profiles emerged: none/minimal, mild, and moderate. Adjusting for relevant covariates, MMT participants were less likely than TAU participants to be in the moderate profile than the none/minimal profile (OR = 0.13, 95% CI = 0.03-0.54, p = .005). CONCLUSIONS:Prenatal mindfulness training may have benefits for depressive symptoms during the transition to parenthood.
