Title: Efficacy of mindfulness-based interventions on perinatal mood disorders and neonatal outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Authors: Fu, Yinmei (AUTHOR), Wang, Yafang (AUTHOR), Zhu, Zhenhong (AUTHOR), Zhang, Dan (AUTHOR)
Source: Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics & Gynecology. Dec2025, Vol. 46 Issue 1, p1-12. 12p.
Subjects: Perinatal mood & anxiety disorders, Anxiety, Randomized controlled trials, Mindfulness, Psychological stress, Infant health, Mental depression
Abstract: Objective: This meta-analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions on depression, anxiety, stress, mindfulness, and neonatal outcomes in randomized controlled trials. Methods: A systematic search of domestic and international databases was conducted to identify RCTs evaluating mindfulness-based interventions. Outcome measures included the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), and Apgar score. Statistical analysis involved calculating standardized mean differences (SMD) and assessing heterogeneity using I² values. Results: A comprehensive literature search identified 790 articles, from which 9 studies (including 1024 participants) were included. No significant effect was found for depression (EPDS: SMD = −1.63, p > 0.05) or stress (PSS: SMD = −1.92, p > 0.05). Significant improvements were observed in anxiety (SAS: SMD = −0.64, p < 0.05) and neonatal outcomes (Apgar score: SMD = 0.87, p < 0.05). Mindfulness showed no significant difference (FFMQ: SMD = 2.27, p > 0.05). High heterogeneity was observed for most outcomes. Conclusion: Mindfulness-based interventions significantly reduce anxiety and improve neonatal outcomes. However, their effects on depression, stress, and mindfulness require further investigation due to high heterogeneity across studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
