Abstract

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a common disease in the world, which often results in many social problems. In recent years, many studies have mentioned that social support enhancement can reduce PPD. According to the etiology and treatment methods of postpartum depression and non-clinical intervention, the importance of psychosocial factors is emphasized. Social support is generally considered as an important factor to effectively prevent and reduce postpartum depression. According to the theoretical framework of social support constructed by Leahi-Warren et al. [1], social support is one of the influencing factors that help predict and reduce the risk of postpartum depression. Social support can also indirectly improve maternal parental self-efficiency and effectively reduce the risk of postpartum depression. E-Mental Health (EMH) system is one of the modern effective solutions to psychological problems. It has become a modern social trend to apply electronic mental health service systems to enhance social support. In the past research, Chiou et al. [2] designed a We’ll App through the application of EMH to enhance social support, and then enhance maternal self-efficacy, so as to reduce or solve PPD and postpartum depression. This study will continue to carry out clinical trials through We’llAPP, and EPDS, social-support, self-efficiency questionnaires are used to understand the status of maternal emotional disorders, social support and self-efficacy, and conduct clinical research analysis.
