- 소개/요약Children of mothers with depression have elevated rates of healthcare utilization compared to children of non-depressed mothers [1]. Mindfulness-based interventions are associated with lower use of healthcare services among adults [2] and decreased maternal depression during the perinatal period [3]. No research has explored the potential moderating role of mindfulness-based treatment on the positive relation between maternal depression and offspring healthcare utilization. We hypothesized that a prenatal mindfulness intervention would attenuate the relation between maternal depressive symptoms and infant healthcare utilization during the first year of life. In summary, the present study found an attenuation of the higher rates of infant healthcare utilization among a high-risk sample of women with moderate depression after participation in a prenatal mindfulness-based intervention. Incorporating screening and referral of maternal mental health problems into obstetric and pediatric healthcare settings may contribute to wide-ranging benefits for mothers, infants, and resource utilization.
