INFECTIOUS DISEASE
The effect of our ISP was evaluated to significantly increase the levels of MSE, social support, and to alleviate PPD symptoms for Chinese first-time mothers after childbirth during the infectious disease outbreak. This research is unique in its contribution to the new online intervention to support primiparous women on parenting and mental health outcomes. As an effective and easily accessible intervention, ISP could become a significant source for health professionals to support primiparous women on parenting outcomes and mental wellbeing in the postpartum period especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
