This collaborative project is led by Murrumbidgee LHD and was in partnership with CSU, Western NSW Local Health District and the Parent-Infant Research Institute, University of Melbourne. It is an implementation research study for delivering an online treatment program for Postnatal Depression and Anxiety (PNDA). https://www.nswruralhealthresearch.org.au/translational-research-grant-scheme/round-three/ehealth-model-of-care-pnda
The MumMoodBooster (MMB) program is a new internet cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) program which has been developed to treat isolated new mothers experiencing mild to moderate depression and anxiety.
The aim of this project is to explore key barriers and facilitators to accessing the online MMB program for isolated and hard to reach women in areas of regional, rural and remote NSW.
The study involved clinicians at various rural and remote locations within the health districts, who were guided through using and supporting clients using MMB, and focus groups and interviews to help answer questions about uptake and identify the facilitators and barriers to accessing and using the program.
The project is conducted within the Murrumbidgee (Narrandera, Deniliquin & Wagga Wagga) and Western NSW (Parkes, Forbes, Bathurst) Local Health Districts.
