STEP-COVID: a pilot study of a prenatal intervention for pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic

Nicolas Berthelot, Julia Garon-Bissonnette, Christine Drouin-Maziade, Vanessa Bergeron, Thibaut Series

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of an online mentalization-based prenatal group program, STEP-COVID, on psychological distress in pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed a significant decrease in distress and post-traumatic symptoms, and an increase in positive affectivity in the intervention group, compared to the control group where only post-traumatic symptoms improved. Women in the intervention group also reported greater changes in resilience-promoting factors during pregnancy. These findings suggest that brief online interventions like STEP-COVID can help mitigate the impact of the pandemic on the mental health of pregnant women.
