Plain-language summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to prevent postpartum depression in pregnant women. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the Psychological Empowerment program prevent postpartum depression at 6 weeks after delivery? 2. Does the Psychological Empowerment program improve self-control of the postpartum women at 6 weeks after delivery? 3. Does the Psychological Empowerment program improve the self-efficacy of postpartum women at 6 weeks after delivery? 4. Does the Psychological Empowerment program provide a tendency to have adaptive coping strategies in women 6 weeks after delivery? Researchers will compare the intervention group to a control group with no intervention (routine care) to see if the psychological empowerment program can prevent postpartum depression at 6 weeks after delivery. Participants in the intervention group will : * receive 5 sessions in 3 weeks ( 2 sessions per week) * get follow-up at 2 weeks and 6 weeks after delivery

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
