Podcasts to beat baby blues: new study tests audio education for new moms
NCT ID NCT07460921
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether listening to short educational podcasts after giving birth can lower the risk of postpartum depression, strengthen the bond between mother and baby, and improve a mother's ability to care for herself. About 110 first-time mothers will be split into two groups: one group will listen to four 5-6 minute podcasts, while the other group will receive standard discharge instructions. Researchers will compare depression scores, attachment levels, and self-care abilities between the groups.
