A graduate research project at UPEI’s faculty of nursing is seeking participants for a study about postpartum depression.
The project will interview fathers whose partners experienced postpartum depression.
It is hoped that the knowledge gained will help the researcher and others to better understand the fathers’ experience and determine ways to best help future fathers.
The project is seeking up to eight fathers who are at least 18 years of age and are currently living (or previously lived) with a female partner who was diagnosed with postpartum depression after a typical (no trauma) birth.
Participants will be interviewed for about an hour about their experiences.
All identities will be kept confidential.
This project is led by master of nursing student Juliana Barry, under the supervision of Gloria McInnis-Perry, Janet Bryanton and Janis MacLellan-Peters.
