The role of an advanced practice midwife in perinatal mental health: Outlining the process of role development and implementation.
Article in European journal of midwifery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionPerinatal mental health disorders (PMDs) are a global health concern. In industrialized countries, the prevalence of PMDs is estimated to be 20%, and they are associated with serious negative effects for women, their children and their families, along with high societal costs related to long-term impacts. In Switzerland, the PMD detection rate during obstetrical healthcare provision is very low (1-3%), and specialized healthcare services are limited. This study aimed to develop and implement an advanced practice midwife (APM) role at a Swiss obstetrics and gynecology hospital using the PEPPA framework to provide adequate screening and first-consultation services.
methodsThe study uses a qualitative approach and follows the research stages using the 8-step from the participatory, evidence-based, patient-focused process for advanced practice nursing role development, implementation and evaluation (PEPPA) framework to develop and implement the APM role.
resultsUtilizing the PEPPA framework, we were able to develop, implement, and evaluate the APM role in the field of perinatal mental health. Through appropriate screening and first-consultation services, we were able to identify affected women early and facilitate treatment.
conclusionsIn addition to stakeholder engagement and interprofessional collaboration, PEPPA serves as a beneficial framework for the process of role development, implementation, and evaluation in the midwifery profession. This study aims to assist midwives with Master's degrees in establishing corresponding roles within their practice areas, thereby enhancing care delivery. Furthermore, the current APM approach is intended to be continuously evaluated to gain new insights into its effectiveness.
