520 $a This researcher employed both qualitative and quantitative approaches in order to draw from the experiences of both the participants and their health care providers. Its purpose was to identify the barriers to mental health care encountered by depressed minority women during pregnancy and postpartum.
520 $a The phenomenological approach included case studies and focus group. Eleven participants and four physicians agreed to be interviewed. Open-ended questions to the interviews were asked, and richly descriptive answers were obtained from each participant. Colaizzi's Seven-Step model was used in the data analysis of the qualitative portion of the study. The quantitative portion of the study revealed the demographics of the participants and providers, as well as the results of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) depression scale and of the cultural competence survey of the providers.
520 $a The results of the study have implications for social change. The study provided useful insights to the barriers that minority women face in health care, and in this way promoted the empowerment of minority women, by encouraging them to seek help for depression. The lack of the physicians' understanding in working with minority patients needs to be addressed. The results also pointed toward the need for changes in the current health care practices of primary care providers including obstetricians. Changes might include depression screening for minority patients during pregnancy and postpartum. The screening would provide a valuable tool to diagnose and treat depression in these populations in which many symptoms of depression are masked as common medical complaints.
520 $a In addition to educating primary care physicians to recognize depressive symptoms in their minority patients, this study may serve to encourage minority specialists to enter the health care field, where their understanding of cultural matters may be of great benefits. These are both obvious social significances to one of the chief barriers facing minority mothers and mothers-to-be seeking mental health care, being the failure of health care providers to bridge the culture gap. This study having examined the problem from both sides of the gap, progress is more likely.
