Researchers are evaluating a digital cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program combined with telephone coaching to address depressive symptoms during pregnancy. This randomized controlled trial compares the guided digitalized treatment program to a control group receiving digital education material about depression. The study focuses on pregnant women experiencing antenatal depression, aiming to assess the effectiveness of these digital interventions in improving mental health. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives weekly internet-based CBT sessions with telephone coaching, while the other group is provided with psychoeducational digital materials about depression. The treatment period lasts 11 weeks after randomization, during which participants engage with their assigned interventions remotely. Throughout the study, participants will be assessed using several mental health questionnaires including the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), General Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7), Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II), Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN), Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire-Revised (PRAQ), and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). These assessments occur at the start of the study and 11 weeks later to measure changes in symptoms. The research team monitors participant progress and collects data to evaluate the interventions' impact on antenatal depression and related anxiety and stress symptoms.
