The aim is to develop, test and evaluate an educational intervention with the purpose to strengthen Child Health Services (CHS) Nurses clinical competence in detecting signs of postpartum depression in non-native-speaking immigrant mothers. The pilot study has a pre-post experimental design. Data are collected before and after the intervention. The differences in the values of the collected data are used to estimate the effect of the intervention.
To be eligible for the study the CHS nurse must perform screening of immigrant mothers for postpartum depression with help of an interpreter according to the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) method more than three times a year. The EPDS is a likert form scale with ten statements and is used in combination with a Clinical interview.
Approximately 40-45 CHS nurses will be enrolled in the pilot study. The number of nurses are calculated in comparison to two other published studies within the same context. The instruments Clinical Cultural Competence Training Questionnaire (CCCTQ) and General Self-Efficacy scale (GSE) will be used as primary outcomes measures. Data are collected before the first education day and after the second education day. Secondary outcomes are also collected in connection to the educational intervention and consists of reported yearly statistics; how many mothers were are offered screening, participated in screening, number of screenings preformed with help og an interpreter and number of mothers offered follow-up after participating in screening.
528 studies on the registry are indexed under Depression, Postpartum; 124 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 40 is below the median of 105 across 425 interventional studies indexed under Depression, Postpartum.

Clinical Cultural Competence Training Questionnaire
measures change in the participants experienced cultural competence. Consist of 8 items. Responses are made on a 4-pointscale.The mean score is calculated by adding up the sum of all answers (range 8-32) and dividing it by 8. The higher score the better outcome.
Time frame: the questionnaire are given before and directly after the educational intervention
General Self Efficacy scale
measures change in the participants confidence in their own ability. Consist of 10 items. Responses are made on a 4-pointscale.The mean score is calculated by adding up the sum of all answers (range 10-40) and dividing it by 10. The higher score the better outcome.
