A recent systematic review explored the relationship between resilience and mental health among perinatal women. The review found that depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress were common mental health issues during the perinatal period. However, higher maternal resilience was shown to reduce the risk of these disorders. Resilient women were found to be more resilient during pregnancy than postpartum, with factors like tolerance of uncertainty, positive cognitive appraisal, and strong family support playing key roles. The study emphasizes the importance of building resilience in perinatal women to prevent mental health issues. Healthcare providers are encouraged to promote resilience-boosting strategies, including social support and close family relationships, and offer psychosocial interventions for the woman's partner or companion.
