Many studies emphasize the problems that women experience during pregnancy or after childbirth, also focusing on mental health problems. In this context, the attention towards the woman, both during pregnancy and afterbirth, should be very great, especially from the health professionals. The paper aims to explore the perception of students enrolled in the professional master’s study program in Health Psychology at \"Luigj Gurakuqi\" University, Shkodër, Albania regarding their knowledge of perinatal mental health problems, and their ability to identify and managing these problems. Nursing students have high levels of awareness related to perinatal mental health issues. Their perceptions of their knowledge regarding perinatal mental health issues, as well as their confidence in identifying and in managing them, is positive. Students believe that they have the appropriate skills to assess and care for women with mental health problems, both during pregnancy and after, but, also, they need further training to improve their skills. It is necessary to carry out more extensive studies on this topic in our country to shed light on the Albanian reality. Also, it is necessary to revise the curricula, especially in general nursing education program, and to provide training for nurses on the problems of perinatal mental health issues.  \nKeywords: perinatal mental health, awareness issues, curricula revision  \nIntroduction  \nThe perinatal period, including pregnancy through childbirth and the first year postpartum, is a time of high vulnerability for mental health (Bottemanne et al., 2022).  \nMany women experience changes in their mental health during pregnancy and during the year after the birth. 1 in 5 women will experience a mental health condition during pregnancy or in the year after the birth (WHO, 2022) .  \nWorldwide about 10% of pregnant women and 13% of women who have just given birth experience a mental disorder, primarily depression. In developing countries this is even higher, i.e., 15.6% during pregnancy and 19.8% after childbirth. In severe cases mothers’ suffering might be so severe that they may even commit suicide (WHO, 2024) .  \nHigh-quality perinatal mental health care ideally results in earlier detection of mental health problems, improved parent-child interaction, optimal treatment of perinatal mental illness and fewer hospital admissions, and also has clear economic benefits (HTA, 2022) .  \n􀀍Lecturer, University “Luigj Gurakuqi”, Albania.  \n􀁲Lecturer, University “Luigj Gurakuqi”, Albania.  \nAs Howard and Khalifeh (2020) cited, there is a large evidence base on associations between perinatal mental disorders and childhood adverse mental health outcomes, particularly for perinatal depression and antenatal alcohol misuse.  \nTherefore, it is very important that mental health problems during the perinatal period to be managed properly and accurately. The perinatal health professionals as well as nurses have a great role.  \nNursing is both an art and a science. It requires the understanding and the application in practice of specific nursing knowledge and skills, which, wherever possible, are research-and/or evidence-based. It draws on knowledge and techniques derived from the humanities, from the physical, biological and behavioural sciences, from management and leadership theories and from theories of education (WHO, 2001) .  \nAll women and newborns have a right to a quality ofcare that enables a positive childbirth experience that includes respect and dignity, a companion of choice, clear communication by maternity staff, pain relief strategies, mobility in labour and birth position of choice. Midwives are essential to the provision of quality of care, in all settings, globally (WHO, 2024) .  \nConsidering the literatur","cbCaiaCYiMRwbGTg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaCYiMRwbGTg","pdf",359750,"English","# Introduction\n# Theoretical Approach","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the paper?\",\"answer\":\"The paper explores nursing students’ perceptions regarding their knowledge of perinatal mental health problems and their ability to identify and manage these issues.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the paper say about nursing students’ awareness and confidence?\",\"answer\":\"Nursing students show high awareness of perinatal mental health issues, and their perceptions of knowledge and confidence in identifying and managing these problems are positive.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the paper argue that additional training is needed?\",\"answer\":\"Students believe they have appropriate skills to assess and care for women, but they also need further training to improve those skills.\"}]","Nursing Students’ Perceptions about Perinatal Mental Health Issues | PDF"]
