Abstract
En 中文
The Parent Support Team (PST) is an intensive early intervention home visiting programme delivered by child and family health nurses to families with infants aged 0–6 months experiencing psychosocial and health vulnerabilities. In contrast, mainstream services provide universal clinic-based care and scheduled developmental checks. This mixed-methods study aimed to: (1) describe demographic and psychosocial characteristics, service activity and well-baby check attendance among PST clients compared with mainstream service clients; (2) evaluate changes in maternal depressive symptoms following PST engagement; and (3) explore client experiences, including perceived outcomes and facilitators and barriers to change.
