Abstract

Women with mental health problems during the perinatal period need support with parenthood. Guidance from professionals providing the paediatric nursing care must favour the baby's development, but also help the mother assume her role and support the establishment of the mother-baby bond. Mediation when providing paediatric nursing care is a means of supporting parenthood.

Keywords: depression; dépression; lien mère-bébé; mental health problem; mother-baby bond; parentalité; parenthood; trouble psychiatrique.
