Purpose.
The present surveillance study examined predictors of the management of maternal depression in primary care settings.
Methods.
A total of 217 physicians completed a 60-item survey assessing demographics, physicians' attitudes, beliefs, efficacy, current practices, and perceived barriers regarding the management of maternal depression.
Structural equation modeling was used to estimate a model that examined the relationships among physicians' knowledge, beliefs, self-efficacy, perceived barriers, past training toward and current management practices for maternal depression.
Results.
In a model predicting physician depression management practices, a good overall fit was observed (χ2=136.63, CFI=.97, TLI=.95, RMSEA=.05), with physician comfort with, confidence in, and perceived responsibility for managing maternal depression all having prominent positive associations.
Conclusions.
These findings will guide the development of future multifaceted intervention strategies to enhance physician skills in managing maternal depression in primary care settings.
