This article, published in Midwifery, offers insight and understanding on the perspectives of partners of mothers who experience postnatal mental distress. It is a systematic review and qualitative evidence synthesis by Jill Atkinson (PhD student), Dr Valerie Smith, Ms Margaret Carroll, Mr Greg Sheaf and Professor Agnes Higgins. It found that partners lacked knowledge on how to identify postnatal mental distress and how to access help. The distress impacted on their relationship with the mother and baby, their health and raised questions about disclosure.
