Description
In postpartum women (P), how does breastfeeding (I) compared with
formula feeding (C) affect postpartum depression (O)? Postpartum depression – research question!
Purpose: To determine if the literature chosen is helpful and applicable to answering a clinical question; information from each must be identified to facilitate appraisal of its usefulness to practice.
Description: Continuing to use the literature found from previous weeks, you will extract critical information from each article for analysis in relation to the clinical question. This will require a careful reading of each article. See the grading rubric embedded in Brightspace.
Instructions:
1. Complete an evidence table row in the attached document for each of the 4 (or 5, if a CPG was found) articles previously located.
2. In the appropriate box, state if the article analyzed is useful to answering the clinical question. Why or why not?
Upload the completed document and pdfs of all 4 or 5 articles to the appropriate submission folder using the following filenames:

Level of Evidence
Reflection on the body of evidence to answer your research question.
The literature I have gathered, as a whole, includes a variety of study types and levels of evidence, thus providing a reasonably
comprehensive view of the topic related to postpartum care services and postpartum depression risk factors. The systematic reviews
(Appleton et al., 2018; Hutchens & Kearney, 2020) are particularly valuable as they compile and analyze multiple studies, offering
high-quality evidence (Level 1). However, it is essential to note that while the literature is relatively comprehensive, it may still have
limitations or gaps. Therefore, the sufficiency of the literature will be addressed by refining search terms and strategies to uncover any
additional relevant studies that may have been missed. I would also consider looking beyond research articles to clinical guidelines,
textbooks, and government health agencies for guidance and additional information.
