Summary

The HUGS-QUALI study is a qualitative investigation that explores the experiences of mothers who participated in HUGS mother-baby therapy groups. Conducted 6 to 12 months after the intervention, the study aims to understand how this culturally adapted therapy influences the bond between mothers and their infants and affects their daily lives. By collecting detailed personal stories through in-depth interviews, the study seeks to understand if the adapted HUGS program effectively support French mothers in improving their interactions with their babies, when facing postpartum depression.
