This study aims to synthesise the available literature on the phenomenon of infanticide within the context of postpartum psychosis from a novel perspective using critical interpretive synthesis (CIS). The study placed its focus on the environmental aspects involved in the phenomenon of postpartum psychosis where the outcome was infanticide, as well as the chosen method of inflicting death.,CIS is a reviewing method that synthesises existing literature into a coherent frame with the exploration of literature at its core. CIS results in a natural critique of the body of literature and was critical to the study and its findings. The study ultimately found five synthetic constructs related to environmental aspects and method of inflicting death.,These included prior psychiatric history and care, demographics of perpetrators, perceptions on motherhood, profile on victims such as age and the method of death and, finally, the presence of “warning behaviour”. Reflections on the current state of the literature formed an important part of the study and enabled the authors to make recommendations for future research.,The age of the literature acts as a limitation to the study, there is a need for updated to research to inform our current historical context. In addition, most of the included studies was based in developed countries which may impact on generalisability. The aim of he study was not to include an exhaustive body of literature, thus other relevant literature may have not been included. Some included studies did not solely focus on the concept of infanticide within the context of postpartum psychosis. Although efforts were made to ensure rigour, it is accepted that different researchers may come to different conclusion in inherently qualitative means of enquiry such as CIS. These included prior psychiatric history and care, demographics of perpetrators, perceptions on motherhood, profile on victims such as age and the method of death and, finally, the presence of “warning behaviour”. Reflections on the current state of the literature formed an important part of the study and enabled the authors to make recommendations for future research.,The study has not been published previously and all sources are credited. This study made a contribution by indicating important misconceptions about motherhood and the demography associated with infanticide in postpartum psychosis. It also highlighted the need for updated empirical research that may have implications for policy and practice

杀菌剂及其与产后精神病的关系:一项重要的解释性综合

这项研究旨在使用批判性解释性合成(CIS),从新颖的角度综合有关产后精神病背景下杀婴现象的现有文献。这项研究的重点是与以婴儿杀手为结果的产后精神病现象有关的环境因素,以及所选择的造成死亡的方法。CIS是一种回顾性方法,通过对现有文献的探索,将现有文献合成为一个连贯的框架。文学为核心。CIS导致对文学主体的自然批判,对研究及其发现至关重要。该研究最终发现了五种与环境方面和造成死亡的方法有关的合成结构。这些结构包括先前的精神病史和护理,犯罪者的人口统计资料,对母亲的看法,关于受害者的资料,例如年龄和死亡方法,最后是“警告行为”。对文学现状的反思构成了研究的重要组成部分,使作者能够为以后的研究提出建议。文学的年龄限制了研究的开展,有必要对研究进行更新以告知我们当前的历史背景。此外,纳入的大多数研究都来自发达国家,这可能会影响普遍性。他研究的目的不是要包括详尽的文献,因此可能没有包括其他相关文献。一些包括在内的研究并不仅仅针对产后精神病中的杀婴概念。尽管已努力确保严格,公认的是,不同的研究人员在诸如CIS之类的内在定性调查方法中可能得出不同的结论。其中包括先前的精神病史和护理,犯罪者的人口统计资料,对母亲的看法,对受害者的描述(例如年龄和死亡方法)以及“警告行为”的存在。对文献现状的反思是该研究的重要组成部分,使作者能够为以后的研究提出建议。该研究以前尚未发表,所有文献都被认为是值得的。这项研究通过指出关于产后精神病中的母性和与杀婴有关的人口统计学的重要误解作出了贡献。它还强调需要更新经验研究,这可能会对政策和实践产生影响
