Support and continuity during the first 2 weeks postpartum. Scand J Caring Sci. 2015;29(03):409–417. Doi: 10.1111/scs.12144.10.1111/scs.12144 https://doi.org/10.1111/scs.12144.10.111...

Cross-sectional study, with mixed methodology. 363 participants. |
Part of the puerperal women pointed out the lack of continuity, the insufficient support in relation to the physical and emotional health of the women. The level of satisfaction was related to the time the women stayed in the hospital, that is, they were given direct postpartum care. Mothers who sought emergency care showed lower satisfaction with puerperal care. The assistance sought in the emergency triggered the need for support and continuity of care. |

Factors affecting readiness for discharge and perceived social support after childbirth. J Clin Nurs. 2018;27(13-14):2763–2775. Doi: 10.1111/jocn.14248 https://doi.org/10.1111/jocn.14248...

Descriptive and cross-sectional method, cross-sectional study. 610 participants. |
The information provided by professionals about postpartum care and social support is important for women and their families. Especially for the primiparous group, women who had complications during or after childbirth or who for some reason could not attend childbirth classes. Women in socially vulnerable conditions have less information about the postpartum period and were not prepared for hospital discharge. There is a need for special intervention programs that inform this population about postpartum care |
