AI Article Synopsis
- Most women face challenges with breastfeeding due to physical symptoms and low confidence after childbirth, prompting the need for improved support.
- A study tested the effectiveness of postpartum home care and e-mobile training/consultancy through a randomized controlled trial involving 75 women, with assessments made on their physical symptoms and breastfeeding confidence.
- Results indicated that women in the home care group had significantly less postpartum physical symptoms and higher breastfeeding self-efficacy compared to those in control and e-mobile training groups, suggesting that these interventions should be standard in postpartum care.
Article Abstract
Background: Most women experience breastfeeding problems and need changes due to postpartum physical symptoms and low breastfeeding self-efficacy.
Methods: Postpartum home care and e-mobile training/consultancy has been introduced to address this issue. This study was conducted as a randomized controlled interventional study. The sample of the study consisted of 75 (home care group = 25, control group = 25, e-mobile training/consultancy group = 25) women who met the sample selection criteria, agreed to participate in the study, and were hospitalized in the postpartum ward of a City Hospital. Data were collected through the Personal Information Form, the Postpartum Physical Symptom Severity Scale and the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (BSES).
Results: In all postpartum stages, a statistically significant difference was detected between the home care, e-mobile training/consultancy and control group women in terms of the Postpartum Physical Symptoms Severity Scale and BSES total mean scores (P < .05). Interviews showed that the home care group had the lowest Postpartum Physical Symptom Severity Scale total mean scores and the highest BSES total mean scores (P < .05). Postpartum home visits and e-mobile training/consultancy should be considered a routine part of postpartum care. It is effective in reducing postpartum physical symptoms and increasing breastfeeding self-efficacy.
Conclusion: In line with the results of this study, the use of home care and e-mobile training/consultancy is recommended to decrease physical symptoms and increase breastfeeding self-efficacy.
