Nurses’ Perspective On Postpartum Education Needs In A Referral Hospital
Subject
education, focus group, follow-up care, postpartum women;
Description
Background: The study about nurses’ perception of postpartum
complication education is limited. The previous studies in
Indonesia focus on providing education as a direct intervention to
patients. This study aimed to determine the educational needs of
postpartum mothers from the nurses' point of view.
Methods: This study was a qualitative study conducted from April
to July 2021 in a referral hospital in Central Java, Indonesia. Data
were collected through focus group discussions, in-depth
interviews, and observations. The participant of this study were
seven nurses in the postpartum ward. The collected data were
analyzed using a tabulated theme conducted through the thematic
analysis approach.
Results: All the participants were females. Three major themes
were generated in this study: reasons for the need for continuous
postpartum education, obstacles to implementing postpartum
education, and expectations of future follow-up care. The
subthemes for the first theme are patients readmitted to the
hospital, excessive educational topics, short admission time, and
high-risk postpartum mothers. While the subthemes for the second
theme are time constraints, limited educational media, and
environmental and cultural influences, and the subthemes for the
third theme are continuous monitoring and accessibility of
educational media.
Conclusion: The study has provided new insights regarding the
continuity of postpartum education and the obstacles nurses face and has implications for developing a system of continuity of care for postpartum patients, especially for high-risk patients.
