None of postpartum care parameters were applied to 1.0% and all of the 16 parameters were applied to 1.2% of puerperas. The most frequent parameters in the content postpartum care were breast feeding (89.6%), maintaining iron supplement (81.8%), blood pressure measurement (80.2%) and education of mothers' nutrition (76.1%). On the other hand, the least frequent parameters were perineal (4.7%) and abdominal examination (24.1%) and history taking about palpitations/shortness of breath (28.0%).
