“…Similar discussions were had surrounding postpartum experiences in previous qualitative studies [18], but the content of mothers' experiences with Korean medicine interventions was newly discovered. When the mothers were asked directly about the reasons for participating in the program, their responses indicated that many had applied for the program with skepticism and vague expectations, which could be attributed to the lack of clear awareness about KM-based care.…”

“…In a previous study, the research team of this study analyzed the trends in research on health care for mothers during the postpartum period. The results showed that there were only five previous qualitative studies, and none of these studies analyzed the efficacy of postpartum care interventions or identified the experiences of mothers, which clearly indicated the need for more qualitative research on this topic [18].…”

This study aimed to record the experiences of childbirth and postpartum care of postpartum women and gain an in-depth understanding of their experiences of Korean medicine-based postpartum healthcare. The investigator conducted a 60–90-min interview with the 8 participants (mean age 34 years), and the comments were analyzed using the thematic analysis method. The two major themes emerging from the participants’ comments were: “experience and awareness of childbirth and postpartum care” and “experiences of the Korean medicine-based postpartum program”. The first theme was analyzed in four primary categories: (1) experiences of breakdown of the body and mind; (2) impossibility of postpartum care without help; (3) experiences of relentless effort for recovery; and (4) experiences of body and mind recovery. The second theme was analyzed in four primary categories: (1) participation with vague expectations; (2) experiences of the effects of managing postpartum symptoms; (3) the need for a comprehensive Korean medicine management for postpartum women; and (4) suggested improvements for the Korean medicine-based postpartum program. Mothers recognized the importance of Korean medicine treatment during the postpartum period for the management of Sanhupung symptoms and postpartum care and reported the benefits of body warming, Sanhupung prevention, pain reduction, and sense of psychological stability.
