Strengths-Based Care: A Postpartum Plan for a Positive Fourth Trimester Experience

“…The strengths that contributed to a positive experience in the fourth trimester identified in this study include experiences, cognitive strengths, biological and intrapersonal strengths, psychological strengths, relational and affectionate strengths, social and interpersonal strengths, the creation of a plan, collaborative partnership, and the promotion of a protective environment. Information about breastfeeding typically comes from contact with health professionals during monitoring visits, courses, available literature, previous personal experiences, or those of relatives and friends, with mothers often being one of the largest sources of knowledge and direct support, as mentioned by Oliveira et al 32 Greater partner support in the postpartum period is associated with higher selfefficacy in breastfeeding, less depression, and less body dissatisfaction. 19,33 Acquiring new skills and abilities promotes the development of strengths, an opportunity created by transitions according to Gottlieb.…”
