Effects of an educational program on knowledge and efficacy of Self-Care during pregnancy among marriage immigrant women in South Korea

The effect of a self-care program based on the teach back method on the postpartum quality of life

“…Various educational methods are currently used for promoting maternal health, such as the use of pamphlets and online tools, but the point is that this education should be beneficial and practical for mothers in accordance with their particular conditions ( 36 ). Although previous studies have shown the effectiveness of some self-care training programs in enhancing the postpartum quality of life ( 34 , 37 , 38 ), the present study showed the effectiveness of the Teach Back method on the postpartum quality of life for the first time. Since the postpartum quality of life also improved in the control group, it can be argued that, not only the intervention used in this study, but also the routine care services currently offered in healthcare centers across the country can positively affect the quality of life in this group of women.…”

“…The present study showed that the implementation of a self-care program based on the Teach Back method improves the postpartum quality of life and increases the mean overall quality of life score 2.25 times more than when conventional care methods are used. This improvement could be attributed to how this method teaches participants the skills required to adjust to new conditions and abandon their unhealthy habits, and also reduces their postpartum problems ( 34 ) due to its particular feature of ensuring that the mothers have fully understood the training ( 35 ). Various educational methods are currently used for promoting maternal health, such as the use of pamphlets and online tools, but the point is that this education should be beneficial and practical for mothers in accordance with their particular conditions ( 36 ).…”

Does a nurse-led postpartum self-care program for first-time mothers in Bangladesh improve postpartum fatigue, depressive mood, and maternal functioning?: a non-synchronized quasi-experimental study

“…For the process indicators, self-care behavior, SE, and postpartum care knowledge showed statistically significant increases at both postpartum 2 weeks and 6 weeks, compared to baseline levels. This finding is similar to studies such as a nurse-led self-care intervention for primiparas after birth [32] and a prenatal and postnatal self-care educational program focused on perineal care, nutrition, and sexual activities [17], which found improvement in postpartum self-care knowledge and self-care efficacy.…”

“…The conceptual framework for this study was based on the concepts of SE as a component of social cognitive theory [16] and linked to health as the final outcome. postpartum SE has been shown to positively affect mothers' ability to perform self-care behaviors and promote postpartum health [17,18]. A modified conceptual framework for postpartum SE was conceptualized for this study in three constructs (Figure 1): (1) personal characteristics (sociodemographic and delivery-related characteristics) was postulated to influence (2) process indicators (postpartum care knowledge, postpartum SE, and postpartum self-care); and (3) outcome indicators (PPF, depressive mood, and maternal functioning).…”

Understanding maternal postpartum needs: A descriptive survey of current maternal health services

“…In addition, they concluded that teaching in Jordanian hospitals after giving birth was not effective. For many women, unaddressed concerns and having insufficient knowledge during the postpartum period could increase the risk of maternal postpartum complications such as postpartum depression (Walker et al, 2015), fatigue and sleep disturbances (Fahey & Shenassa, 2013;Troy, 2003), and self-care deficit (Jeon & Hwang, 2013). These health problems interfere with a woman's ability to perform her own basic needs and interfere with providing care to the new baby.…”
