PurposeTo verify the outcomes of care provided by midwives for the purpose of building maternal confidence in new mothers. MethodsThis research was designed as a sequential, quasi-experimental study targeting an intervention group of 27 new mothers and a comparison group of 35 new mothers. Confidence-building care was given to the intervention group at 2-weeks postpartum (by phone) and 3-weeks postpartum (by interview). This care consisted of a midwife listening to a mother talk about the kinds of experiences that made her feel capable of taking care of her baby, and the kinds of experiences that made her feel as if she was doing her best, or has done her best, to care for her baby. The midwife then recognized the mother's efforts, and communicated assurances and a positive assessment. The Japanese version of the Maternal Confidence Questionnaire (hereafter, J-MCQ) was administered 4-5 days postpartum (pre-test) and 1-month postpartum (post-test). A t-test was conducted to validate the intervention outcomes. ResultsThe average J-MCQ score for the pretest was 34.2 points (SD=8.3) for the intervention group and 34.5 points (SD=7.9) for the comparison group. No significant difference was seen between the groups (t=0.191, p=.849). The average J-MCQ score for the posttest was 46.3 points (SD=9.1) for the intervention group and 42.8 points (SD=7.5) for the comparison group. No significant difference was seen between the groups (t=1.663, p=.101). Both groups scored significantly higher in the post-test than the pre-test (intervention group: t=9.446, p=.000; comparison group: t=6.28, p=.000). ConclusionThe confidence-building care for first-time mothers conducted by midwives was not demonstrated to be effective, but whether or not the intervention was implemented, this study clearly showed that mothers at 1-month postpartum possessed more confidence that at 4-5 days postpartum.

IntroductionMore than 90% of the stress and anxiety during pregnancy is associated with birth process (1). Labor pain as biological, psychological and social phenomenon, has complex and multiple relationships with many psychological, cultural and racial dimensions and the economic status of human. Therefore, seeking strategies to reduce or eliminate such pain has always been a demand of most mothers and relevant people involved in this domain. Lack of awareness and fear of unknown issues related to pregnancy and childbirth leads to maternal anxiety during this period. As a result of fear and anxiety, stress hormones are increased and may lead to premature delivery, lack of labor progress, low birth weight and fetal hypoxia (2).Women's access to all health services along with increasing their awareness through education and counseling during pregnancy and childbirth are among important factor in preventing mortality and complications during this period. Increasing knowledge and skills during pregnancy prepares mothers for birth and promotes their health status. Today, education is one of the indispensable elements of human life, and in many parts of the world, education about pregnancy and childbirth, which aims to raise awareness of pregnant women and their partners about childbirth and parenthood, are offered to women as part of routine prenatal care (3).So far, different educational methods have been applied to educate learners, but problems including lack of expert and experienced trainers, new educational facilities in the region and the possibility to access to modern educational technology as well as the problem related to learners' presence in the classroom setting, led to the development of remote teaching -learning methods and strategies using educational software and technologies (4,5).In the booklet training method, the learner is provided with knowledge and experience at the same time and is applied more for educated people and this method can be used when there is not sufficient number of trainers. The training booklet is recommended as a teaching method while comparing the effect of face-to-face training and the booklet-based training method on the patient's learning after urinary tract surgeries (6). In another study, although the impact of individual training of health workers was more effective in raising awareness of mothers towards infants' anthropometric changes, the impact of this type of remote training was effective as well (7). The disadvantages of training booklet include lack of infrastructure, limited access to teachers, lack of adequate educational AbstractObjectives: In all parts of the world, education about pregnancy and childbirth are offered to women as part of routine care. This study aimed to compare the effect of software and booklet on knowledge regarding labor pain management. Materials and Methods: This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 153 pregnant women referring to healthcare centers of Miandoab city in West Azerbaijan province, Iran in 2015-2016.

“…They defined the maternal self-confidence as the mother's understanding of her ability to take care of her children and correct interpretation of the signals (6). Kuo et al reported that maternal self-confidence facilitates the development of the maternal role and promotes the optimal child growth and development (7). Considering the breadth of information required to mothers and some non-scientific beliefs in the face of a newborn (especially in the case of mothers who gave birth of their first child), mothers should be taught key points about everyday care Copyright and manner of dealing with common problems in the neonatal period (1).…”
