“…Our findings suggest that there may be a significant subgroup of postpartum HEDs who report frequent strong urges to drink, weekly binge drinking or serious concerns about their drinking, supporting the need for interventions. Feasibility of TMIs was supported by high rates of mobile phone usage for texting and other applications, consistent with other studies of low-income, racially diverse postpartum women [15]. Findings on acceptability of text messaging as an intervention approach for postpartum HED were mixed.…”

IntroductionText messaging interventions (TMI) are promising for addressing heavy episodic drinking (HED) in non‐treatment‐seeking postpartum women. Their anonymous delivery can overcome fear of consequences that often prevents postpartum women from seeking treatment for HED. We assessed feasibility and acceptability of text messaging to inform the development of a tailored TMI for postpartum HED.MethodsWe surveyed 165 postpartum women recruited via a national Qualtrics panel on their drinking behaviours, mobile technology use and TMI preferences.ResultsTwenty‐five percent of the sample (N = 41) were classified as heavy episodic drinkers, with significant drinking reported before, during and after pregnancy, supporting the need for intervention. Feasibility of text messaging was supported by nearly universal mobile phone ownership and text messaging. Attitudes and intervention preferences varied, with 30% of HEDs likely to participate in an intervention asking them to receive automated messages, and 46% likely to participate in an intervention that included live texting with a counsellor. Respondents were more likely to participate in a study that asked them to respond to messages about mood and stress (63%) than daily drinking behaviours (35%), and were most interested in a TMI that included live texting with a counsellor. Nearly half the sample endorsed fear of child removal as a significant barrier to participation.Discussion and ConclusionsFindings support the feasibility of text messaging as an intervention approach for postpartum HEDs. Postpartum women may have unique concerns and preferences that differ from other groups of HEDs, making a user‐centred design approach critical.

Objective This study aimed to evaluate postpartum weight retention (PPWR) among women who participated in a postpartum patient navigation (PN) program. Study Design English-speaking pregnant or postpartum women receiving publicly-funded prenatal care at a hospital-based clinic were invited to receive PN services through 12 weeks postpartum. Women were eligible for this analysis if height and weight values were available. Weights at 4 to 12 weeks and up to 12 months postpartum were compared in PN and non-PN historical-control groups and analyzed as mean PPWR (difference from prepregnancy weight) and categorically as PPWR > 5kg. Results Among the 311 women, 152 participated in the PN program and 159 were historical controls. There were no differences in age, race and ethnicity, prepregnancy body mass index (BMI), nulliparity, and preterm birth between the groups (p > 0.05). At 4 to 12 weeks postpartum, mean PPWR (4.0 ± 6.7 vs. 2.7 ± 6.3 kg, p = 0.06) and PPWR > 5 kg (61/144 [42%] vs. 50/145 [34%], p = 0.15) did not differ between groups. Similarly, up to 12 months postpartum, mean PPWR (4.5 ± 7.1 vs. 5.0 ± 7.5 kg, p = 0.59) and PPWR > 5 kg (22/50 [44%] vs. 30/57 [53%], p = 0.55) did not differ between groups. Conclusion Although PN is a promising intervention to improve women's health care utilization and other associated health outcomes, in this particular navigation program, participation was not associated with PPWR at 4 to 12 weeks and up to 12 months postpartum.

“…For this, first-time mothers require greater accompaniment in the postpartum stage (4,5). The use of technological advances in healthcare has shown benefits and facilitates monitoring to support first-time mothers, as noted in previous studies (6)(7)(8) in which the use of mobile applications have allowed for greater access to learning, especially if these technologies are focused on user needs (9).…”

Background: First-time mothers require greater nursing accompaniment in the postpartum period due to their lack of expertise and preparation for the new challenges of motherhood. Information and communication technologies (ICTCs) allow easy access to learning habits for the transition into motherhood; however, the lack of technological appropriation for postpartum monitoring becomes evident in developing countries and in the Western world. Methods: This study developed the Amacompri postpartum nursing tracking information system, which is based on Mercer's theory of becoming a mother and discusses the vital environment: First-time mother’s family and friends. The Amacompri software was designed using the SCRUM methodology, java web technologies and PostgreSQL database. Results: This information system features a web version and a mobile App. The technical validation involved 10 experts, and the validation by population 10 first-time mothers. This first group reviewed the quality of presentation and content in the early stages of the software. Finally, the Amacompri system was used for 4 months by 33 first-time mothers, who evaluated the application for design, usability, and applicability. Amacompri software was effective for non-face-to-face nursing accompaniment to first-time mothers. Conclusions: The Amacompri software was designed based on Mercer's theory of becoming a mother, and has been technically validated (experts) and validated by population (first mothers), demonstrating its quality in both presentation and content. Its evaluation demonstrated its effectiveness in meeting the development objective. In this context, the Amacompri software meets multimedia requirements in the functional, technical-esthetic, and pedagogical aspects.
