“…Interestingly, these assertions are consistent with several studies including Mitchell and Green (2002) who highlighted babysitting at "short notice" as a significant means through which maternal grandmothers helped their daughters cope with the mother role; Cronin (2003), who found maternal grandmothers were central in providing incidental care for their grandchildren so their daughters" could have "time out" for themselves; and Razurel et al (2011), who identified daily life hassles as being associated with more stress for mothers than major life events.…”

“…Social factors have also been shown to play a protective role and moderate the impact of stress on physical health and psychological well-being [75,76] , overall helping to increase coping skills, self-esteem, self-control and self-confidence [77] . For instance, social support was found to be of benefit during pregnancy as reported by Glazier, Elgar [78] in a study of 2052 Canadian mothers in which higher levels of social support correlated with fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety (typical bivariate correlations > r =.30, suggest that approximately 10% of depression in these mothers was related to poor social support).…”

This review paper presents research findings relating to physical, biological, social and psychological factors as they influence maternal and child health across the perinatal period. Taking a public health perspective, the paper also identifies best opportunities for service development to improve population health. Important gaps in our research knowledge about optimal maternal and child health are identified. The review concludes by highlighting the area of social support as a highly recommended priority for service development within maternal and child health.

“…[2] During this period, each mother will have specific and multidimensional needs, [3] and to develop a sense of competency, they require help, guidance and support. [1] Yet the literature shows that most currently available postpartum care falls short of mothers' expectations and needs. [4,5] In particular, 57% of mothers deem their care to be impersonal [6] and 50% believe their emotions are not taken into consideration during this period.…”

Objective: Adapting to the birth of a child can be stressful for new mothers. Caregivers (nurses and midwives) lack the tools to adequately assist with this adaptation. A perinatal psycho-educational interview was developed and systematically implemented on a daily basis for all mothers hospitalized postpartum in the maternity ward of our institution. Our first objective was to assess whether this psycho-educational interview was used systematically by care personnel, and whether it provided them with a greater sense of purpose in their professional role. Our second objective was to assess whether use of this interview decreased new mothers' perceptions of stress and improved their perceived adaptations to motherhood. Methods: An assessment before (T1) and after (T2) implementation of the psycho-educational interview (intervention) was carried out with 60 caregivers and 250 mothers. Results:The results show 41% of mothers in this study received two or more interviews during their hospital stay. Caregivers' job satisfaction was seen to increase (t = -3.2; p < .05), and feelings of frustration towards their work decreased (t = 2.65; p < .05). Mothers felt less stressed and less worried in T2 (t = -2.4; p < .05). Conclusions: These encouraging results show an increase in the use of this treatment in the postpartum setting, with desirable effects. Further studies should be carried out to consolidate these preliminary results.
