“…The summary review on quality criteria led to employing an adapted version of the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research-COREQ [7], although one of the studies had also used an observation as a research technique [8]. The choice of this instrument occurred to detail its questionings, providing a more complete information exchange among the reviewers in an attempt to improve the reliability of the judgments.…”

This meta-synthesis presents the results of qualitative studies on puerperal perception concerning woman's care in the post-partum period. Four databases were researched using keywords such as "postnatal care" (or) "postpartum period", (and) "care", "women", "perception", "qualitative research", "women's health services", "community health services", "allied health personnel", "primary health care", resulting in 9 articles for analysis. Six themes were identified: interpersonal relationship, information, communication, attending the necessities, service organization and other supports. Results report mainly on the unsatisfactory professional care for women, appreciating the form of dealing with promptness and the timing to be attended; trust; content, coherence and the way to inform; clarification of doubts; friendly conversation and clinical assistance. The professional workload was restricted on postpartum period care quality. There were gaps found in clinical practice and in dialogical communication and information on women's health necessities.

“…Contudo, as rotinas estabelecidas e as prioridades institucionais mantêm-se difíceis de mudar (Schmied et al, 2009). Por outro lado, as mulheres mencionam falta de auto-confiança, embora a qualidade da relação com os enfermeiros pareça ajudá-las a sentirem controlo da sua própria situação aquando da alta hospitalar, contudo, o mais importante é o suporte familiar (Frei & Mander, 2011). Receber cuidados de saúde especializados é considerada uma fonte de segurança, mas participar nas decisões relativas ao recém-nascido e sentirem-se unidos como família são fatores determinantes (Oommen, Rantanen, Kaunonen, Tarkka, & Salonen, 2011).…”

Resumenpp.17-26 Enquanto que a puérpera espera dos enfermeiros atenção, acompanhamento e orientação, o pai deseja um maior envolvimento neste processo. Resumo Revista de Enfermagem Referência A R T I G O D E I N V E S T I G A Ç Ã O Adaptação à parentalidade: o nascimento do primeiro filhoPalavras-chave: pais, período pós-parto; cuidados de enfermagem.Marco contextual: El nacimiento del primer hijo es un acontecimiento que altera la vida de los progenitores, un proceso que es facilitado por el enfermero especializado en salud materna y obstétrica.Objetivo: Comprender las experiencias relativas a la parentalidad, durante el período de internamiento, tras el nacimiento del primer hijo sano, en las primeras 48 horas después de un parto eutócico. Metodología: La investigación se enmarca en el paradigma cualitativo y, en ella, participaron 26 progenitores (13 padres y trece madres) de un recién nacido sano a término. Se recurrió a la entrevista semiestructurada y al análisis de contenido de sus respuestas, para lo cual se categorizaron las unidades de registro. Resultados: Las figuras maternas destacaron el cansancio y un estado psicológico que varió entre la alegría y la tristeza, y que no consiguieron especificar. Las figuras paternas describen su papel como accesorio en un escenario en el que las madres y los recién nacidos interpretaron los papeles centrales. Conclusión: Este estudio contribuyó a la comprensión de la transición hacia la parentalidad. Los padres y las madres hablaron de ella de forma diferente. Mientras que la parturienta espera de los enfermeros atención, acompañamiento y orientación, el padre desea una mayor participación en este proceso.Palabras clave: padres; período posparto; cuidados de enfermería.Theoretical framework: The birth of the first child is an event that changes parents' lives in a process that is facilitated by obstetric and maternal health nurses. Objective: To understand the experiences of parenthood during hospital stay, after the birth of the first healthy child, and within the first 48 hours after a normal birth. Methodology: This study was framed within the qualitative paradigm. Twenty-six parents (13 fathers and 13 mothers) of a healthy term newborn participated in the study. A semistructured interview was used for data collection. Answers were subjected to content analysis and registration units were grouped into categories. Results: Maternal figures underlined fatigue and a psychological state that alternated between joy and sadness, which they were not able to specify. Paternal figures saw their role as accessory in a setting where mothers and newborns played the central role.Conclusion: This study contributed to understanding the transition to parenthood. Both fathers and mothers reported this stage in a different way. While the postpartum woman looked for attention, assistance and guidance from nurses, the father wanted to be more involved in the process.

“…[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. [4] The information that new mothers receive is at times contradictory, [5,7,8] insufficient, [9,10] or too much to absorb in a short time frame. [5,11] Hence, currently available postpartum care does not seem to allow new mothers to get to grips with the various events they view as being stressful.…”

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.
