Concerns of multiparas during the second postpartum week.

A study was conducted to identify concerns of multiparas during the early postpartum period. Twenty multiparas were interviewed at home 10 to 14 days postpartum. Family, mother, and baby items were sorted into three categories; worry, interest, and no concern. Meeting the needs of everyone at home and other family items were most frequently sorted as a concern. Feeding method, mother's educational level, yearly household income, sex of the newborn, and childbirth preparation were related to the number of concerns.

Maternal concerns during the early postpartum.

The trend toward shortened, postpartum hospitalization has greatly reduced the time available to teach child care and parenting techniques to new mothers. This study surveyed 120, low-risk mothers during the early postpartum period to identify their concerns and learning needs. During home interviews, a card-sort tool and questionnaire were used to gather information. Frequencies for family, mother, and infant items are listed. Participants were worried about family finances, meeting the needs of everyone at home, and being a good mother. They were also interested in learning more about their infant.
