There are many missed opportunities for enhancing the health care of postpartum women occur in the scope of routine postpartum care.

Great post and very informative. To add to your posting, postpartum maternal health care is a neglected aspect of women’s health care. There are many missed opportunities for enhancing the health care of postpartum women occur in the scope of routine postpartum care. Therefore, collecting national data on postpartum maternal morbidity, reforming postpartum care policies, providing holistic and flexible maternal health care, encouraging family support and involvement in support groups, and initiating educational programs are recommended. Once again, great topic especially since it’s not a common topic of research.

Experimental Research

Decisions made by households regarding antenatal and postnatal care affect health outcomes in pregnant women and nursing mothers. The SMART Initiatives Program in Egypt strives to promote efficient household decision-making encouraging healthy behaviors during community activities, home visits, and group sessions with women and their families. The study of Brasington, Abdelmegeid, Dwivedi, Kols, Kim, Khadka, and Gibson (2016) evaluated the program by comparing women’s knowledge and behaviors related to prenatal and postnatal care before and after exposure to SMART interventions and in the comparison group. The researchers suggest that there is a significant dose-response correlation between exposure to SMART interventions and behavioral indicators in Egypt. The findings of the study demonstrate the ability community organizations to promote knowledge and healthy behaviors among women.

The program evaluation employed a quantitative correlational quasi-experimental nonequivalent group design. Households surveys have been carried out before and after the intervention to test both intervention and comparison areas. Six Egypt’s governorates in Upper and Lower Egypt demonstrating poor health indicators were selected to implement the SMART intervention. In each governorate, similar in demographic characteristics districts were assigned to intervention or comparison group.
