  • Maternity Care Assistance During the Postpartum Period: How to Help New Mothers Cope
    Wiegers, T.A. Adjusting to motherhood maternity care assistance during the postpartum period: how to help new mothers cope. Journal of Neonatal Nursing: 12, 2006, nr. 5, p. 163-171 Postprint Version 1.0 Journal website http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/13551841 Pubmed link DOI 10.1016/j.jnn.2006.07.003 Adjusting to motherhood Maternity care assistance during the postpartum period: How to help new mothers cope THERESE A. WIEGERS NIVEL (Netherlands Institute for Health Services Research), P.O. Box 1568, 3500 BN Utrecht, The Netherlands E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT The overall aim of postpartum care is to detect health problems of the mother and/or baby at an early stage, to encourage breastfeeding and to give families a good start. This paper presents an overview of recent literature about postpartum care in several developed countries and elaborates on the Dutch model, which consists of professional postnatal care, provided by MCAs (maternity care assistants), who are supervised by midwives. The most important tasks of the maternity care assistant are, by becoming part of the family for a number of hours each day, being able to detect possible health problems, and to instruct, observe, and support the mother (and father) in establishing a new routine in their family life and help them to become confident in their parenting. BACKGROUND Maternity care is care during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. Maternity care is not only medical care, but also psychosocial care and support, information and education. Postpartum care is that part of maternity care that is concerned with the care for mother and child in the days and weeks following birth.
