The Needs of Postbirth Parents: An International, Multisite Study
Open accessAbstract
Health care reform has moved postbirth care into the community without assessment of how this may change parents' needs. Mother-father pairs (n = 117) in six sites in four countries were interviewed at 5 to 10 days postbirth and again between 6 and 8 weeks postbirth to determine their needs. Content analysis revealed both parents in all sites had a strong focus on self-needs throughout the postbirth period. Postpartum programs oriented solely to family-centered care may not meet the specific needs of contemporary parents.

From Consequences of maternal postpartum depression: A systematic review of maternal and infant outcomes (2019) · cites this paper as [163]
The Method section reports mothers’ physical discomfort and needs for reassurance and adjustment to the maternal role; the literature review also describes multiple studies of postpartum concerns. But this study follows needs only through roughly 6–8 weeks after birth, and the review mentions research as late as six months—not throughout the year after childbirth.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
