- The needs of women in the postpartum period: A scoping reviewPublication . Vaz Sendas, Mónica; Freitas, Maria JoãoBackground: The postpartum period is critical and challenging for women, implying emotional, physical, social and spiritual changes. For a positive postpartum experience, it is important to receive consistent information and support from health professionals. However, this is not always the case, as care is more focused on the newborn, forgetting the needs of the puerperal woman. Aim: The review aimed to map the published scientific knowledge about women's needs in the postpartum period. Methods: A Scoping Review was carried out, according to the method proposed by The Joanna Briggs Institute, in the MEDLINE Complete, MedicLatina and CINAHL Complete databases, and were selected articles since 2017 that answered the research question "What is the available evidence on women's needs in the postpartum period?". For the selection of articles, the eligibility criteria were defined. Results: A total of 6,647 articles were identified. After the exclusion of duplicate articles and the application of the eligibility criteria, at the end of the process, 27 articles were included in the review. The extracted data were grouped into four categories, which summarize the needs of women in the postpartum period: support, sharing, care and preparation for the postpartum period. Conclusion: In the articles analysed, women reveal that they do not feel prepared for the postpartum period and identify several unmet needs, so health education and parenting skills training during pregnancy are essential to improve the postpartum experience and the transition to parenthood.
- Parents’ Needs When Experiencing the Transition to Twin ParenthoodPublication . Freitas, Maria João; Travanca, Isabel Sofia Maneta; Garcia-Fernández, RubénBackground: The transition to twin parenthood is a demanding challenge with a higher risk of maternal and fetal complications during pregnancy and a postpartum period that involves caring for more than one newborn at the same time with similar and simultaneous needs. (2) Aim: To find out about parents’ needs when experiencing the transition to twin parenthood and to describe the intervention of their specialized nursing support network. (3) Methodology: A descriptive exploratory study, based on a proper non-probabilistic sample of 15 nurses and 55 couples who are parents of twins, using two online questionnaires publicized on social networks. (4) Results: The couple’s needs were identified through knowledge of their experiences and difficulties during pregnancy and after the twin birth. Couples’ and nurses’ perceptions differed on the identified needs. The specialized nursing support network focuses its intervention on providing informative guidance on twin pregnancy and postpartum period, health education, group sharing experiences, home visits, planning, and including a family support network in the management of twin care and the creation of a daily routine. (5) Conclusions: There is a need to implement a program focused on the needs of parents of twins, promoting realistic expectations for the birth and parenting of twins, preparing parents, improving their well-being, and creating a specialized nursing support network available to this population.
