  • The needs of women in the postpartum period: A scoping review
    Publication . Vaz Sendas, Mónica; Freitas, Maria João
    Background: 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.
