“…However, in this study, when directly asked to report physical and/or mental health problems they experienced after childbirth, only one-third of respondents reported a morbidity. It is possible that this particular group of women did not have many physical and psychological problems after childbirth, although this is in contrast with the literature which suggests a high percentage (over 90%) of women experiencing at least one health problems after childbirth (Wilkie et al, 2017).…”

Aims To identify the health problems that women feel require help and subsequent help‐seeking behaviour during the 12 months period after childbirth. Background Many women experience physical and mental health problems after childbirth, but there is a gap in understanding how they perceive their health after childbirth. Studies suggested they are inhibited in expressing their needs and so seek informal rather than professional help for their health problems. Design A mixed method concept mapping study. Method Two groups of Australian women were recruited by an online platform and purposive sampling (N = 81) in 2017–2018, based on an established concept mapping methodology. A first group created 83 brainstorm statements about post‐childbirth health problems and help‐seeking and a second group sorted and rated the statements based on their perception of the prevalence of the issues and the help‐seeking advice they would offer to others. Bradshaw`s Taxonomy of Needs was used to theoretically underpins the explanation of the results of women's felt need after childbirth. Results Multidimensional scaling resulted in six clusters of issues which were categorized into three domains: ‘health issues and care’, ‘support’ and ‘fitness’. Despite being directly asked, about two‐thirds of the women did not report experiencing any health problems. Conclusion Our findings showed women had a broader perception of healthcare needs which included support and fitness. There is a potential gap in services for women who do not have good social support. Impact Family and friends were a key source of help‐seeking. Post‐childbirth routine care was focused on infant care and limited to the first 6 weeks after childbirth. The content of current post‐childbirth care must be reviewed.

“…Higher scores indicate greater somatic symptom severity: cut off points are 5 (low), 10 (medium) and 15 (high) severity. Internal reliability in our sample was acceptable (α = .73) as were psychometric properties (Wilkie et al, 2017 ).…”

Pregnancy, birth and adjusting to a new baby is a potentially stressful time that can negatively affect the health of women. There is some evidence that expressive writing can have positive effects on psychological and physical health, particularly during stressful periods. The current study aimed to evaluate whether expressive writing would improve women’s postpartum health. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with three conditions: expressive writing (n = 188), a control writing task (n = 213), or normal care (n = 163). Measures of psychological health, physical health and quality of life were measured at baseline (6–12 weeks postpartum), 1 and 6 months later. Ratings of stress were taken before and after the expressive writing task. Intent-to-treat analyses showed no significant differences between women in the expressive writing, control writing and normal care groups on measures of physical health, anxiety, depression, mood or quality of life at 1 and 6 months. Uptake and adherence to the writing tasks was low. However, women in the expressive writing group rated their stress as significantly reduced after completing the task. Cost analysis suggest women who did expressive writing had the lowest costs in terms of healthcare service use and lowest cost per unit of improvement in quality of life. Results suggest expressive writing is not effective as a universal intervention for all women 6–12 weeks postpartum. Future research should examine expressive writing as a targeted intervention for women in high-risk groups, such as those with mild or moderate depression, and further examine cost-effectiveness.Clinical trial registration number ISRCTN58399513 www.isrctn.comElectronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s10865-018-9970-3) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Objective: To find out the differences quality of life of between mother in late pregnancy and early puerperium, in terms of analysis of maternal characteristics and mean scores from each domain of quality of life. Method: This study uses a cross-sectional design to the 120 pregnant women and 102 postpartum mothers. The data was collected in September until November 2019, at three Puskesmas Rawat Inap in Kota Yogyakarta. The data collection tool used the Indonesian version of the WHOQOL BREF questionnaire, and analyzed with the One Way Anova test and the Manova test. Results: The results showed that the characteristics associated with quality of life were the level of education of pregnant women (to all domains of quality of life) and parity of pregnant women (to the domain of physical). The quality of life scores of postpartum mothers compared with pregnant women in all domains, consistently showed that had lower mean scores, but the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: The quality of life between mother in late pregnancy and early puerperium was relatively equal, with lower tendency in early puerperium mother. Keywords: quality of life, pregnancy, childbirth Abstrak Latar belakang: Keberhasilan dalam memberikan asuhan kepada ibu pada periode kehamilan dan nifas ditentukan dari kemampuan memberikan asuhan pasien/klien secara komprehensif. Penilaian kebutuhan ibu hamil dan nifas terhadap asuhan yang komprehensif dapat dilihat melalui hasil pengukuran kualitas hidup. Tujuan: Mengetahui perbedaan kualitas hidup ibu hamil dan nifas, ditinjau dari analisis karakteristik ibu dan rerata skor dari masing-masing domain kualitas hidup. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain potong lintang. Sampel pada penelitian ini adalah 120 ibu hamil dan 102 ibu nifas. Pengambilan data dilakukan pada bulan September hingga November 2019, pada tiga Puskesmas Rawat Inap di Kota Yogyakarta. Alat pengumpulan data menggunakan kuisioner WHOQOL BREF versi Indonesia. Data yang telah diperoleh dianalisis dengan uji one way Anova dan uji Manova. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa karakteristik yang berhubungan dengan kualitas hidup adalah tingkat pendidikan ibu hamil (terhadap seluruh domain kualitas hidup) dan paritas ibu hamil (terhadap domain kesehatan fisik). Rerata skor kualitas hidup pada ibu nifas dibandingkan dengan kualitas hidup ibu hamil secara konsisten pada seluruh domain menunjukkan nilai yang lebih rendah, namun perbedaan tersebut tidak bermakna secara statistik. Kesimpulan: Kualitas hidup ibu hamil dan ibu nifas relatif sama dengan kecenderungan lebih rendah pada kualitas hidup ibu nifas Kata kunci: kualitas hidup, hamil, nifas
