“…First, we chose migrant workers' healthcare-seeking behaviors as dependent variables to test the effects of health education. The direct effect of health education should be health knowledge [39,40], to improve the medical behavior of migrant workers. The mediating effect of health knowledge between health education and healthcare-seeking behavior may be tested in future research.…”

Health education is considered to be an effective way to improve the healthcare-seeking behavior of migrant workers.This study examined the impact of health education on healthcare-seeking behavior of migrant workers in China and explored the differences in different health education methods. This paper used the 2017 China Migrants Dynamic Survey (CMDS) to analyze the relationship between health education and healthcare-seeking behavior. Our results indicated that health education could significantly improve the healthcare-seeking behavior of migrant workers, but there was still ample space for improvement. From the perspective of different health education methods, lectures, public consultation, and online education were positively correlated to healthcare-seeking behavior, while publicity materials and bulletin boards were not. Although the effects of publicity materials and bulletins were limited, these two health education methods were still the most widely used. Our results emphasized the necessity of increasing investment in lectures, public consultation, online education, and other similar health education methods. This change in health education methods can play an effective role in the spread of health education to improve the healthcare-seeking behavior of migrant workers.

“…The involvement of partners in the care specified by Dennis et al, (2017) also functioned as a determinant of postpartum anxiety. Furthermore, Barbosa, et al, (2016) and Shabaan, et al, (2018) asserted that a good mother's knowledge of postpartum care improves selfcare abilities and reduces the anxiety levels. The knowledge should be imparted during pregnancy.…”

Postpartum mothers with twins are more prone to mental health problems, particularly anxiety. However, research regarding the appropriate interventions to overcome anxiety in postpartum mothers with twins is limited. Anxiety has an impact on the health of both mother and baby. We conducted a pilot study to minimize the risks to mothers and babies, which was supportive postpartum care (SPC). The study was performed to five postpartum mothers with twins during hospitalization. SPC was employed by providing physical support, which was in the form of breast care and oxytocin massage, psychological support in the form of relaxation techniques, information support in the form of education, and advocacy support in the form of husband involvement. This method was effective for postpartum mothers with twins in reducing anxiety, increasing breastfeeding effectiveness, increasing knowledge, and improving the husband’s involvement in care. This study showed that SPC can reduce postpartum anxiety among postpartum mothers with twins effectively. A very good increase of LATCH score and knowledge were reported in 3 out of 5 mothers. Families, especially husbands, were advised to continue providing care support through the role division at home.

“…Significance of the study: (14) in Egypt found that less than two thirds (64.7%) of women weren't aware of expected minor discomforts during postpartum period, in addition women did not consider their complaint important enough to mention it. However, the magnitude of reported problems justified serious consideration of the care for women during this important and sometimes crucial phase of life.…”

The aims of the study were to assess knowledge regarding postnatal minor discomforts and self care activities among nulliparous women and set guidelines for nulliparous women about postnatal minor discomforts and self care activities. Study design: cross sectional descriptive design. Setting: the antenatal clinic of two hospitals (Zagazig university hospital and al Ahrar hospital. Study subjects: A convenient sample included 520 nulliparous women. Tools of data collection: A structured interview questionnaire was used. Results: The mean age of the studied women was 22.67 ± 2.15 years. A higher percentage of the studied women were secondary and university educated than essentially educated 52.7% & 31.5% vs. 15.8% respectively. In addition a higher percentage was rural residents and housewives 55.8% & 84.6% respectively. 68.1% of women were recruited in late pregnancy beyond 20 weeks and mothers were the main source of the studied women knowledge. Conclusion: almost three fourth of nulliparae had poor knowledge regarding the postnatal minor discomforts and self care activities for relieving them. Moreover the socio-demographic characteristics mainly affected the mean knowledge score; as young nulliparae below the age of 25, low level of education, rural residents and housewives their mean knowledge score was low. Recommendations: Health teaching supported by prints and drawings should be given to pregnant women in their antenatal visits that involve information about the postpartum period, minor discomforts that may arise during this period, their relief measures and how to differentiate them from danger signs that may arise during this critical period that require seeking advice of health care giver.
