Abstract

This study investigated mothers’ postpartum health management needs in Yulin City to study ways to improve maternal health management services. An electronic questionnaire survey was conducted on the postpartum follow-up of women in the First People’s Hospital of Yulin City, the Red Cross Hospital of Yulin City and the postpartum outpatient clinic of Guinan Hospital of Yulin City. The overall score of postpartum health management needs of the surveyed mothers was (4.34 ± 0.53) points. The average score of the required items was from high to low, which were (4.42 ± 0.56) points in the dimension of neonatal care needs, (4.33 ± 0.68) points in the dimensions of social support needs, and (4.27 ± 0.59) points in the dimensions of maternal physical and mental recovery needs. The main factors influencing the need for postpartum health management were education level, delivery experience, pregnancy complications/complications, and postpartum sleep (P < 0.05).
