Abstract

Background: Coverage and quality of postnatal care for women and newborns tend to be relatively poor especially with COVID-19 outbreaks and length of stay in the health facility has shortened resulting in limited knowledge and skills of the postnatal homecare as well as family planning seeking care. With the development of communication technology, the maternity nurse becomes able to provide postpartum health teaching for enriching women with information to be able to deal with postpartum minor health alignments and timely family planning seeking care, also minimize the risk of infection caused by face-to-face follow up. Aim: The current study aimed to assess the impact of mobile communication on post-partum minor health alignments’ recovery and family planning seeking care among primiparous. Design: A quasi- experimental (Intervention /Control)) research design was used. Setting: This study was carried out in Obstetric and Gynecological Inpatient Wards and Labor and childbirth unit at Beni-Suef University Hospitals, Study subjects: A non-probability purposive sample of 119 primiparous mothers who were fulfilling the criteria. Tools: A structured interviewing questionnaire to conceal the data related to socio- demographic characteristics and mother’s knowledge about postpartum minor health alignments and family planning seeking care, follow up card and satisfaction Likert scale.
