Evaluation of a telephone intervention in community health nursing postpartum care

University of British Columbia

CHNs were of the opinion that after the call women seemed more aware of self-care, seemed less anxious when caring for themselves or their infants, contacted their physician more appropriately, received more support, were more aware of community resources, used the available resources more, and got out more. It is recommended that the telephone call intervention be implemented for all women following birth, but that it occur earlier than six weeks postpartum, preferably at three to four weeks postpartum. Implications and recommendations for nursing practice, nursing education, nursing administration, and future nursing research are presented.
