Abstract

<p>This study aimed to identify the components of care that midwives should provide in stay-type postpartum care. Focus group interviews were conducted with eight midwives, and responses were analyzed qualitatively inductively. The responses were summarized as follows: promotion of mothers’ physical recovery and response to sudden changes, support for mothers’ mental health and mother–child relationship, understanding and acceptance of mothers’ desire for care (“I want you to take care of me”), confirmation and understanding of how mothers were brought up, support for daily life considering balance between mothers’ physical and mental rest and childcare, consideration and support for breastfeeding for mothers, growth and development of the child by the mother and midwife, support for the mother to cope with her child’s crying, and support for mothers to live a confident and comfortable child-rearing life.The results of this study indicate that midwives who provide residential stay-type postpartum care should elicit the thoughts and ideas of mothers who turn to postpartum care facilities with translated challenges and share goals with them toward independent living.</p>
