Area of Science:

  • Maternal and Child Health
  • Health Services Research
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Postnatal services have undergone significant changes over the last decade.
  • There is a lack of research evaluating the impact of these changes on women and families.
  • Current understanding of required postnatal support in the first year is insufficient.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the urgent need for research into postnatal care models.
  • To advocate for studies evaluating the outcomes and cost-effectiveness of current postnatal services.
  • To inform policy development for postnatal midwifery and early childhood practice in Australia.

Main Methods:

  • The study emphasizes the necessity of employing rigorous research methodologies.

  • It calls for comparative evaluations of different postnatal care models.
  • Research should assess the content and quality of existing postnatal services.

    • Main Results:

    • Current research is insufficient to evaluate the effects of changes in postnatal services.
    • The physical and psychological outcomes for women and families are not adequately studied.
    • The actual level of support required by women and children in the first postnatal year is unknown.

    Conclusions:

    • Robust evidence is required to prevent the degradation of postnatal maternity services.
    • Research should compare the advantages and disadvantages of various postnatal care models.
    • Findings will guide recommendations and policies for Australian postnatal care practices.
