Background:

  • Postpartum learning needs are crucial for maternal and infant well-being.
  • Existing studies on postpartum learning needs exhibit methodological variations.
  • A comprehensive understanding of these variations is needed for comparative analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically describe and compare methodological differences in studies addressing postpartum learning needs.
  • To identify research gaps and inform future studies in this area.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted computerized literature searches of CINAHL, MEDLINE, and Health Star databases.
