    Summary

    Postnatal visit duration in Scotland was influenced by specific procedures and administrative tasks, not by maternal health or support. Midwifery practice analysis reveals key factors affecting visit length.

    Area of Science:

    • Community Health
    • Midwifery Practice
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Postnatal care is crucial for maternal and infant well-being.
    • Understanding factors influencing community midwife visit duration is essential for efficient healthcare delivery.
    • Previous research has not comprehensively detailed the determinants of postnatal visit length.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe postnatal visiting practices in the Lothian Region, Scotland.
    • To identify factors significantly associated with the duration of community midwife postnatal visits.
    • To analyze the impact of procedural, administrative, feeding, and delivery-related factors on visit length.

    Main Methods:

    • Data collected by 24 community midwives over a two-week period.
    • Recording details of 783 postnatal visits.
    • Statistical analysis to identify factors associated with visit duration.

    Main Results:

    • Ten factors significantly influenced postnatal visit duration.
    • Time-consuming procedures (e.g., physical examinations, PKU testing) and administrative tasks (e.g., number of visits, liaison with other professionals) were key.
    • Feeding-related issues and delivery complications also impacted visit length.
    • Maternal health, social/emotional problems, or lack of family support did not correlate with longer visits.

    Conclusions:

    • Postnatal visit duration is primarily determined by clinical procedures and logistical factors.
    • Healthcare resource allocation and training should consider these identified factors.
    • Further research could explore optimizing visit structures based on these findings.
