    • Pediatric Nursing

    Background:

    • Postnatal care is crucial for maternal and infant well-being.
    • Effective education on childcare practices is essential for primiparous women.
    • Current educational strategies on postnatal wards may be suboptimal.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore primiparous women's experiences with labor and delivery.
    • To assess the quality and content of childcare education received on the postnatal ward.
    • To identify gaps and opportunities in postnatal maternal education.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative interviews were conducted with 60 primiparous women.
    • Participants shared their experiences of labor, delivery, and postnatal education.
    • Data analysis focused on identifying common themes and concerns.

    Main Results:

    • A significant number of women reported misgivings and unanswered questions regarding labor and delivery.
    • Childcare education provided on the postnatal ward was perceived as unsystematic.
    • Many women felt inadequately prepared for infant care despite receiving some education.

    Conclusions:

    • There are missed opportunities in providing comprehensive and systematic childcare education on postnatal wards.
    • Maternal education strategies need improvement to address women's concerns and knowledge gaps.
    • Enhanced postnatal education can improve maternal confidence and infant care practices.
