"Health challenges and midwifery support for new mothers after childbirth: A cross-sectional study in Sweden"

CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATION FOR PRACTICE: It is notable that 16 % of new mothers seek emergency care in the first weeks after childbirth. This study has practical implications for midwifery practice and policy. There is a need for tailored postnatal support strategies so that midwives potentially are able to mitigate emergency department visits. Further studies should look at whether the high number of emergency visits among new mothers varies throughout Sweden, and whether this may be a result of reduced time of hospital stay after childbirth or other factors.PMID:38692249 | DOI:10.1016/j.midw.2024.104020
