Overview
Brief Summary
Experimental study will determine the efficacy of nursing intervention named Maternal support to become first-time mothers based on the theory of Ramona Mercer. Sequential explanatory design will be used. It is a mixed design with approach quantitative and qualitative in order to obtain a better approach of the phenomen. The approach quantitative will be randomized controlled clinical trial. The qualitative analysis of the content will be done according to Bardin.
Detailed Description
Taking into account the scientific literature related to studies in first-time mothers with healthy newborns, it can be concluded that the limited success of interventions that have been made suggests that the main areas of becoming a mother have not been addressed, either as part of the content or process of the interventions. This study will be conducted in 24 months. The sample size calculated will be 74 first-time mothers in total, which are allocated in two groups, intervention and control. Each group with 37 mothers.
