简要总结
H1a: There is a difference between the severity of physical symptoms displayed by puerperal women who received routine and personalized care during the early postpartum period.
H1b: There is a difference between the levels of readiness for discharge among puerperal women who received routine and personalized care during the early postpartum period.
H0a: There is no difference between the severity of physical symptoms displayed by puerperal women who received routine and personalized care during the early postpartum period.
H0b: There is no difference between the levels of readiness for discharge among puerperal women who received routine and personalized care during the early postpartum period.
详细描述
This single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted between the February and December of 2019. The study was carried out at tertiary care hospital in Turkey. The population of this study consisted of the puerperal women who performed vaginal birth at the maternity unit of a hospital.
Considering the possibility that participants of the sample might be lost or abandon the study, 120 mothers who met the criteria of inclusion to experimental (E) (n=60) and control (C) (n=60) groups were included and assigned to both groups using the permuted block randomization method.The investigators randomly allocated the participants either to the intervention group (which received the personalized care), or to control group (which received the routine care). The mothers in the experimental group (60) were administered personalized care while those in the control group (60) were given the routine care.
The pre-test procedure was performed when the mothers' statuses were stabilized one hour after the admittance to the maternity service. The post-test procedure was conducted one hour before the discharge. Routine care was provided to the mothers in both groups. Routine care means the standard care service provided to mothers following the birth. The standard postpartum basic care components were determined based on the guides and protocols of the hospital. There are three core components of postpartum care regarding the routine care service.
The data were collected using the ''Personal Information Form'', ''Postpartum Physical Symptom Severity Scale'' and ''Perceived Readiness for Discharge After Birth Scale-Form for New Mothers (PRDABS-FNM)''.
Statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) Statistics 22 software. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, frequency and percentage values) were used to assess the results. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to review the goodness of fit to normal distribution.

结局指标
主要结局
Pre- Test Severity of Physical Symptoms
时间窗: 1 hour after the admittance to the maternity service
Postpartum Physical Symptom Severity Scale; this 4-point Likert scale has 18 items aiming to determine the physical postpartum symptoms. The scale is scored as 0 (none), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate) and 3 (severe). The scale assesses the physical symptoms, such as perineum pain, insomnia, constipation, backpain, headache, hemorrhoid, arthralgia, numbness in hands and feet, vaginal discharge and infection, vaginal bleeding, urinary tract infections, dizziness, varicose vein in legs, urinary incontinence, feeling cold abnormally or coldness in hands and feet, and it evaluates the severity of these symptoms. The total scale score varies between 0 and 54. An increase in the score obtained from the scale indicates high severity of physical postpartum symptoms.
Pre-Test Readiness for Discharge After Birth
时间窗: 1 hour after the admittance to the maternity service
Perceived Readiness for Discharge After Birth Scale-Form for New Mothers (PRDABS-FNM); This is a scale assessing the readiness for discharge by mothers' perceptions. It consists of four subdimensions and 23 items. The first item is answered dichotomously (yes/no). The items between 2 and 23 are calculated through the Likert type points ranging from 0 to 10. The subdimensions consisted of 1. Care skills, 2. Expected support; 3. Strength and ability to cope; 4. Stress control and knowledge of accessing help. The lowest and highest scores are 0 and 220. High scores indicate women's readiness for discharge.
