Abstract

During the postpartum period, which lasts for 6 weeks after birth, mothers have to face potential risks of long-term postpartum complications and even death. Collaboration in postpartum care plays an important role in ensuring the quality of life and healthcare services delivered to mothers and infants. Method: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted among 214 mothers after giving birth vaginally at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Bach Mai Hospital. Results: The common symptoms were reported as: 17.3% of agitation and discomfort due to perineal laceration; 40.2% of abdominal distention and obstructed defecation. Only 2% of participants reported postpartum hemorrhage. Age over 35, nutrition consultation, and personal hygiene were factors relating to the quality of postpartum care during the hospitalization. Overall, 92% of mothers were satisfied with the high quality of postpartum care. Conclusion: Postpartum care should focus on common symptoms including agitation, the discomfort of vaginal laceration, postpartum hemorrhage, abdominal distention, or urinary retention; in addition to consultation for mothers about nutrition and personal hygiene.
