Nurses' knowledge and teaching of possible postpartum complications
The American Journal of Maternal/Child Nursing Sep 05, 2017
Suplee PD, et al. – Researchers undertook this study to evaluate postpartum nurses' knowledge of maternal morbidity and mortality, and information they shared with women before discharge about identifying potential warning signs of postpartum complications. The results suggested that the majority of nurses in this study were not up–todate on the rates and timing of maternal mortality during the postpartum period in the United States. They did not always serve comprehensive education to all women prior to discharge from the hospital after childbirth. There is a need for nurses to serve consistent messages about potential warning signs that may ultimately reduce maternal death and severity of maternal complications.
