Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to clarify the psychological care-including psychological care for the prevention of postpartum depression - provided by midwives in residential postpartum care facilities. Seven midwives consented to participate in the study, which was conducted through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Qualitative inductive analysis resulted in the extraction of the following seven categories for psychological care: “accepting and acknowledging the individual with respect and receptivity”, “touching the body to promote physical and mental recovery and rest”, “waiting without trying to elicit information and listening through care”, “reviewing the delivery”, “providing parenting counseling and guidance according to the needs of the mother and family members”, “talking about the relationship with the mother’s mother and partner”, and “providing ongoing and collaborative support in a planned manner”.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
産後ケア事業は開始から間もなく、助産師が行っている心理的ケアについてはほとんど調査されていない。このため、本研究において初めて宿泊型産後ケア施設において助産師が行う産後うつ予防を含む心理的ケアを明確にした意義は大きい。普段、何気なく実施している心理的ケアを具体的に言語化したことで、今後は意図的な実践が積み重ねられ、産後うつ予防に貢献することができる。
