Comparison of the effect of postpartum care education through virtual and face-to-face education on women's satisfaction rate

A clinical trial with a control group with randomized parallel groups,on 108 participants who used block design metho, in the face-to-face training group; During the initial care (days 1-3), the trainings will be done individually and include all the usual puerperium care, and at the end of the trainings, an educational pamphlet will be provided to the samples

The content that presented in the intervention and control groups include routine postpartum recommendations; Which is based on the common problems of puerperium per week. In this study, the research environment is Shahrivar 17 and Abuzar Health Center in Ahvaz

Inclusion criteria,To give birth to a lively, healthy and term baby in a Normal Vaginal Delivery Single baby,Ability to work with PowerPoint training software and access WhatsApp and messenger,Do not take antidepressants or other specific medications during pregnancy and after childbirth,Have the ability to read and write ,Exclusion criteria,Cases leading to hospitalization, infant death or need for neonatal intensive care,History of depression or other specific illnesses,Having speech and hearing problems

Intervention groups using block design randomization method (6 blocks of 3) are divided into three groups of virtual and face-to-face training and control group, in face-to-face training group; During the initial care (days 1-3), the trainings will be done individually and include all the usual puerperium care, and at the end of the trainings, an educational pamphlet will be provided to the samples.

satisfaction

The size of the statistical sample is estimated based on statistical calculations of 108 people. Using block design randomization method (6 blocks of 3) and using a table of random numbers, sampling is done. In general, the samples are divided into three groups: virtual and face-to-face training and control group. A total of 36 people in the control group; And 36 people receive virtual training and 36 people receive face-to-face training over a period of 6 weeks. Thus, the samples were randomly divided into three intervention groups (including virtual training group and face-to-face training group) and control group. Thus, all possible modes for placing the letters A (virtual training), B (face-to-face training) and C (control group) in 6 blocks with a 1: 1 allocation ratio were considered and the required number of blocks based on the number of samples The case study was identified.Then, according to the required number of blocks and based on the table of random numbers, the blocks related to each table number were listed, respectively. Finally, when the samples were included in the study, each person took a specific letter in the order obtained. For example, according to the order (ABCACB \ BACBCA \ CABCBA), the seventh person was in the intervention group (A).In order to hide random allocation, the method of opaque sealed envelopes with random sequence was used. In this method, first, a random sequence was created by a table of random numbers and based on the sample size of the research (108 people), 108 opaque envelopes were prepared (in order not to clarify the contents of the envelope). Each random sequence created by a person who was unaware of the purpose and subject of the study was recorded on a card and the cards were placed in envelopes in order. In order to maintain a random sequence, the envelopes were numbered in the same way on the outer surface.Finally, the lids of the envelopes were glued and placed in a box, respectively. At the beginning of the sampling, the researcher, based on the order of entry of eligible participants into the study, one of the envelopes was opened in order and the specialized group of the participant was revealed. The person evaluating the outcomes and the person analyzing.
