Government policy has highlighted the provision of a postnatal service that responds to women's physical, psychological, emotional and social needs. This paper presents the results of a small in-depth qualitative study that aimed to explore the views of first-time mothers with regard to the level of support they would have liked to receive from health visitors during the postnatal period, focusing on the theme of health visitor contact. Homogenous sampling was used to identify seven first-time mothers. Data was collected from semi-structured interviews and analysed using a thematic network approach. Four organising themes were identified--health visitor contact, emotional adjustment to motherhood, infant feeding and other support. Although the first-time mothers valued the postnatal support provided by the health visitor highly, there were varying levels of satisfaction with the frequency and pattern of health visitor contacts. The findings also raise issues about the perception of need and the value of home visiting during the postnatal period.
政府政策强调提供一项能满足女性身体、心理、情感和社会需求的产后服务。本文呈现了一项小型深入定性研究的结果，该研究旨在探讨初产妇对于她们希望在产后期间从健康访视员那里获得的支持水平的看法，重点关注健康访视员接触这一主题。采用同质抽样法确定了七名初产妇。数据通过半结构化访谈收集，并使用主题网络分析法进行分析。确定了四个组织主题——健康访视员接触、对母亲角色的情感调适、婴儿喂养及其他支持。尽管初产妇高度重视健康访视员提供的产后支持，但对健康访视员接触的频率和模式存在不同程度的满意度。研究结果还引发了关于需求认知以及产后家访价值的问题。
