The objective of the review is to explore and understand the postpartum experiences of birthing people and their families during COVID-19.
Positive postpartum experiences are formative for the long-term health and well-being of parents and babies. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has complicated the transition to parenthood and existing postpartum challenges through evolving policies and practices, including visiting limitations, masking requirements, and reduced accessibility of supports. Understanding the impact of COVID-19 on the postpartum experiences of women, birthing people (people who give birth but may not identify as women), and their families through the synthesis of qualitative evidence can help inform public health and government directives in comparable future contexts.
Studies including women, birthing people, and their families who experienced postpartum during the COVID-19 pandemic will be considered. This review will include studies published after January 2020 that explore postpartum experiences up to 1 year following birth. We will examine qualitative data, including, but not limited to, research designs such as phenomenology, ethnography, grounded theory, feminist research, and action research.
The following databases will be searched: MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), PsycINFO (Ovid), and LitCovid. PsyArXiv and Google Scholar will be searched for gray literature. Studies will be assessed and appraised independently by 2 reviewers and disagreements will be resolved through discussion or with a third reviewer. Data extraction will be completed by 2 reviewers. The JBI tools and resources will be used for assessing confidence and meta-aggregation, including the creation of categories and synthesized findings.

本次综述旨在探索和了解 COVID-19 期间分娩者及其家庭的产后体验。
积极的产后体验对父母和婴儿的长期健康和幸福至关重要。然而，COVID-19 大流行通过不断变化的政策和实践，包括探访限制、口罩要求以及支持服务的减少，使向父母身份的过渡以及现有的产后挑战变得更加复杂。通过综合定性证据来了解 COVID-19 对女性、分娩者（分娩的人，但可能不认为自己是女性）及其家庭的产后体验的影响，可以为类似的未来情况提供公共卫生和政府指令方面的信息。
将考虑纳入在 COVID-19 大流行期间经历产后阶段的女性、分娩者及其家庭的研究。本次综述将包括自 2020 年 1 月后发表的研究，以探索分娩后 1 年内的产后体验。我们将检查定性数据，包括但不限于现象学、民族志、扎根理论、女性主义研究和行动研究等研究设计。
将在以下数据库中进行检索：MEDLINE（Ovid）、Embase（Ovid）、CINAHL（EBSCOhost）、PsycINFO（Ovid）和 LitCovid。PsyArXiv 和 Google Scholar 将用于搜索灰色文献。研究将由 2 位评审员独立评估和评价，分歧将通过讨论或由第 3 位评审员解决。数据提取将由 2 位评审员完成。将使用 JBI 工具和资源来评估信心和元聚合，包括创建类别和综合研究结果。
