Objective:The purpose of this case report was to evaluate the effect of telehealth and postpartum care provided to a mother with maternal depression according to Watson's Theory of Human Caring during the pandemic on the improvement in the mother's emotional state and to evaluate the applicability of the model.
Methods:Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was administered to eight women who responded to the announcement made on social media, and verbal and written permission was obtained from the mother with the highest scale score. A total of six video calls were made with the mother via WhatsApp, twice a week in the first week after postnatal discharge and once a week in the next 4 weeks, in accordance with the form drawn up according to Watson's Theory of Human Caring.
Results:In this study, it was observed that home-based telehealth and postpartum care provided using Watson's Theory of Human Caring, which includes a holistic approach, was very useful, and the care provided according to the model provided a positive improvement in the emotional state of the mother with depression.
Conclusions:It was concluded that telehealth and postpartum care is useful in home-based care in extraordinary situations/quarantine conditions such as pandemic; care can also be provided in the form of telehealth service according to Watson's Theory of Human Caring to mothers with depression; and care provides positive improvement in the emotional state of mothers.
本病例报告的目的是评估在疫情期间，根据沃森关怀理论为患有产后抑郁症的母亲提供远程医疗和产后护理对改善母亲情绪状态的效果，并评估该模式的适用性。
对八位回应社交媒体公告的女性进行爱丁堡产后抑郁量表测试，并获得量表得分最高的母亲的口头和书面许可。根据根据沃森关怀理论制定的形式，通过WhatsApp与这位母亲总共进行了六次视频通话，产后出院后的第一周每周两次，接下来的四周每周一次。
在本研究中，观察到使用包含整体方法的沃森关怀理论提供的居家远程医疗和产后护理非常有用，并且根据该模式提供的护理对患有抑郁症的母亲的情绪状态有积极改善。
得出的结论是，远程医疗和产后护理在大流行等特殊情况/隔离条件下的居家护理中是有用的；也可以根据沃森关怀理论以远程医疗服务的形式为患有抑郁症的母亲提供护理；并且护理对母亲的情绪状态有积极改善。
