ARC FPNC pre and post intervention data

The study aims to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and sustainability of the family-led postnatal care model. Family-led postnatal care is a self-care innovation for postnatal women and newborns during their first week of life. In the model, a midwife or nurse invites family members to attend the discharge and assesses the mother and newborn using a pictorial checklist. The checklist is given to the families with guidance on retrieving a home care kit (containing blood pressure monitor, thermometer, and health-education booklet) from a volunteer community custodian. At home, families use the checklist and kit to assess the health of the postnatal mother and newborn for six days, returning the completed checklist and kit to the custodian afterwards. The study applied a mixed-method design drawing on cross-sectional survey.
