Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Pre-Test Readiness for Postpartum Discharge

    Perceived Readiness for Discharge After Birth Scale-Form for New Mothers (PRDABS-FNM); This is a scale assessing the readiness for discharge by mothers' perceptions. It consists of four subdimensions and 23 items. The first item is answered dichotomously (yes/no). The items between 2 and 23 are calculated through the Likert type points ranging from 0 to 10. The subdimensions consisted of 1. Care skills, 2. Expected support; 3. Strength and ability to cope; 4. Stress control and knowledge of accessing help. The lowest and highest scores are 0 and 220. High scores indicate women's readiness for discharge.

    the pretest was applied in the first 8-12 hours in the postpartum period.

  • Pre-Test Anxiety Level

    State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI): The scale which was developed in 1970 by Spielberger, Gorsuch, and Lushene is comprised of two parts for measuring state anxiety and trait anxiety. Each part has 20 items. The STAI-State is scored as per the severity level of the emotions and behaviors (1: Not at all, 2: Somewhat, 3: Moderately so, and 4: Very much so). In the STAI-State, there are ten reverse-scored items (Items 1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16, 19, and 20). The items of the STAI-Trait are scored as per the expression frequency of the emotions and behaviors (1: Almost never, 2: Sometimes, 3: Often, and 4: Almost always). In the STAI-Trait, there are seven reverse-scored items (Items 21, 26, 27, 30, 33, 36, and 39). In the scoring, two separate keys are prepared for identifying the total weighted values of the straight-scored and reverse-scored items. These constant values are 50 and 35 respectively for the STAI-State and STAI-Trait.

    the pretest was applied in the first 8-12 hours in the postpartum period.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Post-Test Readiness for Postpartum Discharge

    the post-test was applied in the first 36-40 hours in the postpartum period.

  • Post-Test Anxiety Level

    the post-test was applied in the first 36-40 hours in the postpartum period.

Study Arms (2)

Experimental Group

EXPERIMENTAL

The mothers in the experimental group (70) were given the postpartum discharge education with PechaKucha Method.

Behavioral: The postpartum discharge education with PechaKucha Method.

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

The mothers in the control group (70) were given the routine postpartum discharge education.

Interventions

The postpartum discharge training in which the PechaKucha method was applied via the smartphones was offered to the mothers in the experimental group whereas the mothers in the control group had solely the routine discharge training. The postpartum training was offered as per the Postpartum Care Management Guideline of the Ministry of Health of Turkey. The discharge training was offered to the experimental group by using the PechaKucha presentation technique.

Model Details: The research is a single-blind randomized controlled experimental study. In view of the two groups called E and C, the total number of blocks was calculated as 20 blocks and the number of the participant mothers per block was calculated as 12 mothers, namely, 6 mothers for group E and 6 mothers for group C. Through MS Office Excel 2013, 13 numbers were randomly selected from among numbers from 1 to 20 (9, 17, 19, 4, 14, 3, 14, 1, 20, 16, 12, 8, 20, 2, and 5). By ensuring that each group has 78 mothers, a total of 156 mothers were assigned to experimental and control groups in equal numbers and homogeneously. In this context, the research was completed with the participation of 140 mothers, namely, 70 mothers in the experimental group and 70 mothers in the control group.
