Résumé : |
Objective: Perineal trauma is common, impacting up to 85 per cent of women. Although levels of infection and dehiscence appear to be low, lesser morbidity and pain occur in 90 per cent of women. This review aimed to explore the experiences of women in postnatal perineal wound care in the two months following birth in community settings.
Method: A systematic literature review was carried out across eight databases. Once empirical studies were identified, a thematic analysis was undertaken of five studies carried out in the UK and Sweden. Findings: An overall theme of 'expectations' emerged, with three sub-themes of: achieving normality; information provision; and communicating needs. The review found an impact on quality of life following perineal trauma, compounded by a systematic deficit in information provision and professional support in community settings. Ultimately, women were unsure about the realities of postnatal wound healing. |
