Core Tip

Core Tip: Primiparas are at a higher risk of experiencing postpartum depression, which can negatively affect the growth and development of their newborns owing to their limited parenting experience. This study focuses on the introduction of Internet Plus-based postpartum healthcare services to effectively improve maternal role adaptation and increase breastfeeding rates among primiparas. This approach was found to positively contribute to reducing postpartum depression and promoting neonatal growth and development.
