Abstract:
Background and Aim
Postpartum period is one of the vital stages in the women’s life which influences their quality of life. Instruction can influence their quality of life in this period. This study aimed to determine the effect of education on health-promoting behaviors at the postpartum period on the quality of life of primiparous women. Methods
The present controlled randomized trail study was carried out on 52 primiparous women who were randomly allocated into two groups (experimental and control). Instruction was presented for the experimental group for six weeks after childbirth. Quality of life of women between the two groups was compared by using Specific Postnatal Quality of life questionnaire at the first and sixth weeks. Data were analyzed by Chi-square and Independent T-test. Results
Results showed a significant difference between the mean score of quality of life pre-and post-intervention between the two groups (P<0. 001)، but this difference in the experimental group was more compared to the control group. Also، this difference in the 5 dimensions of quality of life (feeling about herself، baby، spouse، sexual activity، and health) in the experimental group was more compared to the control group (P<0. 001). Conclusion
The results indicated that health promoting can be effective in improving quality of life of primiparous women. Therefore، health care providers should focus on this important issue.Keywords:
