* What is the impact of the chatbot-supported web-based "Postpartum Care Package" program on the postpartum health of mothers and newborns? * Does the chatbot-supported web-based "Postpartum Care Package" program increase women's accessibility and availability of postpartum care resources?

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Educational intervention

    Behavioral

    In this study, a web-based postpartum care package program supported by a chatbot will be administered to the intervention group. A pre-test will be administered to participants in the intervention group within 24-48 hours after birth. Participants in this group will be informed that they must watch the videos in the educational modules until the sixth week postpartum. Reminder messages will also be sent to participants via the website, email, and phone calls (between days 7 and 14 postpartum and week 3 postpartum). Participants who have completed the module training will be eligible for post-tests at 6 weeks postpartum and 3 months postpartum.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Postpartum Physical Symptom Severity Scale

Maternal physical health will be assessed using the Postpartum Physical Symptom Severity Scale. This four-point Likert-type scale ranges from 0 to 54, with higher scores indicating greater severity of postpartum physical symptoms.

Time frame
Pre-test/24-48 hours postpartum Post-test/6 weeks and 3 months postpartum
2

Visual Analog Scale

Mothers' physical discomfort/pain levels will be assessed using a Visual Analog Scale. The scale consists of a 10 cm horizontal line, where "0" represents no discomfort and "10" represents the most severe discomfort imaginable. Participants will be asked to mark the point on the line that best reflects their level of physical discomfort/pain during the assessment. Higher scores indicate more severe discomfort/pain.

Time frame
Pre-test/24-48 hours postpartum Post-test/6 weeks and 3 months postpartum
3

Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale

The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale will be used to screen for depressive symptoms in postpartum women. The scale consists of 10 items on a four-point Likert-type scale. Each item is scored from 0 to 3, and the total score ranges from 0 to 30. Higher scores indicate more depressive symptoms.

Time frame
Pre-test/24-48 hours postpartum Post-test/6 weeks and 3 months postpartum
4

Sexual Life Quality Scale

The Sexual Quality of Life Scale will be used to evaluate the impact of sexual functions on the quality of life of individuals. It assesses physical, emotional, and relational aspects of sexual well-being. This Likert-type scale consists of 18 items. Higher scores reflect better sexual quality of life, while lower scores indicate deterioration in sexual well-being.

Time frame
Pre-test/24-48 hours postpartum Post-test/6 weeks and 3 months postpartum

Secondary outcomes
