Abstract
In postpartum period, mothers are confronted with needs and concerns that influence the way they experience this phase while adapting to their new role. Objective: to identify maternal needs and concerns, in the first postpartum year, contributing to sustained nursing practices. Methods: Systematic literature review. The research, carried out at ESBCOhost, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, OAIster and RCAAP, between 2016-2020, full text, in Portuguese/English/Spanish, included 20 articles whose methodological quality was assessed through the Critical Apraisal Skills Program or Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Results: Six categories of maternal needs emerged, namely the need for physical and psychological recovery, to develop skills and confidence to care for the newborn, the need for information, for a satisfactory conjugal and sexual life, for family and social support and health professionals’ support. Conclusions: Midwives must diagnose maternal concerns and build a personalized care plan, centered on woman/couple/family, to respond to them, reinforcing maternal competence. It is suggested the development of postpartum recovery programs and home visits to meet maternal needs.
