Continuous primary nursing care increases satisfaction with nursing care and reduces postpartum problems for hospitalized pregnant women.
Objective: To compare the differences in practicing continuous primary nursing care (CPNC) versus task-centered nursing care (TCNC) with regard to patient satisfaction with nursing care and early postpartum health problems for hospitalized pregnant women.
Design: All participants filled out the satisfaction with nursing care questionnaire, breastfeeding knowledge questionnaire, and early postpartum problem questionnaire.
Setting: Participants in the continuous primary nursing care group received continuous individualized primary nursing care and participants in the task-centered nursing care group received task-centered nursing care during their perinatal period.
