Contact with an individual or individuals (either professional or
volunteer) offering support which is supplementary to the standard
care offered in that setting. ‘Support’ interventions eligible
for this review could include elements such as reassurance, praise,
information, and the opportunity to discuss and to respond to the
mother’s questions, and it could also include staff training to improve
the supportive care given to women. It could be offered by
health professionals or lay people, trained or untrained, in hospital
and community settings. It could be offered to groups of women
or one-to-one, including mother-to-mother support, and it could
be offered proactively by contacting women directly, or reactively,
by waiting for women to get in touch. It could be provided faceto-
face or over the phone, and it could involve only one contact
or regular, ongoing contact over several months. Studies were included
if the intervention occurred in the postnatal period alone or
also included an antenatal component. Interventions taking place
in the antenatal period alone were excluded from this review, as
were interventions described as solely educational in nature.
