Abstract

|
Objectives : This study aims to assess the maternal characteristics and changes of body among patients who received Korean medicine postpartum care compared to pre-study.
Methods : From January 1, 2018 to February 28, 2019, we included 31 postpartum patients who had body composition analysis at admission and discharge among 34 patients who received postpartum care in □□ University Hospital. We used SPSS 21.0 for window to test for statistical significance.
Results : The average age, weight, and caesarean section rate of mothers increased compared to previous study. The average postpartum care period has decreased. After postpartum care, abdominal circumference, body weight and BMI of mothers was significantly decreased, but not as much as pre-study. The coefficient of determination was derived to predict the effects of postpartum care and calculated as "Abdominal circumference change = 2.745+0.593×admission period", "weight change = 0.214+0.345×admission period" and "BMI change = 0.198+0.120×admission period".
Conclusions : Compared to previous study, the weight loss after childbirth decreased as the maternal age increased and admission period decreased. It is necessary to provide individual treatment through coefficient of determination.
