The Effectiveness of Maternity Nursing Digital Education on Postpartum Maternal Health

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of digital education in maternity nursing on improving postpartum maternal health through a qualitative approach using a literature review (library research) method. Digital education has become an important innovation in maternity nursing services, particularly during the postpartum period, which is a critical phase for mothers’ physical and psychological health. The research method was conducted by examining various scientific sources, including national and international journal articles, academic books, and relevant research reports published within the last ten years. The analysis process involved identification, classification, and synthesis of findings to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the roles, benefits, and challenges in implementing digital education for postpartum mothers. the results of the review indicate that digital maternity nursing education is effective in improving mothers’ knowledge regarding self-care, lactation management, early detection of complications, and postpartum mental health. Furthermore, the use of digital media such as health applications, educational videos, and telehealth platforms has been shown to enhance access to information, increase maternal engagement in decision-making, and improve adherence to care recommendations. However, its effectiveness is influenced by factors such as digital literacy, family support, and the availability of technological infrastructure. in conclusion, digital education in maternity nursing has significant potential to holistically support postpartum maternal health. Therefore, adaptive and needs-based implementation strategies are required to optimize its benefits in nursing practice.
