BACKGROUND: In Oman, there is a lack of data on utilisation, needs and women's satisfaction with care and information provided during postnatal follow-up period.
AIM: To investigate postnatal follow-up care utilisation and women's needs; level of postnatal information received and satisfaction with services.
METHODS: A purposive sample of women (n = 500), recruited in the immediate postnatal period at one metropolitan and one regional birthing hospital in Oman. An electronic survey link was sent to participants at 6-8 weeks postnatally. Quantitative variables were analysed as frequencies and chi-squared test.
RESULTS: A total of 328 completed surveys were received; a response rate of 66 %. Most respondents were located in the metropolitan area (n = 250) and between 20 and 39 years (n = 308). Utilisation was low as women reported no need or no benefit in attending. Women's information needs were not sufficiently met by HCPs, requiring women to seek information from family and the internet to meet their needs. Satisfaction with services was mostly neither satisfied nor dissatisfied (30 %) or satisfied (30 %).
CONCLUSION: Postnatal follow-up care utilisation in both metropolitan and regional areas is less than optimal and not utilised as there was no advice to attend or no appointment date/time given, no benefit experienced previously, no need and information needed sourced from family or the internet. The information provided by postnatal follow-up care consumers can be used to enhance service delivery, inform future updates to the national maternity care guidelines, and provides a baseline for future evaluation and research.
