Problem: In postpartum mothers seen in a clinic setting, does implementation of the fourth trimester support increase maternal feelings of support?
Intervention: This project intended to measure perceived feelings of support in mothers during the fourth trimester participating in a facilitated support program. Due to circumstances at the implantation site, this project was unable to be implemented and redesigned as a toolkit for healthcare organizations that desire to implement a fourth trimester program to improve maternal support through facilitated patient education and support groups. A pre and post-test was designed to measure participants’ feelings of support during the fourth trimester program. An outline of educational topics for support group meetings was included in the toolkit.
Measures: The toolkit for implementing clinics included a pre and post-test utilizing a five-point Likert scale to measure participants’ feelings of support post-delivery and through the fourth trimester postpartum period.
Results: Due to complications at the implementation site, this project was not implemented.
Conclusions: Fourth trimester support makes the postpartum period easier, less stressful, and more enjoyable (Lubker & Roberts, 2018). This toolkit serves clinics interested in implementing a fourth trimester support program
