Healthcare professionals should be vigilant about maternal pain changes and individual experiences, implement targeted measures and support, aid in alleviating psychological burdens, boost maternal confidence in childbirth, and enhance postpartum quality of life.Patient Or Public ContributionIn this study, interviews were conducted in the hospital outpatient department, and the participants included in this study participated in the interviews to provide support for the implementation of this subject.© 2023 Yang and Li.
