Abstract

Purpose: For the importance of the postpartum period not only for the women delivered of child but also the newborn babies, the multitude of health professionals have emphasized increasingly special care during this period. However, there has been no decisional consensus both in the concepts and the ways of postpartum cares between health professionals and non-professionals. In this study, we explored the ethnical and racial diversities concerning postpartum period focusing on their beliefs and practices. Methods: Literature review was used as main research method for topic of the study. To carry out the method, papers related with postnatal care were searched at the Pubmed, the Korea Education & Research Information Service. Results: 1. Differences between Western and non-Western cultures in terms of postnatal care were found out in the study. 2. The study has proved that non-Western cultures have shared the similar beliefs and practices in postnatal care, although some ethnical and racial diversities specially in duration for care and diets for mother etc. 3. It was found that most prominent similarities among non-Western cultures in postnatal care have centered mainly on the issues such as 'Hot and Cold balance', postnatal confinement etc. Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, it should be suggested that the health professionals do their efforts in understanding deeply the intrinsic diversities on the beliefs and the practices about postnatal care and providing the adequate services and cares reflecting them properly.
