Effects of Group Prenatal Health Care Combined with Happiness Training on Delivery Mode and Maternal Role Adaptation in Elderly Primiparous Women: A Study for Improvements in Patients Health Behavior.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the effects of group prenatal health care combined with happiness training on delivery mode and maternal role adaptation in elderly primiparous women. Methods: A total of 110 elderly primiparous women who were expected to deliver in hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected and assigned to two equal size groups: Group A and Group B. Results:After the nursing intervention, the natural delivery rate of Group A was 85.45%, significantly higher than that of Group B at 52.73% (P<0.05). The initial feeding time and first lactation time of Group A were significantly shorter than those of Group B, and the 48-hour lactation volume was higher than that of Group B (P<0.05). The RAQ scores of Group A, including maternal role happiness score, the baby's impact on the mother's life score, baby's daily living care ability score, and maternal role belief score, were all higher than those of Group B (P<0.05). The GWB score of Group A was significantly higher than that of Group B, while the EPDS score was significantly lower than that of Group B (P<0.05). Conclusion: Group prenatal health care combined with happiness training can improve the delivery mode of elderly primiparous women, help them adapt better to their maternal role, and enhance their subjective sense of well-being.
