For professional problem-solving and effective decision-making, evidence-based practice is a widely accepted and appreciated approach. EBP is especially practiced in nursing, healthcare, psychology, medicine, and social services. 

The world’s population has reached eight billion in 2023 and it is expected to grow more. 

Pregnancy is a natural process, an effortful time of nine months in which a mother undergoes many changes. However, with the pleasant reward of a baby, pregnancy is a tough time period for a woman. Starting from an unstable first trimester and ending in a burdensome third trimester with delivering a baby. 

Delivering a baby is not an easy process as women have to endure a massive amount of pain. Many women suffer from hypertension, diabetes, and placenta previa; thus their pregnancy poses a high risk to the baby and mother (Wesolowska et al., 2019). During this time period, the role of an obstetric nurse and midwife is important.  

This assessment sheds light on improving communication practices among nurses to enhance their capabilities. For the management of pre- and post-neonatal issues, a discussion on evidence-based practice is important.

Communication Strategies to Encourage Diagnosis-Based Research

Pre- and post-natal care is a critical stage at which there is a need for high-response assistance from the healthcare worker’s side. Nurses have a major role in the speedy recovery of a mother right after childbirth. Women have reported restlessness, insufficient time from the midwife, and improper physical support from the healthcare workers (Peahl et al., 2020). 

Some mothers feel confused about breastfeeding and probably suffer from post-partum depression after discharge from the hospital. Childbirth is a crucial time at which a woman is feeling a lot of mixed emotions. She needs extra care from the healthcare workers and family as well. To prevent any post-natal complication and post-partum depression, obstetric nurses and midwives can play their roles. 

Before hiring, there should be detailed and proper training sessions for the recruited nurses to get their hands on the best maternal care practices. They should be taught better time management so that the baby and the mother can be dealt with simultaneously. 

At the end of every patient discharge, nurses should give their valuable feedback which should be compiled into the annual magazine of the hospital (Malouf et al., 2019). 

This section will help the new nurses and students to better understand the challenges in pre- and post-maternal care. Better communication with the delivery mother can improve the overall delivery of the services.
