dc.description.abstractThis project explored the needs of mothers beyond the immediate postnatal period in Queensland, Australia, for the development of improved models of care. Data were collected through group and individual interviews. A qualitative methodology using thematic analysis captured the experience of 58 participants. Four key themes were generated: Caring for self, Being connected, Getting direction and Having options. Being connected with care providers and peers was highly valued by participants as was having a sense of direction. Having a relationship with a carer who knew them personally throughout pregnancy and postnatal care avoided retelling stories and facilitated information sharing. Relationship-based care enabled mothers to better meet their personal needs necessary to fulfil the parenting role. Yet, many points of disconnect were identified including inconsistencies in information and gaps in care. These findings demonstrate a range of unmet needs, situated within a lack of relational continuity. Maternity and child health professionals, service managers and policy makers must reorient systems by listening, acknowledging and keeping the voice of mothers at the centre of care.-
