The interpersonal relationship shows more effectiveness in prevention of postpartum problems unlike online information. Furthermore, relation cost-benefit is positive, because home visit costs are lower than costs of neonates’ readmission. However, further research is needed to understand the importance of home visit in puerperium. |
