Experience with and amount of postpartum maternity care: Comparing women who rated the care they received from the maternity care assistant as 'good' or 'less than good care'

We conclude that (the postpartum) MCA care is well utilised, and highly rated by most women. Implications for practice:The approach to care in the Netherlands addresses the needs as outlined by NICE and WHO. Although no data exists around the impact of use on maternal infant outcomes, this approach might be useful in other jurisdictions. MCA care might be improved if the hours of MCA care were tailored, and care by multiple MCAs minimised.
