Tiivistelmä
Postpartum psychosis (PP) is a psychiatric condition that affects women shortly after child delivery. The condition presents in form of mood disorders, mania, insomnia, and hallucination. Factors that increase the risk for the condition include a history of psychiatric illness, primiparity, among others. If not properly managed, PP can lead to complications such as problems with mother-baby bonding and can endanger both mother and baby. Despite the seriousness if the symptoms, the condition is very rarely discussed in nursing teaching. Hence there is a need to increase the awareness among future nurses about the condition and the roles nurses play in its management. Nurses are the professionals of interest due to the close relationship they have with mothers throughout the perinatal period.
The purpose of this thesis is to design an educational poster about the main nursing interventions in Postpartum Psychosis care for nursing students of Laurea University of Applied Sciences (Laurea UAS). The research thesis aims to increase the knowledge of the nursing intervention and roles of nurses in Postpartum Psychosis Care among Nursing Students. This thesis is a Learning by Developing project; a functional thesis to design an educational poster on the nursing interventions in PP care. The poster was designed using PowerPoint as the graphic tool for the design. The poster is to be placed in the Nursing workshop room in Laurea University of Applied Sciences (Laurea UAS), Tikkurila Campus. The poster designed was evaluated by final year Degree Nursing Students of Laurea UAS. The results of the evaluation obtained from 13 respondents; 82% of the participants responded that the poster was very self-explanatory, while 58% of the respondents said that the poster improved their knowledge of PP (fairly) well. The researcher hopes that the poster serves as an easily accessible teaching tool of the PP for nursing students especially in Laurea UAS.
