我们采用定性描述的方法来探讨和描述社会经济弱势（sed）产后妇女在出院后的头4周的处境经历。采用定性内容分析对24例SED产后妇女进行深度访谈。两个相互交织的总体主题出现了：(a)他们日常生活的持续负担，以及贫困和物质剥夺的子主题，通过公开审查生活而受到的耻辱，以及不稳定的社会支持；以及(b)适应婴儿到来带来的变化的持续斗争，以“最初几周很艰难”、“感觉失控”、“在家没有帮助”、“与婴儿父亲的复杂关系”和“健康和福祉”为次要主题，了解SED妇女的处境对于制定真正满足其需求的卫生政策和服务至关重要。
We used a qualitative descriptive approach to explore and describe the situated experiences of socioeconomically disadvantaged (sed) postpartum women in the first 4 weeks after hospital discharge. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze the data from in-depth interviews with 24 SED postpartum women. Two intertwining, overarching themes emerged: (a) the ongoing burden of their day-to-day lives, with subthemes of poverty and material deprivation, stigmatization through living publicly examined lives, and precarious social support; and (b) the ongoing struggles to adjust to changes that came with the baby's arrival, with subthemes of "the first weeks were hard," "feeling out of control," "absence of help at home," "complex relationship with the baby's father," and "health and well-being," knowledge of SED women's situated experiences is vital to the development of health policies and services that will truly meet their needs.
