The lived experiences and explanation of women's postpartum sexual and reproductive health: a qualitative study.
Article in Reproductive health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDespite the significance of the postpartum period, women’s postpartum sexual and reproductive health (SRH) has been neglected. This study examines women’s perceptions and experiences of SRH in the postpartum period.
methodsThis qualitative study utilized conventional content analysis. The research was conducted in health centers in Ilam city, Iran. Purposive sampling was used to interview 17 mothers (service recipients) and six midwives (service providers) from November 5, 2022, to March 16, 2023. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using the Graneheim and Lundman approach.
resultsThe analysis of the interviews led to the emergence of four categories: marital dissatisfaction, lack of spousal and family support, psychological conflicts, and a defective health system, with 14 subcategories.
conclusionThe study results indicate that women’s postpartum SRH has been neglected due to a complex interplay of emotional, familial, and systemic factors. Women often lack a comprehensive and correct perception of their SRH needs in this period. Our findings necessitate a shift toward holistic care, including mandatory spousal education and improved psychological screening.
