Abstract:
Objective:To search, evaluate, and summarize evidence regarding strategies to promote pelvic floor muscle contraction (PFMC) function in postpartum women, providing a basis for clinical practice.Methods:A comprehensive search was conducted in computer decision support systems, guideline websites, relevant professional association websites, and English and Chinese databases for evidence related to strategies to promote PFMC function in postpartum women. The sources included guidelines, expert consensus, evidence summaries, systematic reviews, and original studies, with the search period from June 2014 to January 2025. Two researchers independently assessed the quality of the included articles and extracted data for the evidence summary.Results:A total of 24 articles were included: nine guidelines, five expert consensus, three evidence summaries, two systematic reviews, and five original studies. The evidence was summarized across four domains: screening and assessment, team building, intervention strategies, and outcome evaluation, resulting in 25 key pieces of evidence.Conclusions:This study summarizes the best evidence for strategies to promote PFMC function in postpartum women, providing scientific and rigorous evidence for clinical practice. It supports the development of effective training programs to enhance postpartum women's quality of life.
