Abstract

Background: Therapeutic Patient Education (TPE) has increasingly been integrated into maternal healthcare to support women during pregnancy and the postpartum period. By enhancing self-management skills and informed health behaviors, TPE may influence maternal knowledge, perceived health outcomes, and satisfaction with care. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the association between exposure to Therapeutic Patient Education (TPE) and postnatal health practices and perceived outcomes among postpartum women. Specifically, it assessed the relationship between TPE and postnatal knowledge, perceived reduction of postpartum complications, and satisfaction with postnatal care. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted among 250 postpartum women followed in several public and private hospitals in Mount Lebanon, Lebanon. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale. Exposure to TPE was assessed through self-reported participation in educational sessions during pregnancy and hospitalization. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Cronbach’s alpha to assess internal consistency, Pearson correlation coefficients, analysis of variance, and simple linear regression models. Results: Exposure to TPE was reported by 70% of participants during pregnancy and by 76% during hospitalization. Higher TPE scores were significantly associated with greater postnatal knowledge (R² = 0.505, p
