The needs for the home care of postpartum mothers and their infants are increasing, but the quality control of home care nurses is not developed yet. The objective of this study is to develop assessment - intervention algorithms for the home care of postpartum mothers and their infants. We can use these algorithms when we assess the client's condition, and find appropriate nursing interventions. Also, these algorithms can offer guidelines for home care nurses, so that standardization of home care can be attained. Common problems for postpartum mothers are postpartum hemorrhage, abnormal vaginal discharge(endometritis), episiotomy pain, breast problems, breastfeeding difficulty, edema, urinary dysfunction and defecation difficulties. Also, commom problems for infants are abnormal body temperature, tarchycardia, respiratory problem, neonatal jaundice, cord problem, abnormal stool, breast feeding, and bathing.
