Background The utilization of Continuum of care (CoC) is problematic in Indonesia. The inconsistency of CoC and the referral turning did not work make it difficult to measure the quality of care after EmCS. CbHEP is a package service care with caring action during in hospital and CoC through home visit on 1st, 2nd and 6th week after delivery.

Aim: To reduce the pain, depression and increase the breastfeeding self-efficacy.

Method used one group quasi-experiment and time series posttest-only design, with 50 participants during three months. The inclusion criteria of the participants must be a primiparous, have had EmCS, vital signs are stable after EmCS, can speak and read well in Bahasa and participants must be residents in Maumere district, Nusa Tenggara Timur, Indonesia.

Result indicates the maternal age for adolescent mothers (<25 yo) are 56% and adult mothers (≥26 yo) are 44%. The mean of the depression and pain for young and adult mothers decreased over time and per succeeding home visit, and for the level of breastfeeding self-efficacy increase. The level of depression (P-value 0.000) and pain (P-value 0.000) were significantly decreased on the 3rd day in the hospital, 1st, 2nd and 6th week’s home visit. The breastfeeding self-efficacy is significantly increased (P-value 0.000). The maternal age is not significant to the level of depression, and  breastfeeding self-efficacy (P-value> 0.05).

Conclusion the implementation of the CbHEP is an effective program for CoC, and recommends using the referral turning system from hospital to Community Health Centre (PUSKESMAS). The program must be continued after discharge with home visits on the first, second and sixth weeks after giving birth in collaboration with the community health nurses.
