“…For mothers, higher stress related to parenting competence was correlated with greater risk of delay in personal-social development. A lack of perceived competence would be expected for the first-time parents in our study for numerous reasons, including: (a) feeling that some things were out of their control such as having a late preterm infant in NICU (Song, Kim, & Ahn, 2015): and (b) feeling that their parenting role was not rewarding (Nakamura et al, 2015). For many first-time mothers, becoming a parent decreased their feelings of competence and increased their stress related to managing day-to-day problems and coping with more challenges than they experienced before becoming mothers (De Caroli & Sagone, 2014).…”

Parenting stress has been linked to child development issues in early preterm infants, but less is known about its effects on development in infants born late preterm. We examined relationships between parenting stress of 108 mothers and 108 fathers and development of late preterm infants born at 34 0/7 to 36 6/7 weeks gestation. At 4 months corrected age, mothers and fathers completed the Parenting Stress Index (PSI‐3); mothers were primary caregivers in almost all families and completed the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ‐2) on child development. Mothers reported significantly more stress than fathers on the PSI‐3 Parent Domain. PSI‐3 subscale scores from the Child Domain were significant predictors of mother‐reported infant development as measured by the ASQ‐2 in regression models: Reinforces Parent predicted Gross Motor, Mood predicted Communication, and Acceptability predicted Communication, Fine Motor, Problem Solving, and Personal ‐Social development scale scores. Experiences of parenting stress differed for mothers and fathers. Further research is required on specific dimensions of parenting stress related to development of late preterm infants.

The purpose of this study was to identify the influencing factors on maternal role adjustment among the primiparous women in the first year after childbirth. Methods: The study subjects were 210 healthy primiparous women who have delivered at one of four women's health hospitals and revisited the outpatient department for the routine checkup and baby's vaccination during the first year after childbirth. Data were collected by a self-report questionnaire which consisted of general characteristics, maternal role adjustment, spousal rearing support, childcare stress, and postpartum depression. Collected data were analyzed by using the SPSS Win 18.0 program with descriptive statistics, t-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression. Results: The maternal role adjustment was significantly correlated with spousal rearing support (r=.649, p<.001), childcare stress (r=-.596, p<.001), postpartum depression (r=-.569, p<.001), and subjective health condition (r=.204, p=.003). The multiple regression analysis showed that the maternal role adjustment were significantly affected by spousal rearing support (t=6.542, p< .001). childcare stress (t=-3.268, p=.001), and postpartum depression (t=-2.238, p=.018). Conclusion: From these results, it is concluded that the nursing intervention for enhancing spousal support in childcare and decreasing the childcare stress and depression should be developed for improving maternal role adjustment in the first time mother, especially within one year after childbirth.

“…This study is the only interventional study that investigates postpartum stress with the help of specialized tools and based on stresses associated with child care, concerns related to physical health problems of women, and social support. The result of meta-analysis performed by Song et al suggest that other intervention studies have primarily measured stress in general and with the help of Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and parental stress scale (9,33).…”

“…Maybe the supportive dimension of the present intervention provided in the form of going to women's living area, providing postpartum video, training newborn care (diapers, bathing, feeding, etc), providing 24-hour contact for experienced midwife, which has been less noted in other studies, has helped to reduce stress. The results of the meta-analysis performed by Song et al showed that psychosocial interventions in general and support programs, specifically, are effective for women to cope with postpartum stress (33). Another important point that has increased the effectiveness of intervention is probably implementation of intervention at home and in the presence of the spouse.…”

IntroductionThe postpartum period is one of the important transitional phases in women's life (1). Following serious changes of delivery and transition to parenthood, primigravidas undergo significant physical, social and psychological changes (2). With important physiological and psychological changes such as adapting to changes in the body, woman face maternal role and support of certain people (3). Therefore, mother needs to adapt to new life and newborn care (4). Most of them aren't ready to take care of themselves and their baby with plentiful needs (5). During this stage of adjustment, mother experiences psychosocial social imbalances that lead to severe stress (6). The true prevalence of postpartum stress among women is unknown, but studies show that 10% to 15% of women are affected by mental issues including depression, anxiety and stress after delivery (7). Webb et al showed that 69% of women have at least one physical complaint after childbirth (8). Based on the results, 25.71% to 32.38% of women have mild mental disorders during the first 6 weeks after delivery (9) and, in some studies; this figure has even reached up to 44.4% (10). In Iran, 47.5% of nulliparous women and 67.1% of multiparous are not in a good mental health status (11) and 32% of women experience postpartum stress disorder after delivery (12). Overall, postpartum stress in Iranian women is higher than other countries and is inversely related to social protection (13). Many diseases and problems of women in this period are related to stress or their inability to cope with changes (14). Stress can be a component of any disease. Therefore, understanding the stressors and improving the capacity of the person to be compatible with them is very important (3).Episiotomy and perineal pain, back pain, breast swelling and pain, incontinence, constipation, fatigue, sleep problems and breast problems are the most important physical stressors and the pressure to return to pre-pregnancy weight, sexual changes, concerns about the maternal role, problems regarding the infant (e.g., feeding, crying, care, bathing, unpredictable behaviors of the baby, sucking, neonatal jaundice, sleep disorders, flatulence, inadequate weight gain, eye infection and umbilical infection), relationships with partners and lack of social support are psychological stressors (15-17). Baby care, sexual relationships, self-care, family planning and mental health are women's concerns and educational needs in the postpartum period (18). Based on the analysis of various factors, Hung et al found that three factors of maternal role attainment, lack of social support and physical changes are important in the occurrence of postpartum stress (5).Postpartum stresses are determinants of women's health and even threaten child-parent relationship and child AbstractObjectives: Planned interventions can facilitate the maternal role for primiparous women by reducing postpartum stress. The present study aims to determine the effect of home-based supportive-educational counseling on primigravi...
