Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate of relationship betweenfear levels of birth and parenting behaviors of mothers in early postpartum periods and to determine some demographic factors that affected this. Materials and Method:The study is a cross-sectional study carried out on 500 women in the Sakarya Training and Research Hospital Postpartum Service between January and April 2019.Student T test, One Way Anova and Pearson Correlation Analysis were performed with the help of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) program. Statistical significance was accepted as p<0.05. Results:The age of the study group ranged from 17 to 44, with a mean of 27.72 ± 6.10 years. The mean score obtained from the Maternal Attachment Scale was 98.17 ± 6.02, and the mean score obtained from the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support was 64.88 ± 17.90. A positive correlation was found between maternal attachment levels of mothers and perceived social support (r=0.145; p=0.001). Conclusions:It was determined that many factors such as socioeconomic status, delivery process, time to take the baby and worry about baby care were effective in maternal attachment. Also, a significant correlation was found between maternal attachment of mothers and perceived social support.

The relationship of social support perceived by mothers and fathers and dyadic adjustment with maternal and paternal attachment in the postpartum period

“…According to the present findings, the mothers received support mostly from their families and their perceived social support level was moderate (median score = 64; minimum–maximum = 27–84). Similar studies examining the social support received by mothers in the postpartum period in Turkey reported that support was mostly provided by families and the perceived social support level was moderate, similar to the present findings (Çınar et al., 2015; Engin & Kuzlu Ayyıldız, 2021; Özdemir et, al., 2020). In traditional societies such as Turkey, where the perception of motherhood is sacred and having a baby is desired by family elders, the perceived family support of mothers increases in the postpartum period.…”

“…In the present study, maternal attachment level (median MAI score = 102; minimum–maximum = 92–104) was high in parallel with other studies in the literature (Ertekin Pınar & Polat, 2019; Özdemir et al., 2020). The paternal attachment level of the fathers was high based on the PPAQ scale (median PPAQ score = 83.9; minimum–maximum = 57.7–94).…”

“…In a randomized control study conducted with 330 women in Iran, women with family support had high levels of attachment (Tabrizi & Nournezhad, 2018). This support, which mothers receive from their families, provides emotional and cognitive relief, enables them to adapt to the role of motherhood, and increases the level of maternal attachment (Özdemir et al., 2020; Tabrizi & Nournezhad, 2018). In order to increase the level of maternal attachment in the postpartum period, it is important to evaluate the perceived social support levels of mothers and to make effective interventions.…”

Level of Maternal Attachment and Associated Factors in Mothers of Infants with Congenital Heart Anomaly: A Descriptive, Cross-Sectional Study

“…tarafından doğum sonrası dönemde olan 500 anne ile yürütülen çalışmada ise gelir durumu yüksek olan kadınlarda maternal bağlanma düzeyinin de yüksek olarak saptanması çalışma bulgusu ile paralellik göstermektedir. 18,25,26 Çalışmada KKH olan bebeğe sahip annelerin doğumdan sonra bebeği ilk kucağa alma zamanı değişkeni ile Maternal Bağlanma Ölçeği puan ortalaması arasındaki farkın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu, farkın ise bebeğini ilk 30 dk'da kucağına alan annelerden kaynaklandığı görüldü (Tablo 1). Doğum sonrası dönemde bebek ile ten tene teması en erken süre içerisinde gerçekleştirebilen annelerin bebek ile ilk tanışma evresinde olumlu etkileşim sağlayabildikleri, şefkatli davranış gösterebildikleri dolayısıyla maternal bağlanma düzeylerinin daha yüksek olduğu düşünülebilir.…”

Investigation of the Relationship between Women's Perceived Social Support and Maternity Function

“…14 Farklı çalışma sonuçlarına bakıldığında, gelir düzeyi arttıkça algılanan sosyal destek puanının arttığı, aynı zamanda anne bebek bağlanmasının olumlu etkilendiği ifade edilmiştir. 15,16 Gelir düzeyinin yüksek olması ya da geliri giderine eşit olmak, kadının sosyal destek aldığı bireylerin ekonomik kaygı düzeylerinin düşük ya da orta düzeyde olduğunu düşündürebilir. Ekonomik kaygı düzeylerinin yüksek olmaması bu önemli yaşam olayına odaklanmalarını kolaylaştırabilir, dolayısıyla kadının beklentilerine yönelik istendik düzeyde destek verebilecekleri anlamına gelebileceği şeklinde yorumlanabilir.…”
