Development of Mother's Postnatal Sense of Security

Abstract

Introduction: Although sense of security in mothers is not clearly specified in literature, most important factors that make it up in women that do not have issues in pregnancy are social support, prenatal health care and partner's support. Psychological factors play a key role in recognizing fear of childbirth, distinguishing anxiety from clinical depression. Recognizing risk factors and adequate intervention support would significantly reduce fear. Aim: to analyze development of mother's sense of security during the postnatal period and establish the differences between two study groups. Methods: The Cross section study was conducted in 2017 in the Public Institute for Health care Protection of Women and Maternity in Canton Sarajevo. Using random method in the study were included 395 mothers. The research instrument was PPSSinstrument and modified questionnaire. Results: Postnatal sense of security in n=395 of the mothers on average was 49, 61±7, 6. Mothers' sense of security during the first week after their child's birth differed significantly (p=0.004) between mothers whose husband actively participated in psychophysical preparation for childbirth. Development of parents sense of security is in direct connection with psycho-physical preparations of pregnant women for labor only when both partners took active part in preparations for labor. Conclusion: Postnatal sense of security in parents is a term that has not been researched enough and it requires further studies.

Previous studies have revealed that the sense of security during the first week after birth is statistically significantly greater in mothers whose husbands actively participated in psychophysical preparation for childbirth together with them [ 22 ].
