“…But the findings of this study are in agreement with the results of the previous studies [28,34,48,49] and the reason for this difference could be that the care and education that mothers receive, as well as the massage of the baby's body by the mother, have an impact on the increase of mother-baby attachment. Karbandi et al (2015) in their research reported a low attachment rate after birth [27], which was not consistent with the results of the present study. The reason for this disparity can be due to the type of tool used in their study, which is different from the tool used in the present study.…”

Childbirth is one of the most important experiences in the life of mothers, which can bring tensions and worries due to physical and psychological changes. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the amount of support and control during childbirth and attachment after birth in mothers who were referred to comprehensive health centers in Bijar County, in 2019. In this descriptive-analytical study, the studied population consisted of all the mothers who were referred to the comprehensive health centers of Bijar, who had passed 28 days after giving birth. The participants in the study were available to choose and completed the questionnaires for support and control during childbirth and attachment after birth. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software version 22 and multiple regression statistical tests, and a significance level of p<0.05 was considered. The results of the study showed that the level of support and control during childbirth was 83.32±17.038 and the level of attachment after birth was 47.70±4.688. Also, the results of the study showed that none of the investigated demographic variables were related to support and control during childbirth. The type of delivery (vaginal delivery with episiotomy r=-2.226, p=0.012) and the baby's gender (r=9.927, p=0.047) were related to support and control during delivery. Also, the results showed that among the demographic variables examined with attachment after birth, the variable of income (equal to monthly expenses r=6.307, p=0.01) had a positive and significant relationship with attachment after birth. The findings showed that support and control are at a moderate level and attachment after birth is at an average level, so it seems that with the necessary training on the importance of mother and child attachment to medical personnel, an effective step can be taken to improve these two factors and their consequences.

“…Coping can help mothers reduce stress so they can show maternal behavior, namely good caring abilities (Rossman et al, 2017). Using efficient coping will regulate emotions, reduce the adverse effects of stress due to premature birth, and increase the ability to interact with the baby and the physical and mental health of the mother (Karbandi et al, 2018). Understanding the coping mechanisms used by mothers of premature babies is the cornerstone of choosing the best approach for mothers to build effective health worker and patient relationships.…”

Background: Mothers with premature babies have higher stress levels than mothers with full-term babies and experience barriers to becoming mothers, so mothers need to adjust coping strategies continuously. This research aims to correlate coping strategies and stress among mothers caring for their premature babies at home. Methods: The data collected from 188 mothers was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (Spearman test). Results: Most respondents are in the moderate stress category (70.2%). The three coping strategies used by mothers, namely praying, getting closer to the baby, and accepting the situation, were mostly in the good category (94.7%, 76.6%, and 68.1%), while coping for seeking support was mostly in the moderate category (60.6%). There was a correlation between coping and maternal stress (coping with prayer: p-value 0.008, coping with attachment: p-value 0.000, coping with accepting situations: p-value 0.000, and coping with seeking information: p-value 0.000). The strongest correlation was the coping strategy with accepting the situation (r = 0.561), which means that the better the coping with accepting the situation, the less stress. This study shows a correlation between mothers coping strategies and the stress of caring for premature babies at home. Conclusion: Support by health workers is crucial in developing appropriate coping strategies for mothers to reduce maternal stress when caring for premature babies at home.
