“…On a personal level, mothers' postnatal sense of security is related to factors, such as previous motherhood experience (Persson & Dykes, 2009, Persson, Fridlund, Kvist, & Dykes, 2011, complications of pregnancy (Pålsson, Kvist, Ekelin, Hallström, & Persson, 2018), the physical well-being of the mother and newborn (Namey & Lyerly, 2010;Persson & Dykes, 2009), the feeling of not being alone (Melender & Lauri, 2002); autonomy, comfort, and a sense of control (Namey & Lyerly, 2010). At the family level, their sense of security is associated with factors, such as social and partner-provided support (Pålsson et al, 2018). Finally, in the healthcare context, mothers' postnatal sense of security is associated with prenatal care (Pålsson et al, 2018), the support received from healthcare professionals, and the consistency of information provided (Persson & Dykes, 2009;Persson et al, 2011).…”
