Abstract

Aim

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between marital adjustment and mothers' postpartum comfort and adjustment to the postpartum period in Turkiye.

Methods

The cross-sectional study was conducted in a public hospital in Turkey between October 2023 and 2024. The population of the study consisted of women who gave birth in this hospital between the dates of the study, and the sample consisted of 200 women (n = 200). The data were collected through face-to-face interviews using the personal information form, marital adjustment scale, postpartum comfort scale, and postpartum self-assessment scale.

Results

The mean total score of the mothers who participated in the study was 41.78 ± 7.96 on the Marital Adjustment Scale [MAS], 174.08 ± 11.80 on the Postpartum Comfort Scale (PCS), and 100.12 ± 3.62 on the Postpartum Self-Assessment Scale. It was determined that the mean total scores of the mothers with high mean total scores on the MAS were higher (186.06 ± 7.53 and 129.28 ± 5.38, respectively) than those with low mean total scores on the MAS (154.16 ± 10.83 and 96.28 ± 3.62, respectively) (p < 0.05). A strong positive correlation was found between the mothers' MAS and PCS and PSAS (r = 0.542, p = 0.000 and r = 0.234, p = 0.021, respectively).

Conclusion

In the study, it was concluded that marital adjustment increased the postpartum comfort level of mothers and their adaptation to this period.

婚姻调整与土耳其母亲产后舒适及产后适应的关系：一项横断面研究

目的本研究旨在探讨婚姻调整与土耳其母亲产后舒适及产后适应的关系。方法于2023年10月至2024年10月在土耳其一家公立医院进行横断面研究。该研究的人群包括在研究日期之间在该医院分娩的妇女，样本包括200名妇女（n = 200）。采用个人信息表、婚姻调整量表、产后舒适量表和产后自我评价量表进行面对面访谈。结果参与研究的母亲的婚姻调整量表（MAS）平均总分为41.78±7.96分，产后舒适量表（PCS）平均总分为174.08±11.80分，产后自评量表平均总分为100.12±3.62分。结果表明，平均总得分高的母亲的平均总得分（分别为186.06±7.53和129.28±5.38）高于平均总得分低的母亲（分别为154.16±10.83和96.28±3.62）（p < 0.05）。母亲的MAS与PCS、PSAS呈显著正相关（r = 0.542, p = 0.000; r = 0.234, p = 0.021）。结论婚姻调整提高了母亲的产后舒适度和对这一时期的适应程度。
