The sample consisted of 198 women who met the research criteria. Data were collected with a descriptive information form, Postpartum Physical Symptom Severity Scale, Postpartum Attachment Scale (WHO) and Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale.
RESULTS: In the study, postpartum physical symptom severity was found to be statistically higher in mothers who were illiterate, whose income was equal to expenditure, who gave birth by emergency cesarean section, who were discharged on the 1st postpartum day and who did not receive discharge training.In the study, it was observed that there was a strong and positive relationship between the risk of postpartum depression and the postpartum attachment scale, and attachment problems increased as the risk of depression increased.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Educational status of mothers, type of delivery, number of births, planned pregnancy, postpartum discharge education and feeding style of the baby affect postpartum physical symptoms, postpartum depression and mother-infant attachment. In this respect, it is important to provide midwife support in reducing the severity of physical symptoms experienced by postpartum mothers, preventing depression and increasing attachment.
