ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
It is known that experiences related to childbirth can have not only physical but also psychological and behavioral consequences. However, in the current literature, there are no studies that comprehensively address the multidimensional effects of these experiences on perceptions of obstetric violence, maternal grief, and breastfeeding success.
OBJECTIVES:
This study was designed to determine the effect of mothers' experiences of childbirth on obstetric violence, maternal blues, and breastfeeding success.
METHODS:
This cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational study was conducted with 546 mothers who had vaginal births at an Education and Research Hospital in Eastern Anatolia. Data were collected using the "Personal Information Form," "Obstetric Violence Scale," "Stein Maternal Blues Scale," and "LATCH Breastfeeding Assessment Tool."
RESULTS:
The mean obstetric violence score was 52.7±7.38, the maternal blues score was 7.99±5.16, and the LATCH score was 7.95±2.19. Significant differences were found between the time of first contact with the baby, breastfeeding duration, reasons for delayed breastfeeding, and measurement results. A weak negative correlation was found between obstetric violence and maternal blues. Conclusion: Mothers who see their babies late after birth and are unable to breastfeed perceive more obstetric violence. Maternal blues were more common in mothers who gave birth to male babies. Mothers who had early first contact, breastfed within the first 30 minutes, and breastfed for a long time had higher breastfeeding success rates.
CONCLUSIONS:
Mothers who see their babies late after birth and are unable to breastfeed perceive more obstetric violence. Maternal blues were more common in mothers who gave birth to male babies. Mothers who had early first contact, breastfed within the first 30 minutes, and breastfed for a long time had higher breastfeeding success rates.
KEY MESSAGE:
Mothers' experiences of childbirth were found to influence obstetric violence, maternal blues, and breastfeeding success. Poster session 2 (Group A)
