Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Postpartum depression

  The Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (The scale is a self-report scale that has one sub-scale and 10items rated on a 4-point Likert scale. The scores to be obtained from the scale range between 0 and 30. The cut-off point of the scale is 12, and women who have higher scores than the total cut-off point are considered to be in the risk group.)

  6 weeks (Test 1: first 24 hours of the postpartum period, Test 2: between the 30th and 42nd days of postpartum period)

• Postpartum adaptation

  The Postpartum Self-Assessment Scale ((The scale aims to assess the adaptation of women in the postpartum period to maternity. The scale has 82 items rated on a 4-point Likert scale and has seven sub-scales with 10 to 13 items in each. These sub-scales are the quality of the relationship between partners, partners' perception of participation in childcare, gratification with the labor experience, satisfaction with life situations and circumstances, confidence in the ability to cope with the tasks of motherhood, satisfaction with motherhood, and infant care, and support for the maternal role from friends and other family members. The scores to be obtained from the scale range between 82 and 328. Lower scores indicate good compatibility in that area.)
