Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of mother-infant contact deprivation on maternal sadness and maternal adaptation. The research is a randomized controlled experimental study. The intervention group consisted of mothers who had vaginal births or cesarean deliveries with epidural/spinal anesthesia (n: 198), while the control group included mothers who had cesarean deliveries under general anesthesia (n: 99). In the intervention group, mother-infant skin-to-skin contact was ensured within the first 10 minutes after birth. No intervention was made with the mothers in the control group. Both groups were assessed within the first 48 hours postpartum using the Mother-Infant Contact Barrier Scale, and on the 14th day postpartum, the Postpartum Self-Evaluation Scale and the Postpartum Maternal Sadness Evaluation Scale were administered to compare the results.
