Maternal Care Patterns

Purpose of the research: This study aimed to examine the effects of individualized care and counseling given to mothers in the first trimester after birth on maternal attachment, maternal self-efficacy and maternal function. In this context, the hypotheses of the research are as follows: 1. Individualized care and counseling does not have a significant effect on the level of maternal attachment. 2. Individualized care and counseling does not have a positive effect on mothers\' self-efficacy perceptions. 3. Individualized care and counseling does not have a significant effect on the gain of maternal function. The study consists of experimental and control groups. The mothers of the experimental group will be interviewed in the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 12th postpartum weeks, and various surveys will be administered through counseling. Control group mothers will not be given any training or counseling by the researcher other than the standard care and services offered in the hospital. The measurement tools applied to the experimental group mothers will be simultaneously applied to the control group mothers.

This study is being conducted to determine if a multi-level intervention for delivering maternity care can improve patient trust and engagement among Black birthing people.
