Psychological factors influence maternal readiness

The study focused on the importance of mothers' mental health and its direct impact on their readiness to care for their newborn after childbirth, especially during the early days when psychological and physical challenges are most intense. The results showed that factors such as high levels of anxiety and low psychological resilience negatively affect the mother's ability to provide care, while physical pain and hemoglobin levels had a lesser impact. The study emphasized the importance of quickly assessing mothers' mental health after birth to offer the necessary support, particularly during nighttime, when psychological exhaustion is greatest, in order to prevent mental health deterioration or postpartum depression. It also indicated that breastfeeding does not necessarily mean the mother is mentally prepared, and that each postpartum experience varies from one woman to another.
