BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Birthing parents need to use specialized skills as the first caregiver of the newborn. Several factors may affect performance. Yet there is a paucity of research in this area, and evidence remains inconsistent. Consequently, this study aimed to determine maternal performance after childbirth and its predictors.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted with those (n = 450) who had given birth (< two months) and been referred for the vaccination of their newborn. The multi-stage sampling method was carried out from April 2022 to February 2023. Participants who met the inclusion criteria completed a demographic and obstetric information questionnaire, along with the childbirth experience 2 (CEQ2), Barkin maternal performance and maternal self-efficacy scales. Multiple linear regression was used to investigate the predictive effect of the independent variables of childbirth experience, maternal self-efficacy, demographic and obstetric variables on the dependent variable of maternal performance.
RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 26.78 and the mean total score of maternal performance was 91.04 (0-120). The highest and lowest scores related to the 'maternal competence' and the 'maternal needs' domains, with mean score calculated at 77.51 and 72.81 respectively. 'Childbirth experience' and 'maternal self-efficacy' domains had a statistically significant relationship with maternal performance (P < 0.05). Among the predictive factors of maternal performance, the results of our linear regression demonstrated the variables of birth experience (B = 0.63), maternal self-efficacy (B = 1.53), spouse's employment status (B = 5.78 for worker level, B = 3.99 for employee level), the number of previous childbirth experiences (B = -8.46), frequency of receiving antenatal care (B = -6.68), length of stay in the birth suite (B = -2.22) and length of stay in the hospital (B = 2.84) remained in the model. 53.2% of changes in maternal performance can be explained by these independent variables.
CONCLUSION: The promotion of evidence-based, person-centered, and respectful perinatal care during pregnancy and childbirth are of paramount importance. Strategies to improve the experience of childbirth and self-efficacy are especially required to improve maternal performance in the postpartum period. Prenatal care aimed at improving maternal function after childbirth will be important in achieving this overall.
