Clinical Trial Summary

This study was conducted to determine the effect of baby massage on postpartum depression and maternal attachment in the postpartum period.


Description:

The transition to motherhood is one of the life stages that brings about stress and change. Primiparous mothers, who will experience motherhood for the first time due to anxiety about the unknown, may experience more stress and their communication with their babies may deteriorate. In this process, the mother's seeing, touching and interacting with her baby positively affects her perception of her baby. The easiest and most natural way to do this is baby massage. Touching and massaging the baby maintains the baby's body contact, which strengthens the baby's sense of trust and supports the mother's development of attachment behavior. It also reduces mothers' levels of stress hormones such as cortisol and relieves depressive symptoms.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Postpartum depression The Edinburgh postpartum depression scale (EPDS) was used to determine the level of postpartum depression. EPDS is a 4-point Likert-type scale consisting of 10 questions and is scored between 0-3. The total score of the scale is obtained by summing the item scores. People with a score above 12 points are considered a risk group. The lowest score is 0 and the highest score is 30.
Primiparous mothers answered before training (pretest) and postpartum 42nd day (posttest).
Postpartum 42nd day
Primary Maternal attachment The level of maternal attachment was assessed using the " The Maternal Attachment Inventory (MAI)". The inventory consists of 26 Likert type items. Each item is scored between 1 and 4. Therefore, the minimum score of the inventory is 26 and the maximum score is 104. A high score indicates high attachment to the mother.
Primiparous mothers answered on postpartum 42nd day (posttest).
Postpartum 42nd day
