Özet
Objective: This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of traumatic birth perception on postpartum physical symptom severity in puerperant women. Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional research was conducted in the puerperal department of a maternity and children's hospital located in eastern Turkey. The sample of the research consisted of 604 puerperant women determined by power analysis. Research data were obtained with the Puerperant Women Description Form, the Traumatic Childbirth Perception Scale and the Postpartum Physical Symptom Severity Scale. Results: The total mean score of Traumatic Childbirth Perception Scale of puerperant women was determined as 70,05±27,29 and the total mean score of Postpartum Physical Symptom Severity Scale was 13,52±6,67. There is a weak positive correlation between the perception of traumatic birth and the severity of postpartum physical symptoms in puerperants (r=,187, p=,000). It was determined that the perception of traumatic birth in puerperant women gave normal birth and postpartum physical symptom severity in puerperant women who gave birth by cesarean section were significantly higher (p<,05). In addition, it was determined that the perception of traumatic birth decreased as age increased. Conclusion: It has been determined that the perception of traumatic birth increases the severity of physical symptoms in puerperant women. © 2024, Ataturk Universitesi. All rights reserved.
