SUMMARY

OBJECTIVE:

This study aimed to determine the relationship of the prenatal psychosocial profile with postpartum maternity duties and newborn care.

METHODS:

This descriptive and correlational study was conducted on 154 pregnant women.

RESULTS:

It was determined that pregnant women had low-stress levels, high social support from their husbands and other people, and moderate self-esteem. Participants relying on power in coping with maternity duties in the postpartum period and satisfaction with maternity and newborn care were found to be high.

CONCLUSION:

Adaptation to the postpartum period facilitates the transition to maternity and increases satisfaction with newborn care.

KEYWORDS:
