• Interventions: Behavioral: Maternal Attachment Inventory Score

• Registration Number: NCT04396509
• Lead Sponsor: Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Training and Research Hospital

Brief Summary

To evaluate the effects of gestational age and other factors on maternal attachment relationship. There are different results in studies examining the effects of birth type on postpartum depression and mother-infant interaction. The aim of this study was to evaluate factors which affected mother-infant bond (MIB) using maternal attachment inventory (MAI).

Detailed Description

The Maternal Attachment Inventory (MAI) measure maternal love attachment (9). Muller tested the MAI questions in two phases; maternal adaptation and maternal attachmentEach item is evaluated by a 4-way to 26-point Likert-type scale ranging from "always" to "never".
