Maternal role development and distress following childbirth

More about the book

Focusing on the transition to motherhood, this study explores the relationship between maternal role development and maternal distress, a topic that has seen limited research. It highlights how changes in the profile of childbearing women over the past three decades necessitate a reevaluation by health professionals. The study investigates how maternal distress, characterized by worry, anxiety, or depression, impacts a woman's adaptation to motherhood, aiming to provide a clearer understanding of these dynamics.
