“…Appraisal support is a critical type of social support in increasing confidence in caring for first-time mothers' infants [36]. The instrumental social support of new mothers in urban China was primarily provided by grandparents and other family members, which could provide great comfort for postpartum women [37].…”

Purpose : Becoming a mother is a challenging journey which mixes varying levels of negative and positive affect. The predictive effect of perceived social support on positive affect in postpartum remains unknown, especially how this effect timely changes. This study aims to examine maternal role adaptation’s mediating effect on the relation among perceived social support and positive affect, and the moderating effect of the baby's months on these relations. Methods A clinical survey was conducted from June to July, 2019 in Shanghai, China, Total 498 new mothers who gave birth within 1 year completed questionnaires. They reported babies' months and socio-demographic information and accomplished the Maternal Social Support Scale, the Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS) and the Maternal Role Adaptation Scale. Results Results showed that social support positively correlated with maternal role adaption and positive affect. Maternal role adaptation was testified to be the mediator between social support and positive affect after controlling for age, years of marriage, employment status, household income, education, and birth order. The baby's months moderated the mediating effect of maternal role adaption on positive affect. This mediating effect only exists for the participants whose babies were less than 6 months. Conclusion The findings reveal the exact time window of social support's predictive role in enhancing positive affect in postpartum women. The timely clinical services towards improving positive affect in postpartum should be paid more attention to, and the "golden period" is suggested before the baby's six months.

The fulfillment of rights to maternal healthcare is a key factor for the wellbeing of women. However, there is a lack of an instrument to ascertain the experience of women during maternity to enable adequate monitoring. The aim of this study was to validate a new instrument to measure women’s perception of the fulfillment of rights during healthcare in pregnancy and childbirth and immediately postpartum. The initial version of the instrument consists of 50 items and was validated using exploratory factor analysis. Additionally, the final version of the instrument consists of 29 items and was validated by confirmatory factor analysis and known-group validity. The instrument was applied to 185 Spanish women. The global Aiken’s V of the initial instrument proposal was 0.89. The process resulted in an instrument with five factors (information, privacy, consent, support, and participation) that explained the 60% of the total variance. The score of the instrument was correlated with resilience, maternity beliefs, and positive and negative affect. External validation showed relations with age, gravida, and the number of times a woman has been in labor. Additionally, the Cronbach’s α reliability was 0.93 [0.91; 0.94]. In conclusion, the instrument developed is consistent and has appropriate psychometric properties for assessing the fulfillment rights of maternity healthcare.
