“…It seems that infant care in the postpartum period and maternal experiences can lead to mother's self-efficiency and reduction of stresses related to maternal role over time. The finding regarding the control group is in line with the study of Salonen et al (32). To the best of researcher' knowledge, few studies have investigated the effectiveness of interventions in reducing postpartum stress.…”

“…Okamoto et al in Japan showed that one session intervention in the form of a lecture and group discussion, although had contributed to a sense of self-efficacy of some women, but did not have a large impact on reducing emotional distress of nulliparous women (17). The study of Salonen et al showed that parental self-efficacy is not only increased in the intervention group, but also it is increased in the control group, which is due to maternal experiencing; also internet child care intervention did not have any effect on parental self-efficacy and mothers' satisfaction (32). It seems that providing not-inperson, non-supportive, and short information does not have significant impact.…”

IntroductionThe postpartum period is one of the important transitional phases in women's life (1). Following serious changes of delivery and transition to parenthood, primigravidas undergo significant physical, social and psychological changes (2). With important physiological and psychological changes such as adapting to changes in the body, woman face maternal role and support of certain people (3). Therefore, mother needs to adapt to new life and newborn care (4). Most of them aren't ready to take care of themselves and their baby with plentiful needs (5). During this stage of adjustment, mother experiences psychosocial social imbalances that lead to severe stress (6). The true prevalence of postpartum stress among women is unknown, but studies show that 10% to 15% of women are affected by mental issues including depression, anxiety and stress after delivery (7). Webb et al showed that 69% of women have at least one physical complaint after childbirth (8). Based on the results, 25.71% to 32.38% of women have mild mental disorders during the first 6 weeks after delivery (9) and, in some studies; this figure has even reached up to 44.4% (10). In Iran, 47.5% of nulliparous women and 67.1% of multiparous are not in a good mental health status (11) and 32% of women experience postpartum stress disorder after delivery (12). Overall, postpartum stress in Iranian women is higher than other countries and is inversely related to social protection (13). Many diseases and problems of women in this period are related to stress or their inability to cope with changes (14). Stress can be a component of any disease. Therefore, understanding the stressors and improving the capacity of the person to be compatible with them is very important (3).Episiotomy and perineal pain, back pain, breast swelling and pain, incontinence, constipation, fatigue, sleep problems and breast problems are the most important physical stressors and the pressure to return to pre-pregnancy weight, sexual changes, concerns about the maternal role, problems regarding the infant (e.g., feeding, crying, care, bathing, unpredictable behaviors of the baby, sucking, neonatal jaundice, sleep disorders, flatulence, inadequate weight gain, eye infection and umbilical infection), relationships with partners and lack of social support are psychological stressors (15-17). Baby care, sexual relationships, self-care, family planning and mental health are women's concerns and educational needs in the postpartum period (18). Based on the analysis of various factors, Hung et al found that three factors of maternal role attainment, lack of social support and physical changes are important in the occurrence of postpartum stress (5).Postpartum stresses are determinants of women's health and even threaten child-parent relationship and child AbstractObjectives: Planned interventions can facilitate the maternal role for primiparous women by reducing postpartum stress. The present study aims to determine the effect of home-based supportive-educational counseling on primigravi...

“…Given the key role that breastfeeding has for improving the general health of the community, breastfeeding counseling should be offered regularly, especially during the prenatal and postpartum periods, while the information provided should be consistent, realistic and evidence-based (21)(22) . Interactive methods are needed to increase the self-efficacy of parents during breastfeeding (12) . Article 23 shows that women's perceptions on their own ability to make decisions positively influenced the prevalence of breastfeeding up to 12 weeks after childbirth.…”

Questionnaire data from two projects on the development of quality assurance instruments for an inpatient rehabilitation/prevention program for parents were used for a secondary analysis. In this analysis, the associations of gains in a psychosocial resource (parenting self-efficacy) and two types of stressors experienced by mothers at the start of treatment (parenting hassles, depressive symptoms) with general life satisfaction and satisfaction with health at the end of treatment were explored. Structural equation modeling was applied to data from N = 1724 female patients. Potential resource-stressor interactions were tested using the Latent Moderated Structural Equations approach. Results showed that parenting hassles were negatively associated with general life satisfaction and satisfaction with health while self-efficacy gains were weakly positively correlated with both variables. No interaction of parenting hassles and self-efficacy gains was found. Depressive symptoms were negatively associated with both satisfaction measures. In these models, selfefficacy gains were not substantially correlated with life satisfaction, but showed a small association with satisfaction with health. There was no significant interaction of depressive symptoms and self-efficacy gains. The findings imply that interventions for distressed mothers-as exemplarily illustrated by this inpatient setting-should focus on identifying and reducing initial stressors as these may continue to impair mothers' subjective health despite gains in parenting-related resources.
