“…The most crucial environmental component in laying the groundwork for socializing is the presence of parents, particularly mothers, who establish intimate bonds with their newborns immediately after birth [4]. This is just one of the many aspects influencing an infant's overall development.…”

“…Rapid social, economic, and cultural changes have brought about various changes in modern society's way of life. The number of dual-income households has also increased due to women's entry into society [4]. Most mothers adjust to becoming mothers successfully, but for some women, the strain and stress of being a mother are too much [7].…”

“…Positive interactions with children significantly impact an infant's development if a mother has an obvious maternal identity. Additionally, the fact that an infant is healthy and developing typically makes the mother feel competent and confident about her maternal identity, which is evidence that it enhances the maternal identity [4]. Maternal role adaptation is a significant phenomenon of interest for nursing, and research is carried out consistently at home and abroad during the COVID-19 Era [8][10] [11][12] [13][14] [15][16] [17].…”

This research aims to create a tool that will allow researchers to assess the maternal identity of women who cared for young children during the COVID-19 pandemic. The methodological goal of this study is to create a maternal identification tool for women raising young children and to confirm the tool's reliability and validity. It is divided into two stages: tool development and tool evaluation. The data collection period lasted from July 1, 2021, to July 30, 2021, and it was carried out after gaining prior consent from institutions such as public health centers through an official letter. Four factors and 22 items were chosen from the factor analysis. Finally, through reliability and validity testing, 17 items were constructed into four sub-factors: "warmth type," "best effort type," "indifference type," and "preparation type." An essential point in the tool development process is to verify the validity and reliability of the tool appropriately, theoretically, and methodically. Because of this, a test was created specifically for this study to evaluate the maternal identity of domestic women raising young children. The instrument's validity and reliability was verified.

The term ‘Perinatal’ incorporates pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. The perinatal period is a milestone event in both the individual and familial life cycle, an experience shared by the wider social network and community. Yet, it can be a period where the impact of pre-existing and emerging mental health problems during this time could necessitate specialist Perinatal Mental Health Services (PMHS) support via the NHS. COVID-19 pandemic is considered to have exacerbated the adversity for Perinatal Mental Health (PMH), yet questions on the lived experience remain unanswered. Interviews with expectant and new mothers were analysed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis (RTA) establishing themes of 1- Perinatal Medical Care during COVID-19 Pandemic, 2- Becoming a Parent within social isolation, iii- Managing the Perinatal Period with the Support of Perintal Mental Health Services (PMHS) and iv- Parenthood beyond the COVID-19 Pandemic. Findings indicated that the COVID-19 Pandemic caused concerns and worries amongst pregnant, birthing, and post-partum women and that diminished opportunities for social support during the perinatal period created an adverse mental health impact upon them. Overall, COVID-19 appears to have a ripple effect on women and their families experiencing the perinatal period during COVID-19. Although participants largely did not link their poor mental well-being during the perinatal period to the COVID-19 Pandemic, they attributed the causes of their poorer experiences to the COVID-19 Pandemic, identifying the pandemic as contributor to their heightened perinatal mental distress and at times as sole cause for their referral to Perinatal Mental Health Services.
