MeSH terms: Depression, Postpartum; Puerperal Disorders; Depression; Depressive Disorder
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      The study was planned as a two-group parallel randomized controlled experimental study in
      order to determine the effects of the nurse navigation program developed for mothers in the
      postpartum period on mothers' self-care power, quality of life, anxiety and depression risks,
      and physical symptom severity. The study will be carried out in Ankara Etlik Zübeyde Hanım
      Gynecology Training and Research Hospital. The population of the research will be primiparous
      mothers who gave birth vaginally in Ankara.
    

Detailed description: 
      Primiparous pregnant women who come to the pregnancy outpatient clinic, are at 36 weeks of
      gestation or more, meet the inclusion criteria and volunteer, will be informed about the
      program and will be included in the sample of the study. There will be two groups assigned by
      the stratified block randomization method in the study. The number of samples to be taken
      into the control and intervention groups was determined by power analysis and the sample size
      was planned to be 32 mothers for the intervention group and 32 mothers for the control group.
      In addition to routine hospital care, the intervention group will receive navigation
      program-based nursing care that includes three home visits, three phone calls, and sending
      text messages at five different times. The control group will not receive any intervention
      other than routine hospital care practices. The data of the research; "Data Collection Form
      on Descriptive Characteristics", "Postpartum Mother and Newborn Evaluation and Diagnosis
      Form", "Mother and Newborn Problems Evaluation Form in the Postpartum Period", "Mother and
      Baby Follow-up Evaluation Form in the Postpartum Period", "Self-Care Power" Scale',
      'Postpartum Quality of Life Scale', 'Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale', 'Edinburgh
      Postpartum Depression Scale' and 'Physical Symptom Severity Scale' will be collected using
      descriptive statistics (number, min., mean, standard deviation, standard deviation) in the

      distribution will be evaluated with the Shapiro Wilks test. The relationship between them in
      qualitative variables will be evaluated with the chi-square test and Fisher's exact test. The
      Cochran Q test will be used to examine change over time. In numerical variables, according to
      the normal distribution; In independent groups, t test, Mann Whitney U test, one-way analysis
      of variance (ANOVA), Kruskal Wallis Analysis will be used. Before and after repeated
      measurements, according to the normal distribution; In repeated measurements, one-way
      analysis of variance or Friedman test will be used. Significance will be evaluated at the
      p<0.05 level. The independent variables of the research will be stated as numbers and
      percentages.
