The aim of this study was to examine demographic, environmental, belief, and personality factors related to maternal well-being as a part of a comprehensive project. In this study, maternal well-being was measured as prenatal @entity308 . A total of 200 pregnant @entity1 participated in this study. @entity1 were included who were married, pregnant with a first @entity1 , working full time before conception and over the age of 20 years. The @entity1 were selected from university hospitals and birth clinics in Ankara, @entity233 . @entity1 were interviewed at 6-8 months of pregnancy and at 6-8 months after the birth. Each interview included structured items to measure relevant variables and lasted approximately 45-60 minutes. Results revealed that in the prenatal period lower maternal income, self-esteem and self-efficacy were significantly associated with prenatal maternal @entity148 . In the postnatal period, @entity308 were significantly associated with unplanned pregnancy, higher @entity148 , perceived lower satisfaction with paternal physical support, and negative maternal attitudes toward employment. Findings indicated that prenatal high @entity148 might be an adverse risk factor for postnatal well-being of mothers. In conclusion, both common and culture-specific factors related to prenatal and postnatal maternal well-being might assist with maternity and early care policies in this culture.
