This descriptive study was completed with 300 mothers who met the inclusion criteria. In the study, the postpartum depression scores of the mothers who saw, held and breastfed their baby in the first 30 minutes after birth were found to be low and their maternal attachment scores were high (p<0.05). The total mean scores of the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale and the Maternal Attachment Inventory were 13.49±6.65 and 93.28±7.89, respectively. It was determined that there was a negative and highly significant relationship (p<0.01; r=-0.72) between the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale and the Maternal Attachment Inventory scores of the mothers. The level of postpartum depression of the mothers who had early contact with their babies decreased and the level of attachment to the mother increased. Nurses are critical personnel providing mother-infant interaction in the neonatal unit. For this reason, it may be recommended that nurses evaluate early postpartum depression symptoms of mothers whose infants are hospitalized to improve mother-infant health and to encourage attachment by providing mother-infant interaction.

Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışma dahil edilme kriterlerine uyan 300 anne ile tamamlanmıştır.Çalışmada, doğumdan sonraki ilk 30 dakika içinde bebeğini gören, kucağına alan ve emziren annelerin doğum sonrası depresyon puanlarının düşük, maternal bağlanma puanlarının ise yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Edinburgh Doğum Sonrası Depresyon Ölçeği ve Maternal Bağlanma Envanteri'nin toplam ortalama puanları sırasıyla 13.49±6.65 ve 93.28±7.89'dur. Annelerin postpartum depresyon vematernal bağlanma ölçeği puanları arasında negatif yönde ve yüksek düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0.01; r=-0.72). Bebekleriyle erken temas kuran annelerin doğum sonrası depresyon düzeylerinin düşük, maternal bağlanma düzeylerinin ise yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Yenidoğan ünitesinde hemşireler, anne-bebek etkileşimini sağlamada önemli bir role sahiptir. Bu nedenle, anne-bebek sağlığını iyileştirmek ve anne-bebek etkileşimi sağlayarak bağlanmayı teşvik etmek için hemşirelerin bebeği hastaneye yatırılan annelerin postpartum depresyon semptomlarını erken dönemde değerlendirmeleri önerilebilir.
