For data collection; a questionnaire form addressing characteristics of puerperant women and contents of the training provided and Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale-New Mother Form (RHDS-NMF) were employed. For the assessment of the data, Mann Whitney U and Independent Sample t tests were used. Mean total score of RHDSNMF, mean knowledge score and mean expected support score of those puerperant women who were ready to go home were significantly higher than those who were not ready to go home (p<0.001). Mean total score of those puerperant women who were trained about cleaning baby’s genital area, umbilicus and perinea care, family planning and emergent cases for which mothers should go to health care center was higher than those puerperant women who were not trained about these subjects (p<0.05). Mean knowledge score of multiparous women was higher than primiparous women and mean knowledge score of those puerperant women who were trained about feeding, prevention of infant gas, cleaning baby’s genital area, umbilicus, perinea and breast care, family planning, post natal exercises and emergent cases for which mothers should go to health care center was considerably higher than those not trained (p<0.05). Expected support score of those puerperant women who stayed at hospital for ≥3 days was higher than those who stayed at hospital for ≤2 days (p<0.05). Mean coping score of those who were trained about prevention of infant gas, cleaning baby’s genital area, perinea and breast care, family planning and emergent cases for which mothers should go to health care center was considerably higher than those not trained (p<0.05).
