Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the maternal functioning and related factors among early postpartum women. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 243 women recruited from three women's hospitals. Participants completed a structured questionnaire in on-line or off-line between 6 and 12 weeks postpartum. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS for Windows ver. 25.0. Results: The mean score for the maternal functioning was 73.28±16.78 out of 120 points. Maternal functioning was associated with postpartum depression (r=-.57 p<.001), and spousal and family support (r=.54, p<.001). According to the stepwise multiple regression, postpartum depression (β=-0.43, p<.001), spouse and family support (β=0.39, p<.001), employment (β=0.12, p=.012) and delivery method (β=-0.10 p=.026) had a significant relationship with the maternal functioning among postpartum women. These variables had an explanatory power of 49.0% for maternal functioning. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop and implement a maternal intervention program focused on alleviating postpartum depression and improving spouse and family support. This study will be the starting point for various studies by identifying the maternal functioning of postpartum women for the first time in Korea.

본 연구는 출산여성의 모성기능의 정도와 이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하기 위해 시도되었다. 자료수집은 2021년 2-3월에 걸쳐 여성병원 3곳에서 출산 후 6주에서 12주에 해당되는 여성 243명을 대상으로 실시하였고, 이 자료는 SPSS 25.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석되었다. 그 결과 출산여성의 모성기능 영향요인은 산후우울, 배우자 및 가족지지, 직업유무, 출산 방법으로 나타났으며, 그 중 산후우울(β=-0.43, p<.001)과 배우자 및 가족 지지(β=0.39, p<.001)가 중요한 예측인자였다. 따라서 모성기능 향상을 위한 중재 개발 및 적용 시 산후우울을 완화하고 배우자 및 가족지지를 증진하는데 중점을 둘 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 국내에서 처음으로 출산여성의 모성기능을 파악하여 다양한 연구의 시발점이 될 것이다.
