| description | Background: The birth of a child is a source of joy in the family. But the one who truly feels the implications of this "miracle" is the mother, because she will cope with both the joys and the fears that implicitly flow from this experience. Aim: This paperwork aims to highlight one of the important aspects affected by the type of birth chosen, namely the quality of life of the mother-in-law immediately after birth, with immediate repercussions on the ability of the mother-in-law to play the role of mother. Material and methods: The study was conducted in May 2021, at the maternity hospital in Oradea, on 36 subjects, the average age of 24.38 ± 4,884 (min. 20 / max. 35 years), in the first days after birth, 55.6% primiparous, 44.4% multiparous; 63.9% come from urban areas, 36.1% from rural areas. The subjects were divided in two groups as follows: 18 women with natural birth as study group, and 18 women with caesarian section as the control group. As assessment tools we used: Beck Depression Inventory, Apgar score, Functional Independence Measure and Verbal Analog Scale. For statistical analysis we used SPSS 15.00 version. Results: There are significant differences between the 2 groups in terms of pain intensity when switching from supine to lateral decubitus; lying in bed, the intensity of the pain while walking; when handling and breastfeeding; the degree of functional independence in personal hygiene and the handling of the newborn and the degree of depression. There are no significant differences for functional independence in breastfeeding and APGAR scores. Conclusions: As a general conclusion we can say that it appears that the normal birth is much more beneficial both for the mother (physically, mentally, independence and recovery) and and for the child (Apgar score). |
