Abstract
Background
Delivery is a normal event in a woman’s life and the most special experience. The delivery method affects the perinatal period as well as the level of postpartum comfort.
Aims
This descriptive and cross-sectional study aims to determine the effect of delıvery method on optimality level and postpartum comfort in primiparous women
Methods
The study included 200 women. Data collection tools are the Introductory Information Form prepared by the researcher in line with the literature, the Turkish Adaptation of the Optimality Index, the Postpartum Comfort Scale.
Findings
The optimality index scores of the pregnant women with SVD obtained from PBI is 88.60 ± 5.71, the mean score obtained from OI is 84.02 ± 3.12, and the mean score of OI was determined to be 85.40 ± 2.98 for the groups who had SVD.
Conclusions
In accordance with the data, the optimality level of women has decreased due to non-evidence-based practices and invasive procedures during SVD. The total comfort score of the SVD group has also been negatively affected.
