Description
Mahboobeh Asadi, Mahnaz Noroozi, and Mousa Alavi build in 2026 a questionnaire that measures how well women adjust after childbirth. New mothers face body, mind, and social changes, and health workers need a sound tool to spot those who struggle. The team drafted items from interviews and past literature, then tested them on 203 Iranian mothers.
Weak items were cut by standard content checks, and a factor study settled the form at thirty items in five groups. Those groups explained about fifty-seven percent of the spread in answers, and the whole scale showed high internal consistency. The authors judge the tool valid and reliable for clinic use.
