The Effect of Pregnant Women's Maneuvers on Pregnancy Distress and Perception of Maternity Role"

The role of motherhood; Motherhood can be defined as a learning process that includes knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors of a woman who has been handed down from generation to generation. Mother-infant attachment; At the behavioral and emotional level, it is the mother's attachment to her baby, which becomes stronger as the pregnant woman's body changes, her uterus expands and the mother begins to feel fetal movements. The fact that women adopt the role of motherhood throughout pregnancy is very important for attachment behaviors and infant attachment patterns in the early and late postpartum period.

The total score that can be obtained from the scale ranges from 0 to 48. A total score of 28 and above according to the cut-off point indicates that the pregnant woman is at risk for distress. The scale has 2 sub-dimensions as "negative affect" consisting of 11 items and "partner participation" consisting of 5 items.
