Summary
This study mapped postpartum mental states using Lüscher
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Obstetrics
Context:
- The early puerperium is a critical period for maternal mental health.
- Assessing postpartum mental well-being is essential for timely intervention.
Purpose:
- To establish a normative baseline for mental state in the early puerperium using Lüscher's Colour Test.
- To identify demographic and obstetric factors associated with deviations from this norm.
Summary:
- A tentative norm (54312067) for postpartum mental state was established in 100 women.
- Deviations were observed in women who underwent Cesarean sections, had prolonged or rapid first labor stages, multiparous women, and university graduates.
Impact:
- The established norm may serve as a diagnostic tool for identifying women experiencing unsatisfactory postpartum adjustment.
- Further validation on larger populations is recommended for clinical application.
