Aim:
To investigate predictors of low birth satisfaction in a sample of Iranian postpartum women.
Design:
This was a cross-sectional study.
Methods:
This study was conducted on 767 postpartum women using a convenience sampling method between June and September 2019. We collected data on socio-demographic variables, maternal well-being, fear of childbirth and birth satisfaction. We used multiple linear regression analyses to determine predictors of low birth satisfaction.
Results:
The women who gave birth by elective caesarean, emergency caesarean and vaginal birth were 13.2%, 19.06% and 67.8%, respectively. Predictors of low birth satisfaction were primiparity [Beta = -0.131, CI (-2.745, -1.021)], low level of well-being [-0.119, (-2.514, -0.844)], low [-0.193 (-5.052, -2.568)] and moderate [-0.143 (-2.999, -1.199)] satisfaction with pregnancy, moderate satisfaction with spouse's emotional/financial support [-0.150 (-3.718, -1.595)], emergency caesarean [-0.086 (-2.713, -0.360)], severe fear of childbirth [-0.315 (-5.701, -3.911)] and long interval between admission to hospital and giving birth [-0.188 (-0.233, -0.119)].

Parenting Styles
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.
