    New mothers show some of Rubin's "Taking-in" and "Taking-hold" behaviors, but not on the specific timeline proposed. This preliminary study suggests adjustments to nursing practice and future research on postpartum maternal behaviors.

    Area of Science:

    • Maternal Health
    • Postpartum Psychology
    • Nursing Research

    Background:

    • Reva Rubin's maternal behavioral theory describes "Taking-in" and "Taking-hold" phases.
    • Understanding these phases is crucial for effective postpartum nursing care.
    • Previous research has not fully validated the temporal aspects of Rubin's theory.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the presence of Rubin's "Taking-in" and "Taking-hold" behaviors in healthy postpartum mothers.
    • To determine if these maternal behaviors change during hospitalization.
    • To compare observed behaviors with Rubin's theoretical timeline.

    Main Methods:

    • A preliminary observational study involving 20 healthy new mothers.
    • Data collection occurred daily throughout the postpartum hospitalization period.

  • Utilized surveys to assess maternal behaviors and attitudes.

    • Main Results:

    • Mothers exhibited some "Taking-in" and "Taking-hold" behaviors.
    • The observed timing of these behaviors did not align with Rubin's specific predictions.
    • Findings indicate variability in the progression of maternal adjustment.

    Conclusions:

    • Rubin's theory provides a framework, but the temporal sequencing may not be universally applicable.
    • Nursing practice should be flexible, adapting to individual maternal adjustment timelines.
    • Further research is needed to refine understanding of postpartum maternal adaptation.
