|a Background: Maternity nurses play an important role in the process of a woman becoming a mother. The influence of women’s satisfaction with nursing care on the maternal role has not been addressed. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of patient satisfaction with nursing care on maternal role competence among the postpartum population. Theoretical Framework: Mercer’s theory of becoming a mother provided the framework guiding the study. Methods: A cross-sectional correlational research design was utilized to test the effect of postpartum satisfaction with nursing care on maternal role competence. A convenience sample of postpartum women (N = 142) participated in the study utilizing electronic surveys. Instruments included a demographic questionnaire, the Patient Satisfaction with Nursing Care Quality Questionnaire, and the Parenting Sense of Competence scale. Pearson correlation, multiple linear regression analyses, and independent samples t-test analyzed the relationships between the variables to show significant associations. Results: Five hypotheses were tested and supported. Hypothesis one showed a statistically significant relationship between patient satisfaction with nursing care and maternal role competence, r = .32, p < .001. Hypothesis two revealed four predictors patient satisfaction (β = .311, p < .001), infant age (β = .155, p = .034), breastfeeding (β = .201, p = .007), and depression (β = -.176, p = .014) of maternal role competence, F (5,136) = 6.62, p < .001. Hypothesis three disclosed patient satisfaction as the only predictor of maternal role competence, F (6,135) = 3.64, p = .002. After controlling for all significant antecedents of maternal role competence, hypothesis four reinforced patient satisfaction with nursing care as a statistically significant predictor, F (4,137) = 8.30, p < .001. Lastly, hypothesis five not assuming homogeneous variances found patient satisfaction to be a statistically significant effect on maternal role competence, t (115.30) = 3.95, p < .001. Conclusion: Nurses and other healthcare professionals caring for postpartum women are urged to generate and implement interventions that foster the process of becoming a mother. These interventions will ultimately decrease the barriers associated with maternal role transition and enhance the psychosocial health of the mother and infant. |
