Abstract

This descriptive study aimed to identify the predictive factors of maternal-infant attachment following unplanned cesarean sections in Thai-Muslim mothers in Narathiwat Province, Thailand. The Maternal-Infant Attachment Theory of Klaus & Kennel (1982) was used as the conceptual framework. The sample consisted of 110 Thai-Muslim mothers who had undergone unplanned cesarean section delivery and postpartum recovery care at the Obstetrics-Gynecology Patient Ward in Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra Hospital from September 2022 to December 2022. The sample was purposively selected based on set inclusion criteria. The data collection instruments included the personal data questionnaire, the perceived childbirth experience assessment form, the Labour Support Scale for Intrapartum Nurses form, the perceived marital relationship quality assessment, and the Maternal-Infant Attachment Inventory form. The reliability, measured using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, was .86, .92, .92, and .88, respectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis.

The results revealed that Thai-Muslim mothers who had undergone unplanned cesarean section delivery and had high perceived marital relationship quality were 1.114 times more likely to have increased maternal-infant attachment, with statistical significance (p < .05). Based on the findings, it is recommended that professional nurses continually assess perceived marital relationship quality to ensure they provide effective care that promotes maternal-infant attachment.
