dc.description.abstractObjectiveThis study was conducted to determine the effect of the mode of delivery on maternal postpartum comfort level and breastfeeding self-efficacy.MethodsThe study was conducted as a systematic review and a meta-analysis. Searching was performed from March to July 2022, on PubMed, National Thesis Center, Dergi Park, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and EBSCO search engines and we included studies from the last 10 years. The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tools used in cross-sectional studies were employed to appraise the methodological quality and performed meta-analyses using a random-effects model for all outcomes. Study data consisted of continuous variables calculated by Mean Difference.ResultsFrom 3732 records received, 21 cross-sectional studies involving 5266 participants were determined to be eligible. Meta-analysis results showed that cesarean section reduced postpartum comfort, albeit not statistically significant (MD: -0.87 95%: -1.98-0.24, Z = 1.53, p = 0.44), whereas the combined results of breastfeeding self-efficacy showed that delivery type did not affect breastfeeding self-efficacy.ConclusionThe results of this review have clinical implications for postpartum caregivers, as the effects of mode of delivery on postpartum comfort and breastfeeding self-efficacy have been well documented in previous studies. The authors recommend caregivers plan maternal care to increase their comfort, taking into account the factors that may affect postpartum comfort in the light of evidence-based practices.
