Abstract
Abstract:
Pregnancy, childbirth, and becoming a parent cause different physical, mental, and social
changes, so it is a critical life period for women. The well-being of the perinatal period, in which
this complex and unique process is experienced, contains different characteristics from the general
population. Therefore, the importance of conceptualizing the concept of “perinatal well-being” and
defining the relevant dimensions has recently gained attention. The potential to develop a tool to
measure the concept, along with the conceptualization process adequately, makes this subject remarkable.
