Abstract

Background: The postpartum period is a challenging time for mothers, in which the quality of life (QOL) is an important indicator of health. Assessing the factors related to postpartum QOL (PQOL) can provide a holistic approach to health programs from an individual to a macro level. This study identified predictive factors for PQOL among Iranian postpartum women. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using demographic, obstetric, and PQOL questionnaires on 236 postpartum women. The data were subsequently analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: The results identified education level, delivery method (p< 0.05), planned pregnancy, and sufficient family income (p< 0.001) as the four factors associated with PQOL. In addition, adequate family income was identified as a predictor of PQOL (p< 0.001). Conclusion: Given that mothers' health helps to ensure the health of their families and communities, they should be classified according to PQOL predictors and matched with appropriate health programs to provide a high-quality postpartum period.
