Empowered healing: Boosting confidence and resilience through self-affirmation in post-cesarean mothers

The impact of self-affirmation as a therapeutic intervention for postpartum mothers who have undergone cesarean sections, aiming to enhance their self-confidence and resilience is of interest. A true experimental design with pre-test and post-test measures was used, involving 60 mothers in both experimental and control groups. The results showed that the experimental group exhibited significant improvements in self-confidence and resilience following the intervention. Positive self-affirmation techniques, including educational materials on diet, hygiene, and newborn care, contributed to these improvements. Thus, we show that positive self-affirmation significantly enhanced psychological well-being and coping abilities among mothers who had cesarean sections.
