This study was conducted to investigate the effect of mother-infant contact deprivation on maternal sadness and maternal adaptation. The research is a randomized controlled experimental study. The intervention group consisted of mothers who had vaginal births or cesarean deliveries with epidural/spinal anesthesia (n: 198), while the control group included mothers who had cesarean deliveries under general anesthesia (n: 99). In the intervention group, mother-infant skin-to-skin contact was ensured within the first 10 minutes after birth. No intervention was made with the mothers in the control group. Both groups were assessed within the first 48 hours postpartum using the Mother-Infant Contact Barrier Scale, and on the 14th day postpartum, the Postpartum Self-Evaluation Scale and the Postpartum Maternal Sadness Evaluation Scale were administered to compare the results.

Maternal Sadness and Adaptation
The development, reliability and validity study of the scale was conducted by Küçük and Cesur (Küçük, E. (2022) Postpartum maternity blues assesment scale: Improvement, validity and reliability study) (Thesis No. 727989) \[Master's thesis, Sivas Cumhuriyet University\] National Thesis Center of the Council of Higher Education.) in 2022. The scale included questions prepared to determine the psychological changes that occur in the mother in the postpartum period and what kind of problems these changes may create in the mother. The scale was created as a 5-point Likert type to be answered by the participants. The scale contains 23 items. The items in the scale were applied as '1- Strongly disagree, 2-Disagree, 3-Undecided, 4-Agree, 5- Strongly Agree'. A high score on the scale indicates that the symptoms of maternal sadness in the postpartum period are high. A scale consisting of three sub-dimensions with 23 items (First Factor 'Maternal self-care dimension', second factor 'Infant care di

Postpartum Self-Assessment Scale
It was decided to be developed by Lederman and Weingarten in 1981 to evaluate the adaptation process of women in the postpartum period to motherhood. It is a 4-point Likert-type scale with 82 items. There are 7 subscales that evaluate the Postpartum Self-Assessment Scale. Each subscale contains 10 to 13 items. 39 of the items in the scale are reverse-biased. The numbers of the reverse-biased items in the scale are as follows; 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 10, 14, 15,16, 22, 29, 30, 32, 33, 36, 38, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 46, 47, 49, 51, 53, 54, 59, 61, 62, 67, 69, 71, 73, 77, 78, 79, 81, 82. The scale is measured with a 4-point assessment. Postpartum adjustment is evaluated based on the results of scores ranging from "1" to "4" (4: "Describes very much," 3: "Partially describes," 2: "Somewhat describes," 1: Does not describe at all"). Scoring for reverse items is done in the opposite way. The lowest possible score for the entire scale is 82, and the highest is 328. Low scores indicate that the adaptatio

Mother-Infant Contact Barrier Scale
Development of the Scale and Examination of Its Psychometric Properties was conducted by Kömürcü Akik and Durak Batıgün (Akik, B. K., \& Batıgün, A. D. (2020). Mother-Infant Contact Barrier Scale (ABTEÖ): Development and Psychometric Properties. Current Approaches in Psychiatry/Psikiyatride Guncel Yaklasimlar, 12.) in 2020. It was planned to be developed to measure possible contact barriers that may be experienced between the mother and the baby, such as difficulties in adaptation between the mother and the baby after birth and negative experiences related to birth, based on the mother's report. A total of 38-item question pool form was created by the authors. After the preliminary preparations, a 37-item form with Likert-type scores from 1 to 5 ("1 = Doesn't Apply to Me at All", "2 = Doesn't Apply to Me", "3 = Undecided", "4 = Applies to Me Somewhat", and "5 = Applies to Me Completely") was created. The 37-item version of the scale was applied to the participants. As a result of the v
