Summary

Postpartum depression is a global mental health problem affecting 13 million women worldwide each year. It is defined as minor or major depression that occurs up to one year after birth and is estimated to affect 5 to 25% of mothers who have just given birth . Postpartum depression can cause negative consequences not only on the mother but also on the newborn and the whole family. The main goal in the postpartum period is to maintain the well-being of mother and baby. However, if a depression is experienced during this period, the main goal is to take action to reduce its severity. Exercise is a potentially promising method to prevent postpartum depression. However, more studies are needed to determine the effects of exercise on women who live in rural Türkiye and have limited access to health services. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of a mobile-based exercise program applied to women giving birth in rural areas on postpartum depression, mother-baby attachment and baby crying behavior.
