Abstract: (12 Views)
Background and Objectives: In Iranian medicine, the concept of temperament is associated with many anthropometric, behavioral, and physiological indicators, as well as diseases. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between mothers' temperament and their newborns' health status at birth.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study included 700 mothers who were referred to various women's hospitals in Hamedan, Iran, in 2023. Data were collected one day after delivery using the Salman Nejad questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 20) with quantitative and qualitative statistical methods, with a significance level of less than 0.05.
Results: In terms of warmth and coldness, 471 mothers (67.3%) had cold temperaments, and in terms of humidity and dryness, 396 mothers (56.6%) had moist temperaments. Moreover, among those with mixed temperaments, 292 (41.7%) had cold and wet temperaments. Normal delivery and higher birth weight were significantly higher in mothers with warm temperaments than in mothers with cold temperaments (P value = 0.005, 0.043). However, no significant relationships were observed between mothers' temperament and height or head circumference (P values = 0.602, 0.276).
Conclusion: Mothers with a warm temperament had higher birth weight and were more likely to have normal deliveries. By correcting the cold and humid temperament, the likelihood of a normal delivery and the birth of infants with appropriate birth weight can be increased.
