In Taiwan, a culturally sanctioned ritual of maternal rest and recuperation has been traditionally practiced patrilocally during the first postpartum month. However, in recent years, the places where women may observe the ritual have become more diverse.
Our goal was to compare women's psychosocial features based on where they stayed during their postpartum recovery.
Using proportional stratified quota sampling of 18 hospitals and clinics in Taiwan by birth rate, we recruited 784 postpartum women.
Women stayed in their own home (17.1%), with their parents-in-law (33.3%), with their parents (36.0%), or in a postpartum nursing center (13.6%). Women who stayed in their own residence or who stayed in their parents' residence perceived greater social support than women who stayed with their parents-in-law.
Further research should compare women's adjustment to motherhood and their competence in childcare based on where they stay during postpartum recovery.
在台湾，传统上有一种文化认可的产妇休息和调养习俗，产妇在产后第一个月通常在夫家进行。然而，近年来，女性进行这种习俗的场所变得更加多样化。
我们的目标是根据产后恢复期间的居住地点比较女性的心理社会特征。
通过按出生率对台湾18家医院和诊所进行比例分层配额抽样，我们招募了784名产后女性。
女性分别居住在自己家中（17.1%）、与公婆同住（33.3%）、与父母同住（36.0%）或入住产后护理中心（13.6%）。与与公婆同住的女性相比，居住在自己家中或父母家的女性感受到了更多的社会支持。
进一步的研究应根据产后恢复期间的居住地点，比较女性对母亲角色的适应情况及其育儿能力。
