To assess the impact of family social support (FSS) on postpartum quality of life (PQOL).
This analytical cross-sectional study enrolled postpartum women and asked them to complete the PQOL and FSS questionnaire (FSSQ) between October 2021 and February 2022 in three urban health centres in Shiraz, Iran. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis and multiple regression were used to determine the relationship between the FSS and PQOL variables. Structural equation modelling was used to determine the relationship pathways of the impact of FSS on PQOL.
A total of 240 women were enrolled in the study. The mean ± SD scores of PQOL and FSSQ were 61.63 ± 9.59 and 69.80 ± 11.19, respectively. Family support seeking (7.95) and emotional support seeking (-6.80) were two factors affecting PQOL.
Women should be empowered to seek support through education and actions from health workers, especially nurses and midwives, during routine regular prenatal care.
评估家庭社会支持（FSS）对产后生活质量（PQOL）的影响。
这是一项分析性的横断面研究，纳入了产后女性，并要求她们在 2021 年 10 月至 2022 年 2 月期间在伊朗设拉子的三个城市健康中心填写 PQOL 和 FSS 问卷（FSSQ）。采用 Pearson 相关系数分析和多元回归来确定 FSS 和 PQOL 变量之间的关系。结构方程模型用于确定 FSS 对 PQOL 影响的作用途径。
共有 240 名妇女参加了这项研究。PQOL 和 FSSQ 的平均得分分别为 61.63±9.59 和 69.80±11.19。寻求家庭支持（7.95）和寻求情感支持（-6.80）是影响 PQOL 的两个因素。
妇女应通过健康教育和行动，特别是卫生工作者（护士和助产士）在常规定期产前保健中获得支持。
