Abstract

The purpose of this concept paper was to determine a concept analysis on Maternal Role
Confidence of during the early postpartum period. A concept analysis using Walker &Avanti
was done. Eight articles were systematically reviewed to define and clarify maternal role
confidence. The following search engines were used as data sources: google scholar, PubMed,
Biomed central and www.opendoar.org. Attributes of maternal role confidence include the
following, maternal intrinsic role, ask for help, and identifying baby cues. The attributes were
identified to standardize care. Despite the dynamic nature of maternal role confidence, the
provided definition of maternal role confidence facilitate a clearer understanding of what
maternal role confidence is.
