Abstract
Utilizing crisis theory, the stages of growth and development, and a theory of role transition and enactment, a series of questionnaires was developed as a clinical tool to study women's adaptation to motherhood during six weeks postpartum. The tool was tested on six women. Results suggest that the postpartum is indeed a critical period of identity reformation and role transition. Theories are developed for a framework, and a timetable for nursing intervention is given.
