This study aimed to determine the relationship of the prenatal psychosocial profile with postpartum maternity duties and newborn care. This descriptive and correlational study was conducted on 154 pregnant women. It was determined that pregnant women had low-stress levels, high social support from their husbands and other people, and moderate self-esteem. Participants relying on power in coping with maternity duties in the postpartum period and satisfaction with maternity and newborn care were found to be high. Adaptation to the postpartum period facilitates the transition to maternity and increases satisfaction with newborn care.
