Impact of IBSR on Postpartum Mothers' Mental Health.
The period of pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum phase significantly impacts the mental health of women and their families. Mental health is crucial for overall well-being, quality of life, and is associated with healthcare costs. Therefore, promoting mental health should be a top priority in public health and health promotion efforts.
The Inquiry-Based Stress Reduction (IBSR) intervention, developed by Byron Katie ("The Work"), enables participants to identify and question the stressful thoughts that cause their suffering. The core of IBSR involves a contemplative "inquiry" process and a "turnaround," which is a method of experiencing the opposite of what the participant believes. This process equips individuals with skills for self-inquiry and management of stressful thoughts that can be easily integrated into daily life.
Based on previous research, we hypothesize that the IBSR intervention can improve postpartum mothers' mental health.
