Identifying modifiable factors that can protect women's mental health in the postpartum period is critical to devise more tailored interventions for this period. This study aims to investigate how self\u2010compassion moderates the relationship between birth satisfaction levels, type of birth, and early skin\u2010to\u2010skin contact (SSC) in women's PPD symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 987 postpartum women completed an online survey assessing sociodemographic and obstetric variables, birth satisfaction, self\u2010compassion, and postpartum depression symptoms. On average, women were 31.98\u2009years old (SD\u2009=\u20094.36), and their babies were 2.48\u2009months old (SD\u2009=\u20091.24; range\u2009=\u20090\u20135).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Higher levels of PPD symptoms were significantly correlated with lower birth satisfaction, having a caesarian delivery, and not engaging in SSC after birth. Moderation analyses indicated that PPD symptom levels were not significantly associated with delivery type at average and higher levels of self\u2010compassion and were not significantly associated with birth satisfaction at higher levels of self\u2010compassion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Self\u2010compassion appears to play an important buffering role in women's mental health during the postpartum period. Moderation findings suggest that average and higher levels of self\u2010compassion may attenuate the negative effects of a cesarean delivery and lower birth satisfaction on PPD symptom levels. These findings suggest that psychological interventions targeting postpartum mental health or PPD may benefit from incorporating strategies aimed at fostering self\u2010compassion.<\/jats:p>\n
