The sample comprised 292 mothers with infants aged 3 to 12\u2009months who attended the outpatient clinics of a hospital in Konya between March and August 2024. Data were collected using a personal information form, an obstetric violence assessment form, the Maternal Attachment Scale, and the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale. Independent samples\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">t<\/jats:italic>\n                    -tests and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted. The mean age of the participants was 29.50\u2009\u00b1\u20096.02\u2009years. Emotional obstetric violence was reported by 32.9% of mothers, followed by verbal violence (19.5%), physical violence (7.9%), and sexual violence (6.2%). Mothers who reported exposure to any form of obstetric violence had significantly lower maternal attachment scores and significantly higher PPD scores (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u2009.001). Regression analyses indicated that verbal and sexual obstetric violence were significant predictors of both maternal attachment and PPD. Greater exposure to verbal and sexual violence was associated with weaker maternal attachment and higher levels of postpartum depressive symptoms. These findings highlight the detrimental impact of obstetric violence on maternal psychological well-being and early mother\u2013infant attachment. Policies and clinical practices aimed at preventing obstetric violence and promoting respectful maternity care are essential to safeguard the health and well-being of both mothers and their infants.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/10547738261444970","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,10]],"date-time":"2026-06-10T09:54:33Z","timestamp":1781085273000},"page":"368-378","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effects of Obstetric Violence on Maternal Attachment and Postpartum Depression in Mothers"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Hacer","family":"Alan Dikmen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sel\u00e7uk University, Konya, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Selma","family":"Abay Kaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sel\u00e7uk University, Konya, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8412-7807","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Havva","family":"Tokg\u00f6z Keke\u00e7","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sel\u00e7uk University, Konya, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Recep","family":"Y\u00fccel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"K\u0131r\u0131kkale University, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Afulani P.
