General Directorate of Basic Health Services (2006) reports that number of medical follow-ups per puerperal women in
Turkey is 0.98 [13]; which indicates that puerperal follow-ups are insufficiently performed in our country and women are

home in Turkey has been the main motive of the research. It was a randomized controlled study conducted in order to
determine the effect of home care services given to the women who were early discharged from the hospital after cesarean
delivery upon mother health
