Promoting positive birth experiences may help create circumstances amenable to enhancing the quality of obstetric care and improving outcomes for mothers and infants. This study aims to examine the relationship between childbirth satisfaction and maternal confidence during early postpartum period in mothers from maternity units of San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study utilizing Women's Views of Birth Labour Satisfaction Questionnaire (WOMBLSQ) and Maternal Confidence Questionnaire (MCQ). To correlate the level of childbirth satisfaction and maternal role confidence of early postpartum mothers, Pearson's R correlation was used. A p value of 0.05 was taken for statistical significance. It revealed that the early postpartum mother respondents in the study were satisfied with their childbirth experience and confident with their maternal role. Moreover, the childbirth satisfaction was positively correlated with maternal role confidence. It is implicated in the practice of healthcare professionals to provide better understanding of the factors that influence maternal role within their particular social contexts.
