How does a salutogenic educational program affect postpartum quality of life (QoL) and maternal health outcomes in nulliparous women? | Implementing a salutogenic educational program will significantly improve postpartum QoL and maternal health outcomes compared to the control group | 110 nulliparous women in Ahvaz city, Khuzestan province, Iran, will be selected according to eligibility criteria and then randomly allocated to intervention and control groups using blocked randomization | Primary and secondary outcomes will be compared between the two groups using validated instruments at baseline, immediately after intervention, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks post-delivery | An increase in postpartum QoL and improved maternal health outcomes in the intervention group will indicate the program’s effectiveness, while no significant difference or lower outcomes will suggest the need for further refinement of the program |
