Maternal Role Attainment was founded by which theorist?
Romana Mercer
What are the Stages of Maternal Role Attainment?
1.Anticipatory
2.Formal
3.Informal
4.Personal
Ensuring high-quality prenatal care can help
expectant mothers in the Philippines prepare for their
maternal role. This includes educating them about pregnancy,
childbirth, and infant care, which aligns with the anticipatory
stage of Mercer’s theory.
Prenatal Care
: Providing support to new mothers
through community health programs can help them transition
through the formal and informal stages of maternal role
attainment. This support can include home visits by nurses,
breastfeeding support groups, and parenting classes.
Postnatal Care
Understanding and integrating cultural
practices and beliefs into maternal care can enhance the
personal stage of maternal role attainment. In the Philippines,
where family and community play a significant role, involving
extended family members in the care process can be
beneficial.

Cultural Sensitivity
The theory is also applicable to
nontraditional mothers, such as adoptive or foster
mothers, who may need additional support to develop a
strong maternal identity. Programs tailored to these
mothers can help them bond with their children and feel
confident in their maternal role.
NonTraditional mothers
Ongoing research and
education on maternal role attainment can help
healthcare providers in the Philippines better support
mothers. Studies, such as those conducted at the
University of the Philippines, highlight the importance of
prenatal care and maternal-fetal attachment
Research and Education
Who founded the “Maternal Identity” Theory

support to expectant mothers, helping them
navigate the psychological changes and anxieties
associated with pregnancy.
➢ Education: Educating mothers about the physical and
emotional changes during pregnancy can help them
prepare for motherhood.

social support theory, nurses can offer continuous
support during labor, which has been shown to
improve labor outcomes.
➢ Empathy and Communication: Effective
communication and empathy are crucial during labor
to help mothers feel understood and supported.
Intrapartum Care
➢ Facilitating Maternal Role Attainment: Nurses can
assist new mothers in bonding with their infants and
developing confidence in their maternal role.

support groups can help mothers share experiences
and gain support from others in similar situations.
Postpartum Care
➢ Preterm Births: Nurses can provide specialized
support to mothers of preterm infants, helping them
navigate the unique challenges and emotional stress
associated with preterm births.
➢ Mothers of Infants with Health Issues: Tailored
support and education for mothers of infants with
anomalies or chronic illnesses can help them cope
and develop a strong maternal identity
