Findings: It was determined that the mothers' Traditional Motherhood Scale (TMS) mean score was 5.57±0.86. It was determined that 81.3% of the mothers believed that they fulfilled their motherhood role most of the time. It was found that there was a significant difference between the TMS score averages according to some descriptive characteristics such as mothers' education level, working status, perception of economic situation, total number of children, leaving the child to a caregiver, and leaving the child alone at home (p<0.05). Conclusion: According to the total mean score of the mothers in the TMS, it was seen that the mothers adopted traditional motherhood roles. It has been found that some descriptive characteristics of mothers (such as education level, employment status, perception of economic situation, total number of children, leaving the child to a caregiver and leaving the child alone at home) affect traditional motherhood mean scores.
