Pregnancy and birth are one of the most significant events that cause changes in human life. This change is the transformation process of men and women into parents. Birth is a multidimensional and important life experience that affects a woman's life physically, psychologically, and socially. Mother-infant bonding is an abstract concept that starts to develop during pregnancy, that influences individuals throughout their lives, and that affects interpersonal relationships in social life. The continuity of positive bonding between mother, father and the infant is very important for a healthy development of social life. There are many factors that affect the development of this bond. Birth experience also shapes the formation of the bonding concept, which has important effects on human life. The permanent and strong effect of the birth experience on humans can cause positive and negative consequences, especially in women with a perception of traumatic birth, the mother-infant bonding may be negatively affected. In order to prevent the birth from becoming a traumatic situation for the mother, it is very important for the nurse to identify the risky group, evaluate it, and support the woman and her family. This study aims to draw attention to mother-infant bonding by examining the relationship between mother-infant bonding and the perception of traumatic birth in the context of the literature, and to draw attention to the responsibilities of the obstetric nurse.
