Objective: This study aimed to determine satisfaction with birth and affecting factors in women who gave birth. Material and method: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 387 primipara and multipara women who gave birth at a public hospital located in Bolu. Data was collected using a questionnaire form and was analyzed using descriptive statistical methods, independent samples t-test, chi-square test, one way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation. Results: Mean age of the women was 28.33±5.16 and 68.7% were multipara. Among the women who participated in the study, 50.4% gave normal birth and 33.1% had planned Csections. It was found that the mean level of satisfaction with birth was good (7.49 ± 3.05), that women who gave birth vaginally had higher satisfaction with birth compared to women who had planned or emergency C-sections (p<0.001), and that vacuum-forceps delivery applications (p<0.05) and experiencing medical and infant-related problems during labor reduced satisfaction with birth (p<0.01). In the study, it was determined that women who had social security, who were unemployed, and who were multipara had higher satisfaction with birth (p<0.05). Participants’ satisfaction with birth was weak negatively associated with postpartum pain and was weak positively associated with early mobilization and holding the baby at an anticipated time schedule (p<0.001). Among the women who gave birth vaginally, 89.2% stated that they wanted to give their next birth vaginally as well, while 76.6% of the women who had a C-section wanted to give their next birth using the same route. Conclusion: It was determined that postpartum women had good levels of satisfaction with birth before discharge, that women who gave birth vaginally had higher satisfaction with mode of birth, and that there was a relationship between the present mode of birth and future plans regarding mode of birth.
