Background: Early and immediate postnatal care that is satisfactory has been defined as meeting the postnatal health care needs of mothers to the level of their expectations, making them feel happy, and enhancing their quality of life and wellbeing. The study's goal is to compare how satisfied mothers were with postnatal nursing interventions at home compared in a hospital. It evaluates mothers' satisfaction with their postpartum care as a foundation for their future use of postpartum care. The postnatal stage is the most important but also the most ignored stage in the mothers and newborns life, as the World Health Organization (World. Health. Organization, 2022). Methods: The study uses a quasi-experimental approach and a quantitative design. It was undertaken on 150 postpartum mothers who gave birth in the maternity hospital in Rania City, Kurdistan Region of Iraq, between December 30, 2020, and December 15, 2021. They were divided into three groups at random: one control group (n=50), two groups of intervention (the first group received postpartum care at home (n=50), and the other in a medical center (n=50).
