Feeling at home is an important aspect of a long stay in a temporary dwelling, which becomes the general ward of a round-the-clock hospital in a children's clinical hospital for women after an operative delivery (cesarean section) in Russia. However, the absence of this feeling in the conditions of a total institution contributes to an increase in anxiety and fears of mothers, leads to changes in the emotional sphere (which probably aggravates postpartum depression) and a desire to return home with their newborn child as soon as possible. The article analyzes the reasons and consequences of why a woman in a hospital (on the example of Novosibirsk) cannot feel at home despite the presence of certain factors that contribute to this. As a result of the study, a conclusion is drawn about the need to improve the comfort of women in Russian hospitals, organize psychological assistance and teach young mothers to take care of children.
