Hypno-Breastfeeding Education and Postpartum Outcomes

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Postpartum Anxiety

In brief

This randomized controlled trial aims to examine the effects of hypno-breastfeeding-based education on postpartum anxiety, self-compassion, breastfeeding motivation, and breastfeeding self-efficacy among mothers in the early postpartum period. The postpartum period is a critical phase characterized by significant physical and psychological changes. Primiparous mothers, in particular, may experience anxiety, lack of confidence, and reduced motivation for breastfeeding, which may negatively affect breastfeeding success and mother-infant bonding. The study will be conducted with 102 primiparous mothers aged 18-40 years within the first 72 hours postpartum. Participants will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group will receive hypno-breastfeeding-based education, while the control group will receive routine care. The educational program includes principles of hypnosis, breastfeeding knowledge, anxiety management, self-efficacy enhancement, and self-awareness techniques, supported by guided relaxation, breathing exercises, and positive suggestion methods. Data will be collected using validated scales, including the Postpartum-Specific Anxiety Scale, Self-Compassion Scale, Breastfeeding Motivation Scale, and Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale. Appropriate statistical analyses will be performed. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of psychoeducational nursing interventions, reduce postpartum anxiety, improve breastfeeding outcomes, and strengthen maternal adaptation.
