About this study
Official title: The Effect of Hypnobreastfeeding Education Given to Primiparas on Breastfeeding Myths, Expectations and Self-Efficacy
Hypnobreastfeeding is one of the education-based interventions used in this field. This study aims to evaluate the effect of hypnobreastfeeding education given to primiparous pregnant women on breastfeeding myths, breastfeeding expectations and breastfeeding self-efficacy. According to the results of the power analysis, at least 104 pregnant women, 52 experimental and 52 control, should be included in the study. Data were collected with the "Pregnant Introduction Form", "Breastfeeding Myths Scale", "Breastfeeding Expectations Scale-A" and "Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale". In the research, hypnobreastfeeding training was applied by the researcher to the primiparous pregnant women in the experimental group. The study was completed with 110 primiparous pregnant women, 54 in the experimental group and 56 in the control group.
Read the detailed description
Primiparous pregnant women may need support regarding the breastfeeding process because they have not had breastfeeding experience before. Negative breastfeeding stories and misinformation can affect beliefs, attitudes, and fears about breastfeeding. Education-based interventions provided by health professionals can be beneficial in reducing false beliefs and myths about breastfeeding, reducing breastfeeding-related fears/anxious expectations, and increasing breastfeeding self-efficacy. Hypnobreastfeeding is one of the education-based interventions used in this field. This study aims to evaluate the effect of hypnobreastfeeding education given to primiparous pregnant women on breastfeeding myths, breastfeeding expectations and breastfeeding self-efficacy.
