This study was planned to determine the effect of emotional freedom technique (EFT) on breastfeeding success and self-efficacy in primiparous women in the early postpartum period who had a cesarean delivery.
Full description
Breast milk is an easily digestible, natural food that reduces the morbidity and mortality of the newborn and contains the fluid, energy and nutrients necessary for its physical, spiritual and mental development. Breastfeeding not only has a biological effect on the mother and baby, but also has an emotional effect and has many immunological, psychological, social and economic benefits for both mother and baby. Therefore, it is of great importance that the baby be fed exclusively with breast milk for the first 6 months and that breastfeeding continues until the age of 2.
EFT, a needle-free and emotional form of acupuncture, is an energy technique that emerged from the idea that "The cause of all negative emotions is the disruption in the body's energy system." EFT; It can be safely applied to individuals of all ages, including the elderly, pregnant women and children. When looking at the literature, no studies were found regarding breastfeeding and EFT. It has been observed that primiparous women, especially those who have had a cesarean section, have difficulty breastfeeding. It is thought that breastfeeding will be reinforced and improved with EFT, which helps to eliminate negative emotions in the subconscious and create a positive mood.
