About

Motivation, which is also necessary for the breastfeeding behavior of mothers in the postpartum period, can affect the success and continuity of breastfeeding. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of hypno-breastfeeding and solution-oriented approach on breastfeeding motivation and insufficient milk perception in mothers. It is a randomized controlled experimental study. The sample of the study consisted of 90 women who met the inclusion criteria, three groups as the hypno-breastfeeding group, the solution-focused approach group and the control group.

Full description

Hypno-breastfeeding, which is a mind-body program that helps to increase breast milk production, is a therapy that includes emotion control, pain management, and positive suggestions that define the mother's role in the breastfeeding process. This method, in comfortable, calm and natural conditions, is effective in increasing the amount of milk by eliminating phobias, anxiety and negative thoughts in the mind of the mother, relaxing and concentrating on breastfeeding. The solution-oriented approach, on the other hand, is a therapeutic counseling practice that does not deal with the problem itself, but focuses on the past successes of the individual and the times when they did not experience the problem. In solution-oriented approach, which argues that each individual can solve their problems with their own internal resources by only directing them to the positive, it focuses on the strengths of the person instead of underlining the weaknesses. No study has been found on the effect of solution-oriented approach on breastfeeding process in the perinatal period. However, there are studies that show that the application of solution-oriented approach, which will make a different contribution to midwifery philosophies, is effective in reducing the fear of birth and reducing the anxiety of mothers who have anxiety about premature baby care. It is thought that with the effective use of the hypno-breastfeeding method and solution-oriented approach by midwives and health personnel, the perception of insufficient milk of mothers during the breastfeeding process can be reduced and breastfeeding motivation will be positively affected. In this context, this study aimed to determine the effect of hypno-breastfeeding and solution-oriented approach on breastfeeding motivation and insufficient milk perception.
