Question 1: Is a solution-oriented approach effective in increasing mothers' breastfeeding self-efficacy?

Detailed Description

Solution-Focused Approach (COS) is a therapeutic counseling method developed by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg et al. in the mid-1970s. This postmodern approach method focuses on the solution itself rather than going to the root of the problems, revealing the individual's past achievements and positive experiences. aims to remove.

One of the most important advantages of the Solution-Oriented Approach is that it is effective in a short time. Studies have shown that CFS can achieve the desired results between 6 and 10 sessions. It is important that the sessions and techniques of the Solution-Oriented Approach are used in harmony and that the sessions are structured. Particular attention is paid to the first session as it initiates the change and contributes to the process. In Solution-Oriented Approach, sessions are conducted as "first session" and "second and other sessions".

In this study, it is aimed to increase the psychosocial health levels of mothers in the postpartum period and to eliminate their concerns about breastfeeding and infant feeding, with a solution-oriented approach planned to be applied to mothers with low breastfeeding self-efficacy.
