- Brief Summary
OBJECTIVE: The research was conducted to examine the effects of progressive relaxation exercises on mothers' breastfeeding status, self-efficacy and maternal attachment level.
- Detailed Description
may 2022 and November 2022. The sample of the study consisted of 114 mothers who were breastfeeding in the postpartum period. In the study, 38 breastfeeding mothers were included in the PGE, GFM and control groups. Breastfeeding mothers in the PGE group were given a PGE application 3 days a week before going to bed and for 4 weeks, accompanied by a training CD prepared by the Turkish Psychological Association, under the supervision of the researcher. On the other hand, the breastfeeding mothers in the GFM group were listened to the relaxation background music included in the Progressive Relaxation Exercise CD 3 days a week before going to bed and for 4 weeks. Mothers in the control group received routine care practices applied in the clinic. The mothers in the control group did not receive any intervention and only measurement tools were applied. 'Personal Information Form', 'Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale' and 'Maternal Attachment Scale', 'Visual Analog Scale', 'Breastfeeding Classification' were used to collect data. Standard Deviation, Mean, Frequency and Chi-square tests were used to evaluate the data. Analysis of variance was used for repetitive measurements for the evaluation of breastfeeding self-efficacy and maternal attachment level within the group, and one-way analysis of variance was used for the evaluation between groups.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in breastfeeding self-efficacy score averages change in breastfeeding self-efficacy scores in the first two weeks postpartum, in the 1st and 2nd months after birth To determine the breastfeeding self-efficacy score averages, the breastfeeding self-efficacy scale average scores were compared, and the breastfeeding self-efficacy scale was applied to the mothers.The scale assessing breastfeeding self-efficacy is a 5-point Likert type (1 = Not at all sure, 2 = Very unsure, 3 = Sometimes sure, 4 = Sure, 5 = Very sure). All items of the scale have a positive meaning. The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 70 and the lowest score is 14. The scale has no cut-off point. Increasing scores on the scale indicate high breastfeeding self-efficacy.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method change in maternal attachment score averages postpartum 1st month and 2nd months after birth To determine the maternal attachment mean scores, the maternal attachment mean scores were compared and the maternal attachment scale was applied to the mothers.Each item ranges from "always" to "never" and is a 4-point Likert-type scale. It is calculated as always (a) = 4 points, often (b) = 3 points, sometimes (c) = 2 points and never (d) = 1 point, and each item contains direct expressions. The lowest score obtained from the scale varies between 26 and the highest score 104. The higher the score obtained from the scale, the higher the maternal attachment is considered to be.
