Overview
Brief Summary
This study was planned to determine the effect of the emotional liberation technique on breastfeeding in women experiencing motherhood sadness.
Detailed Description
Maternity blues is defined as a group of psychological and psychosomatic symptoms that generally affect women within 10-15 days after birth and are not considered a pathological condition. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is an evidence-based method that combines acupressure with elements from cognitive and exposure therapies. EFT has become widely used in medical and psychological treatment settings in recent years. It is also used as a self-help technique by millions of people every year.
For mothers experiencing motherhood blues, the opportunity to freely express and share their feelings can provide emotional relief. This can help reduce stress and make the mother feel more comfortable. Emotional comfort and support of the mother can positively affect breastfeeding performance. Reducing emotional stress can increase milk production and help the mother have a better breastfeeding experience.
For this reason, this study was planned to determine the effect of the emotional liberation technique on breastfeeding in women experiencing motherhood sadness.
