Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• The Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)

  The scale is a 20-item self-report measure of anxiety using a 4-point Likert-type scale (from 0 to 3 points) for each item. The total score obtained from the scale varies between 20 and 80. A large score indicates a high level of anxiety, and a small score indicates a low level of anxiety.

  Change from Baseline level of Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety to 2 months (change is being assessed)]

• Maternal Attachment Scale

  The scale consists of 26 statements and is a four-point Likert type. High score indicates that maternal attachment is high. The scores obtained from the scale range from a minimum of 26 to a maximum of 104 points

  Change from Baseline level of Maternal Attachment Scale at 2 months (change is being assessed)].

• Postnatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale

  The scale is 5-point Likert type and consists of 14 items. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 14, and the highest score is 70. A higher score means higher breastfeeding self-efficacy.

  Change from Baseline level of Postnatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale at 2 months (change is being assessed)].

"Mandala Activity-Based Breastfeeding Program" OTHER

Training modules for breastfeeding and Maternal -infant attachment will be implemented with pregnant women in the study group at 32-36 weeks of gestation. The training will be explained by the researchers by shooting a video. In addition, for each week, mandala drawings will be videotaped by the researcher who received mindfulness-based art therapy training and will be sent to the Whatsapp accounts of the pregnant women. t 36 weeks of gestation, the Prenatal Attachment Scale and Spielberger State Anxiety Inventories will be sent to mothers as Google forms. The mother will be called 24 hours after the birth and the situation of having a problem with breastfeeding will be determined. In the first week, in the first and second months after the birth, questionnaire forms and online questionnaires will be applied to the mothers, apart from the follow-up and counseling in the postpartum 2nd month, the posttests of the scales
