Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of guided imagery after cesarean section on mother-infant bonding and breastfeeding. The study will be carried out in two different groups. The practice will start with meeting the women 6-10 hours after cesarean section. After the women are evaluated in terms of eligibility criteria for the research, the women who are eligible will be informed about the research and written informed consent will be obtained from the women who accept. The random distribution of women to the study groups will be carried out using the Block Randomization method. The following applications will be made to the groups. Intervention Group; The individuals in this group will be provided with guided imagery application. Guided imagery will be applied to the participants in the hospital environment 6-10 hours after the cesarean section. Afterwards, guided imagery application will be requested every day for two weeks. Control Group; The participants in the control group will perform routine care of the clinic.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Change in how to feed baby
Nutrient content that she feeds her baby (Breastmilk, formula etc)
Baseline, 7th day, 14th day
Change in The Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale
The scale consists of eight adjectives (loving, resentful, neutral or felt nothing, joyful, dislike, protective, disappointed and aggressive), each followed by a four-point Likert scale ranging from "Very much" (0) to "Not at all" (5). When the adjective reflects a negative emotional response, the scoring is reversed. Thus, possible scores on the scale range between 0 and 24, with high scores indicating a problematic mother-to-infant bond (Taylor et al. 2005).
Baseline, 7th day, 14th day
Change in Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale
The 14-item scale was developed by Dennis (2003). The scale is a 5-point Likert-type scale (1= 'I am not sure at all' and 5 = 'I am always sure'). The scale's minimum score is 14 and the maximum score is 70. An elevated score shows an increase in breastfeeding self-efficacy.
Baseline, 7th day, 14th day
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Change in Perception of Insufficient Milk Questionnaire
Baseline, 7th day, 14th day
