Brief Summary

The research is a randomized controlled experimental study. The study includes primiparous mothers hospitalized in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Service of Recep Tayyip Erdogan University Training and Research Hospital between 01/12/2022-01/10/2023. The population of the study will be composed of primiparous mothers hospitalized in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Service of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University Training and Research Hospital between 01/12/2022 and 01/10/2023. All mothers who were hospitalized in the gynecology service during the data collection period and met the inclusion criteria will be included in the study and sample selection will not be made. "Mother and Baby Descriptive Information Form", "Maternal Attachment Scale", "Postpartum Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form", "Semantic Difference Scale-Me as Mother" and "Sleep and Crying Diary" will be used to collect research data. Developing the 5S application, which is a baby calming technique, as an educational material in the research. A training booklet will be prepared and used by making use of the training materials that Harvey Karp shared with the researchers.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Maternal Attachment Scale

  The highest level of attachment occurs when the mother understands the baby's signs and symptoms and meets the baby's physical and emotional needs. A mother's loving attachment to her baby, that is, maternal attachment, is one of the most important elements that promotes the healthy growth and development of the child. MBI was developed in 1994. MDS is a 4-point Likert-type scale that includes 26 items and is answered between always (4 points) and never (1 point). An overall score is obtained from the sum of all items. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 26, and the highest score is 104. A high score indicates high maternal attachment. The validity and reliability of the scale for Turkish society was carried out in 2009 and it was determined that it would be suitable for mothers who have babies between one and four months after birth.

  9 MONTHS

• Postpartum Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form

  It was developed in 1999 to evaluate mothers' breastfeeding self-efficacy levels. The first version of the scale consists of 33 items. Later, in 2003, a 14-item short form of the scale was developed. It is easier to apply and evaluates self-efficacy correctly. The Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Short Form is a five-point Likert-type scale (1= "I am not sure at all" and 5 = "I am always sure"). The minimum score that can be obtained from the scale is 14, and the maximum score is 70. The higher the score, the higher the breastfeeding self-efficacy. The Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was carried out in 2010.

  9 MONTHS

• Semantic Difference Scale-Me as Mother

  This scale measures the evaluation dimensions of the concept of "myself as a mother". The scale consists of 11 semantic pairs of opposite adjectives with 11 items and 7 points. These 11 items are distributed within the 22 item opposite adjective pairs in the scale. Three items were evaluated with reverse scoring to prevent the participant from being biased while responding. The third, seventh, and eighth items were evaluated over "one" point instead of "seven" point. High total scores indicate positive maternal self-assessment. The scale was adapted to Turkish society in 2003.
