Research Hypotheses H1a: The intervention group\'s breastfeeding self-efficacy after hypno-breastfeeding counseling is different from the control group. H1b: The intervention group\'s breastfeeding success after hypno-breastfeeding counseling is different from the control group. This thesis is a randomized controlled experimental study. The study is planned to be conducted with two parallel groups, namely the intervention and control groups. Hypno-breastfeeding training will be applied to the intervention group, and standard breastfeeding training will be applied to the control group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy

  The first form of the scale developed by Dennis and Faux was designed with 33 items, but after a second study, Dennis revised the scale and created a short form of 14 items (5). The Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted by Aluş Tokat and colleagues (6). The scale can be applied in the prenatal and postnatal periods and measures how adequate women feel about breastfeeding. The items of the five-point Likert-type scale are scored as not at all sure (1), not very sure (2), sometimes sure (3), sure (4), very sure (5). The lowest score that can be obtained from the entire evaluation scores of the scale is 14 and the highest score is 70. A low total score obtained from the scale indicates that the perception of breastfeeding self-efficacy is low.

Counseling based on the philosophy of hypnobreastfeeding

EXPERIMENTAL

Hypno-breastfeeding is a method that involves a natural effort to use subconscious energy so that the breastfeeding process can proceed comfortably and smoothly and the mother can produce enough breast milk for the baby's growth and development needs (AIMI, 2010; Sofiyanti et al., 2019). With hypno-breastfeeding, the breastfeeding process takes place comfortably and the mother subconsciously registers that breastfeeding is a natural and comfortable process (Sembırıng, 2017; Altıparmak, 2021; Kilçi Erciyas and Sevil, 2021). In the philosophy of hypno-breastfeeding, positive schemas for breastfeeding are created in the subconscious. By focusing on the use of the primitive brain, the stimulation of the neocortex with unnecessary information and stimuli is avoided (Aluş Tokat and Gökçe İsbir, 2023). This technique, which helps to facilitate a holistic look at the mind, body and soul of breastfeeding mothers, allows the mother to be more relaxed, calm and comfortable during breastfeeding
