NCT07281339

Brief Summary

It is thought that hypnobreastfeeding training given to high-risk pregnant women will reduce anxiety levels, increase lactation, encourage breastfeeding, reduce the perception of insufficient milk, and facilitate adaptation to the postpartum breastfeeding process. According to the results of the power analysis, at least 68 high-risk pregnant women, 34 experimental and 34 control, should be included in the study. Data will be collected with the "Pregnancy Information Form", "Anxiety Assessment Scale", " Infant Feeding Intention Instrument", "Postpartum Information Form", "Perception of Insufficient Milk Questionnaire" and "Breastfeeding Adaptation Scale". In the research, hypnobreastfeeding training will be applied by the researcher to the high-risk pregnant women in the experimental group.
