About this study

Official title: The Effect of Neuro Linguistic Program and Progressive Muscle Relaxation Exercises on Breastfeeding Success and Breastfeeding Self-efficacy After Caesarean Section

The effect of neuro linguistic program and progressive muscle relaxation exercises on breastfeeding success and breastfeeding self-efficacy after caesarean section.

Read the detailed description

In this research, it is aimed to detemine the effect of neuro linguistic program and progressive muscle relaxation exercises on breastfeeding success and breastfeeding self-efficacy after caesarean section.

Sample size:

  • There will be three groups in the study (two experimental groups and one control group).
  • The sample size of the study is 99 people. The sample size will be divided into three and 33 people will be randomly assigned to each group.
  • Experiment 1 group: neuro linguistic programme (NLP) group.
  • Experiment 2 group: progressive muscle relaxation exercises (PMRE) group.
  • Control group: non-intervention group

Data Collection Tools;

  • Introductory Information Form,
  • Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale,
  • Breastfeeding Charting System (LATCH)

Application time:

  • NLP and PMRE interventions will be started at the sixth postoperative hour after caesarean section.
  • Mothers who give birth by caesarean section are followed up in hospital for 48 hours and mothers are then discharged when their health condition improves. Therefore, data will be collected within 48 hours after caesarean section.
  • NLP and PMRE groups will be started at the sixth postoperative hour, 3 times in 24 hours on the first day, 3 times in 24 hours on the second day, six times in total.
  • Only NLP and PMRE will not be applied to the control group.
  • Care and follow-up will be performed in parallel with the individuals in the experimental group.

Measurement time:

  • Mothers will fill in the Introductory Information Form, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale, Breastfeeding Diagnosis and Assessment Measurement Tool (LATCH) before the application at the sixth postoperative hour.
  • Then, in the first 24 hours, the necessary application will be performed once every eight hours according to the groups (for example, NLP application for experiment 1).
  • At the end of 24th hour, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale and Breastfeeding Diagnosis and Assessment Measurement Tool (LATCH) will be completed.
  • Then, in the second 24 hours, the interventions will be repeated once every eight hours.
  • The total number of application sessions is six.
  • NLP application will last 20 minutes each session and PMRE application will last 20 minutes each session.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
NEURO LINGUISTIC PROGRAMExperimentalfirst experimental group. It will be administered to primiparous mothers after caesarean section in the first 48 hours after the sixth postoperative hour, once every eight hours, for a total of six times. Each session will last 20 minutes. In the NLP application; firstly, the most frequently used visual, auditory and/or tactile representation system of the woman will be determined. Then, the internal and external reactions caused by the symptoms after caesarean section, her feelings and thoughts about her baby and breastfeeding will be combined with the anchoring technique. Then, with the swish technique, the existing negative emotions will be reduced and tried to be deleted from the most frequently used representation system. The woman's negative thoughts about breastfeeding will be changed in a positive direction with the belief change model.

It will be administered to primiparous mothers after caesarean section in the first 48 hours after the sixth postoperative hour, once every eight hours, for a total of six times. Each session will last 20 minutes. PMRE; All muscles of the body will be tried to be relaxed respectively with the commands given gradually.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. BREASTFEEDING SUCCESS

    Breastfeeding Charting System (LATCH); The measurement tool has no cut-off point, and as the LATCH score increases, it is understood that the process is high. The maximum score that can be obtained is 10. The sum of lower scores indicates that the mother is dependent on help.

    Measured: immediately before the first application

  2. BREASTFEEDING SUCCESS

    Breastfeeding Charting System (LATCH)

    Measured: immediately after the third application (at the 24th hour after the first application)

  3. BREASTFEEDING SUCCESS

    Breastfeeding Charting System (LATCH)

    Measured: immediately after the sixth application (at the 48th hour after the first application)

  4. BREASTFEEDING SELF-EFFICACY

    Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale; A minimum of 14 points and a maximum of 70 points can be obtained from the scale. All are positive elements. The higher the score from the scale, the higher breastfeeding self-efficacy will be achieved.

    Measured: immediately before the first application

  5. BREASTFEEDING SELF-EFFICACY

    Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale

    Measured: immediately after the third application (at the 24th hour after the first application)

  6. BREASTFEEDING SELF-EFFICACY

    Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale

    Measured: immediately after the sixth application (at the 48th hour after the first application)
