About this study

Official title: The Effect of Baby Yoga on Sleep, Maternal Attachment and Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy: Randomized Trials

The randomized controlled type study was conducted with 150 mothers and mothers who gave birth in the Haseki Training and Research Hospital Postpartum Service between February and February. The mothers included in the study were randomized 1:1 into 2 groups. The mothers of the babies in the intervention group were sent a "Baby Yoga" video shot by the researchers and asked to practice them at least 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Data are obtained with Data collection form, Mother-Infant Attachment Scale, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Short Form and Baby Sleep Diary.

Read the detailed description

This study was conducted in a randomized controlled type to examine the effect of infant yoga practiced by mothers on infants' sleep duration, maternal attachment and breastfeeding. The enrollment, assignment, follow-up and analysis steps of the trial were demonstrated using CONSORT 2018 (Updated Guidelines for Reporting Randomized Parallel Group Studies).

While the population of the study consisted of mothers and babies who gave birth in the Haseki Training and Research Hospital Obstetrics Clinic, the minimum sample number was calculated using G Power. Accordingly, it was found that the number of samples to be taken was 68 for each group, a total of 136 mothers and their babies. Considering that there would be losses, the sample was planned to be 150 mothers and their babies, 75 for each group.

Sample Selection Criteria

  • Babies born at term (37-40 weeks of gestation)
  • In the first postpartum week,
  • Healthy and singleton newborns were included. Sample Exclusion Criteria
  • Babies staying in the postnatal intensive care unit,
  • The mother has a physical disability,
  • The mother has a psychiatric illness,
  • Being pregnant using assisted reproductive techniques,
  • Not included if the mother or baby has a disability related to breastfeeding

Data Collection Tools The data of the study were obtained by using the Data Collection Form, Postnatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form, Mother-Infant Attachment Scale, and Sleep Diary.

Data Collection Stages Stage 1: 150 mothers and their babies who met the sample selection criteria were included in the study in the first postpartum week. Mothers were randomized into two groups as intervention and control. Data Collection Form, Postnatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form, Mother-Infant Attachment Scale, and Sleep Diary were administered to all mothers.

Stage 2: Intervention Group: A mother-baby yoga video prepared by the researchers was sent to the mothers in the intervention group. Before the mothers yoga practice, a 10-minute training was given about mother-baby yoga. Mothers were asked to do yoga at least 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Counseling and follow-up of the process were carried out by a researcher by calling the mothers once a week.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maternal Attecment

    Attachment level was measured with the Mother-Infant Attachment

    Measured: 16 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Baby Sleep

    Sleep characteristics of infants were measured by means of a sleep diary

    Measured: 16 weeks

  2. Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy

    Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Short Form The scale was developed by McCarter-Spaulding (2001) to measure how adequately the mother perceives her milk. The Insufficient Milk Perception scale consists of a total of 6 questions and a single subdivision. The first question on the scale is whether the mother finds her milk sufficient. The first question is answered as yes or no. The other 5 questions are scored between 0-10. The given score indicates that as it approaches zero, the mother perceives her milk as inadequate, and as she approaches 10, she perceives enough. A minimum of zero points and a maximum of 50 points can be obtained from the scale. The high score indicates that milk is sufficiently perceived. The cronbach α value of the scale was found to be 0.82 by Gökçeoğlu and Küçükoğlu (2017). In this study, the cronbach α value of the scale was found to be 0.85.

    Measured: 16 Weeks
