Summary

This study is being conducted to examine the effect of a motivational interviewing-based breastfeeding education intervention provided to mothers whose infants are hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit on the mothers' breastfeeding motivation and breastfeeding self-efficacy.

Detailed description

Midwives and nurses working in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) are in a unique position to support the breastfeeding process and breastfeeding self-efficacy of mothers whose babies are hospitalized in the NICU. Health care professionals can use a variety of methods to support mothers' breastfeeding self-efficacy and encourage breastfeeding. Individualized interventions, breastfeeding education, and motivational interviewing are some of them. Motivational interviewing is basically a client-centered psychosocial intervention that helps individuals discover and resolve ambivalent feelings about health behaviors, learn new skills, and improve existing skills. In the breastfeeding process, the mother's motivation and positive intention are shown to be important indicators of breastfeeding continuation. Health education about breastfeeding provided by neonatal intensive care nurses to mothers whose babies are hospitalized in the NICU for various reasons is one of the important initiatives of nurses. The contribution of health education planned with effective educational techniques for both mother and baby is undoubtedly very valuable. However, one of the important variables that should not be forgotten in the success of this education provided by the nurse is motivation, which also affects the self-efficacy of mothers regarding breastfeeding. In order to ensure the readiness of mothers to be educated about the breastfeeding process and breastfeeding of the infant hospitalized in the NICU, it would be appropriate to support the health education planned for mothers whose infants are hospitalized in the NICU with a motivational interviewing intervention. Based on this information, the planned research will examine the effect of motivational interviewing-based breastfeeding education provided to mothers whose infants are hospitalized in the NICU on mothers' breastfeeding motivation and breastfeeding self-efficacy.
