Effect of Hypnobreastfeeding Education in High-Risk Pregnant Women

Hypnobreastfeeding training provided to high-risk pregnant women is believed to reduce anxiety, increase lactation, encourage breastfeeding, reduce the perception of insufficient milk supply, and facilitate postpartum breastfeeding adaptation. This will ensure the baby receives adequate and healthy nutrition and the mother's self-confidence increases. Furthermore, hypnobreastfeeding training will contribute to a more comfortable, informed, and peaceful breastfeeding experience for the mother. This will positively impact both the pregnancy and the health of both mother and baby. The study was planned to evaluate the effects of hypnobreastfeeding training given to high-risk pregnant women on anxiety levels, breastfeeding intentions, postpartum perception of insufficient milk, and breastfeeding adaptation. 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.
