The Effect of Nature Images Accompanied by Music on Breastfeeding, Breastfeeding Satisfaction and Maternal Attachment"

Primary outcomes

1. Socio-Demographic Data Survey

   Time frame: Ten days

   It consists of 14 questions about the sociodemographic characteristics of mothers, prepared by the researcher through a literature review on the subject and in line with the suggestions of the thesis monitoring committee members."

2. LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnostic and Evaluation Scale

   Time frame: Ten days

   It is a diagnostic method used to evaluate breastfeeding success, first created in 1986 by likening it to the APGAR score system in terms of scoring method. The average application time varies between 7-10 minutes. It consists of five evaluation criteria, and the abbreviation of the first letters of the English equivalents of these criteria forms the name of the scale. L; latch on the breast, A; audible swallowing, T; type of the nipple, C; comfort breast/nipple, and H; hold/help. Each item is evaluated between 0-2 points. The highest total score that can be obtained is 10, and a high score indicates high breastfeeding success. The Turkish reliability study of the tool was conducted by Yenal and Okumuş, and it was found to be a suitable and reliable diagnostic tool for use. While the Cronbach's alpha value of the original form of the scale was found to be 0.93, it was found to be 0.95 in the Turkish adaptation study.

3. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

   Time frame: Ten days

   It is an extremely simple, effective, and repeatable measurement tool that requires minimal equipment and can be used to measure pain, nausea, vomiting, and satisfaction. The VAS is a 10 cm long scale drawn horizontally or vertically. The easiest way to assess satisfaction is to ask the individual if they are satisfied. However, a yes or no answer is not sufficient to evaluate satisfaction. Therefore, the use of a scale in assessing satisfaction transforms the quality of satisfaction described by individuals/patients with numbers or words into an objective measure, eliminating different interpretations among the healthcare team providing patient care. The visual analog scale consists of numbers ranging from 0 to 10. In evaluating patient satisfaction, 0 is considered not at all satisfied and 10 is considered very satisfied.

4. Maternal Attachment Scale

   Time frame: Ten days

   Each item is a 26-item, four-point Likert scale ranging from "always" to "never." Each item contains direct statements and is scored as follows: Always (a) = 4 points, Often (b) = 3 points, Sometimes © = 2 points, and Never (d) = 1 point. A high score indicates a high level of maternal attachment. The lowest score obtainable from the scale is 26, and the highest score is 104.
