Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study was planned to determine the effect of showing photographs, videos and live images of premature babies who could not be breastfed in the neonatal intensive care unit to their mothers on the amount of breast milk, mother-infant attachment and breastfeeding self-efficacy.

It is a randomized controlled experimental study.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Separation of the baby from the mother, being admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit can quickly increase the mother's fears about her baby's health and appearance, it can be interpreted as a crisis for the family. When the baby is in the intensive care unit, it also becomes difficult for parents to participate in the care of the baby.

In this case, one of the negative emotions that parents often experience is anxiety.

In general, mothers experience more intense stress than fathers.The mother, who is away from her baby's care, feels tense, irritable and confused. She makes an effort to reach her baby, and when she fails to do so, she finds herself helpless and powerless. The neonatal intensive care nurse and the Women's Health nurse play a major role in the initiation of breastfeeding and the continuation of breastfeeding in pre-term newborns.

Early milking of mothers after premature birth increases breast milk production.

Despite early and frequent milking, some mothers may experience lower milk volume and milk production in the first few weeks. Therefore, mothers with premature babies should practice frequent breastfeeding/milking, massage and compression, hot application, acupuncture, yoga and relaxation exercises, etc., in order to increase prolactin secretion and increase breast milk production. focused on non-pharmacological methods such as. Another method that is considered effective is to show the mother a photo or video of the baby during milking. However, in the literature review, the number of available studies on this subject is only 2.

One of these studies was done in 2020. The other study was done in 2021. More work is needed on this subject. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of watching photos, videos and live images of babies during milking on the amount of breast milk, mother-infant attachment and breastfeeding self-efficacy.
