Brief Summary

The physiological effects of music therapy include creating a behavioral change and changing the mood by reducing psychophysiological stress, pain, anxiety and isolation. Music has the ability to create deep relaxation. It is known to have relieving effects on insomnia. In addition, it has been reported that music therapy application before and during birth reduces labor pain and reduces postpartum anxiety and depression levels. The postpartum period, which begins with the birth of the newborn, covers the 6-8 week period that it takes for the changes that occur in the woman's body during pregnancy to return to its pre-pregnancy state. This period is an important transition period in which physical, social and emotional changes occur in mothers. In addition to rapid anatomical and physiological changes, mothers experience a difficult process in which the transition to motherhood is experienced, new roles and responsibilities are assumed, and relationships with their spouses and other family members are reorganized. Although a woman begins to feel the changes that having a baby creates in her daily life during pregnancy, she usually experiences the biggest change after the baby is born. The period when the first emotional bond between the newborn and her family is formed and a sense of trust develops is defined as mother-baby bonding. Many factors affect mother-baby bonding in the postpartum period, which is the most important time when the bond established between the expectant mother and the baby during pregnancy, referred to as prenatal bonding, is strengthened after birth. It is particularly affected by the mother's upbringing, as well as her experiences during pregnancy, birth, puerperium, and the baby's first months. Healthy and early interaction between mother and baby initiates a healthy bonding process.
