Brief summary

This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effect of an animation film on breastfeeding self-efficacy and maternal attachment levels in women with perceived insufficient milk. Women who perceive their breast milk as insufficient often experience decreased breastfeeding confidence and difficulties in mother-infant bonding. The animation film developed within the scope of the study provides information and supportive guidance about breastfeeding. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to improving breastfeeding self-efficacy and strengthening maternal attachment.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALAnimation Film Intervention

Women who had a score of 25 or higher on the Perceived Insufficient Milk Scale were included in the study and randomly assigned to the intervention group. Baseline assessments were conducted using the Woman Information Form, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale, and Postpartum Bonding Scale before the intervention. Participants then watched an animation film developed to address perceived insufficient milk. Follow-up assessments using the same scales were conducted at the first week and at the first month
