Scand J Caring Sci; 2020; 34: 456-463 The relationship between breastfeeding attitudes and perceived stress levels of Turkish mothers Aims: In the present study, it was aimed to investigate the relationships between breastfeeding attitude and perceived stress levels of Turkish mothers. Methods: In this descriptive study, the Personal Information Form prepared by the researchers, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS) were used to collect the study data. The present study included 788 mothers having 0-6 month-old infants. The data obtained were with the independent t-test, one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation analyses. Findings:The mean scores of the participants obtained from the PSS and IIFAS were 25.60 AE 7.3 and 61 AE 6.6, respectively. At the end of the correlation analysis, it was observed that breastfeeding attitude decreased as the perceived stress level increased in mothers. Conclusions:The results of the research indicated that as the perceived stress levels of mothers in the postpartum period increased, their breastfeeding attitudes decreased. It is suggested that nurses should support women by providing education and counselling during pregnancy and postpartum period.

“…For this reason, studies on the attitudes of mothers about breastfeeding are not sufficient. The Turkish version of IIFAS, validity and reliability study conducted by Eksioglu et al 6 in 2016, can be suggested as an effective measurement tool. The Turkish version of IIFAS was found to be a valid and reliable tool to examine the mothers' attitudes towards breastfeeding, statistically.…”

Background: In this study, we examined the breastfeeding attitudes of mothers whose babies are in intensive care unit and the change of thought, after breastfeeding training given to mothers during they were staying as accompanying mothers. Methods: This study was conducted on the mothers whose babies were hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit between May and July 2019. Before the training entitled "The Importance of Breastmilk and Breastfeeding" was given to mothers during their babies were intensive care unit, a face-to-face interview questionnaire and the IOWA Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS) were applied. After the training, IIFAS was applied to the mothers again. Results: A total of 51 mothers participated in our study. The mean age of the mothers was 27.77 ± 5.8 years. The mean IIFAS score of the mothers was 66.35 ± 5.11 before the training and 74.5 ± 5.55 after the training. While only 15 (31.3%) of the mothers had an intention of breastfeeding before the training, 40 mothers (83.3%) had an intention of breastfeeding, after the training. We observed a significant increase in the mean IIFAS score after the training. Conclusion: When we compare the attitudes of mothers, regarding breastfeeding their babies before and after breastfeeding training, it was observed that the trainings positively affected their attitudes. Growing healthy generations can only be achieved by feeding with breast milk and increasing the rate of breastfeeding can be achieved by increasing the awareness in the society.

“…Pope et al (2016) reported there was a relationship between the woman's mood and breastfeeding attitude. Breastfeeding support is associated with reducing the stress level of the woman and thus positively affecting breastfeeding attitude (Eksio glu et al, 2016). Breastfeeding self-efficacy (BSE) is defined as a mother's perception of her ability to breastfeed her baby and produce sufficient milk.…”

Aim To examine the effects of breastfeeding support given by video call on anxiety, breastfeeding self‐efficacy, and newborn outcomes. Methods We conducted a randomized controlled experimental trial with 72 women and their babies. Participants were randomly assigned to the intervention (video call) group (VCG: standard care + video call) and control group (CG: standard care). The primary outcomes of this study were the mean postpartum maternal anxiety level and the mean breastfeeding self‐efficacy level. The secondary outcome was neonatal outcomes. This study followed the CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) checklist. Results Women in VCG had lower anxiety levels than the CG at postpartum 2 weeks (mean difference [MD] 25.42, p = .000) and 1 month (MD 47.72, p = .000). The breastfeeding self‐efficacy level of women in the VCG was higher than the CG at postpartum 2 weeks (MD 13.18, p = .007) and 1 month (MD 10.1, p = .001). The newborns in VCG had higher weight gain and daily breastfeeding frequency than the CG at the postpartum second week (MD 9.64, p = .001, MD 2.88, p = .000; respectively) and 1 month (MD 47.16, p = .000, MD 2.98, p = .000; respectively). There were lower rates of challenges of breastfeeding, hyperbilirubinemia, and feeding with formula in VCG than CG at the postpartum second week (p = .043, p = .043, p = .039; respectively). Conclusions Breastfeeding support via video calling has positive effects on maternal anxiety, breastfeeding self‐efficacy, and newborn health. Postpartum caregivers may benefit from video calling for breastfeeding support.
