The Effect of Breastfeeding Counseling on Social Support Perception, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy and Outcomes

Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Resources Developing Nurse Consultancy Program (EMÖZGEDAP) was developed based on Denis's Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy theory along with the hypnobreastfeeding philosophy. In the individual counseling program focusing on the philosophy of hypnobreastfeeding, it will be emphasized that breastfeeding is an intuitive, natural, and unique process. Techniques such as affirmations, breathing exercises, relaxation, endorphin, serotonin, and oxytocin-enhancing practices will be used. Concepts from Dennis' breastfeeding self-efficacy theory will be integrated into the training program. The individual counseling program will be carried out by adult education criteria, methods such as slide presentation, three-dimensional models, video, role-play, peer opinions with positive breastfeeding experiences, case discussion, and question and answer will be used.
