What this trial studies
This research evaluates the impact of natural landscape images accompanied by music on breastfeeding, maternal satisfaction, and attachment in first-time mothers. Conducted as a randomized controlled study, it involves 90 primiparous mothers who will receive breastfeeding education and participate in an intervention where they view nature scenes with music during breastfeeding sessions. The study will assess outcomes using various scales before and after the intervention, which includes multiple sessions both in the hospital and at home.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are Turkish-speaking primiparous mothers over 18 years old who are capable of breastfeeding without complications.
Not a fit: Patients who are non-primiparous, have psychiatric illnesses, or face breastfeeding challenges will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance breastfeeding experiences and strengthen maternal attachment for new mothers.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific combination of nature images and music is novel, similar studies have shown positive effects of music therapy on maternal and infant outcomes.
