    Breastfeeding experience of mothers with multiple babies: A phenomenological study
    (2022-03-01) KARAKOÇ, AYŞE; Kocabey Z., KARAKOÇ A.
    Objective: To determine the needs and underline the experiences of mothers by focusing on the experiences of mothers with multiple babies during their breastfeeding period. Methods: This is a phenomenological, qualitative study. A total of 13 mothers with three – to 13-month-old babies were interviewed in-depth and individually. The data were collected by a single observer with a personal information form containing individual characteristics of the participants and an interview form with semi-structured, open-ended questions. Results: The three main themes formed based on the interviews with mothers were the meaning of being a mother with multiple babies and breastfeeding them, challenging life experiences during breastfeeding, and the factors that affect motivation. The majority of the mothers expressed feelings including concern, fear, guilt, and frustration. All mothers stated that, after delivery, they needed a knowledgeable and dependable helper preferably not from the family and that they experienced conflicts in their relationships. Conclusion: It is important to maintain social, emotional, and physical support for mothers with multiple babies. Similarly, avoiding judgmental, questioning, and accusing expressions is essential to circumvent conflicts in relationships. It is recommended for mothers’ concerns to be addressed according to the source of the concern and for breastfeeding education content to be prepared accordingly. Each mother should be evaluated individually, and care plans and consultations should be prepared accordingly.

    The effect of breastfeeding, breast milk odour and mother's heartbeat sound on pain level in newborns: A randomized trial
    (2022-12-01) KARAKOÇ, AYŞE; Tavlar M., KARAKOÇ A.
    Aim This study aimed to compare the effects of breastfeeding, breast milk odour and mother\"s heartbeat sounds on perceived pain during heel lance procedures in term newborns. Design This was a randomized three-group experimental study. Methods The sample of the study consisted of 90 newborns. The data were collected using pulse oximeter, fetal hand doppler, voice recorder, loudspeaker, a data collection form and the ALPS-Neo Pain and Stress Assessment Scale for Newborn Infants. Results During the procedure, newborns in the breast milk odour group had high levels of pain and stress, those in the mother\"s heartbeat sounds group had mild pain and stress, and those in the breastfeeding group had no pain and stress. Additionally, a statistically significant difference was found between their crying times. This difference was the highest for newborns in the breast milk odour group, followed by the mother\"s heartbeat sounds and breastfeeding groups, respectively. Conclusion Breastfeeding and mother\"s heartbeat sounds, which are non-pharmacological pain relief methods, are effective in neonatal pain management. However, breast milk odour is not effective for pain control in newborns. Further studies should examine the efficacy combinations of these methods.
