Özet:

 ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between lactating mothers body image and breastfeeding motivation. Materials and Methods: The study was descriptive and correlational and was conducted on 374 women who were in the first 24 months postpartum between 15 January 2024 and 15 April 2024. Data were collected using a personal information form, a body perception scale and a self-determination theory-based breastfeeding motivation scale. Results: The mean total body perception score of the women was 159.8623.77. Body image scores were higher among working primiparous and multiparous mothers who had had a caesarean section, used skin-to-skin contact, and received breastfeeding education. In primiparous women, a significant positive correlation was found between the total score of the Body Perception Scale and the total scores of the sub-dimensions of the Self-Determination Theory-based Breastfeeding Motivation Scale, namely integrated regulation, intrinsic motivation and identified regulation, introjected regulation, social approval and external regulation- additional benefits. In multiparous women, integrated regulation, intrinsic motivation and identified regulation, and external regulation-infant health scores increased as body perception scores increased. Conclusion: In conclusion, it is important to understand how women of different parity react to the physical changes in the postpartum period and their attitudes towards breastfeeding in order to provide support tailored to their specific need. Keywords: Lactation, Breastfeeding Motivation, Body Perception, Postpartum Period.

 ÖZ Amaç: Araştırma, laktasyon sürecindeki annelerin beden algısının emzirme motivasyonu ile ilişkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı tarzda olup, 15 Ocak 2024  15 Nisan 2024 tarihleri arasında doğum sonrası ilk 24 ay içerisinde olan 374 kadın ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Beden Algısı Ölçeği ve Öz-Belirleme Kuramına Dayalı Emzirme Motivasyonu Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Kadınların beden algısı toplam puan ortalaması 159,8623,77 dir. Çalışan primipar annelerin ve sezaryen doğum yapan, ten tene temas uygulayan, emzirme eğitimi alan multipar annelerin beden algısı puanı daha yüksektir. Primipar kadınlarda Beden Algısı Ölçeği toplam puanı ve Öz-Belirleme Kuramına Dayalı Emzirme Motivasyonu Ölçeği alt boyutlarından bütünleşmiş düzenleme, içsel motivasyon ve özdeşleşmiş düzenleme, içe yansıtılmış düzenleme toplumsal onaylama ve dışsal düzenleme-ek yararlar toplam puanları arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Multipar kadınlarda ise beden algısı puanı arttıkça bütünleşmiş düzenleme, içsel motivasyon ve özdeşleşmiş düzenleme ve dışsal düzenleme-bebek sağlığı puanının arttığı tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, doğum sonrası dönemde farklı paritelerdeki kadınların bedensel değişikliklere nasıl tepki verdiklerini ve emzirmeye yönelik tutumlarını anlamak, kendi özel ihtiyaçlarına göre uyarlanmış destek sağlanması açısından önem taşımaktadır.
