Özet:

 Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between birth memory and breastfeeding adaptation in primiparous women and to identify the socio-demographic and obstetric factors associated with both birth memory and breastfeeding adaptation. Methods: This descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 274 primiparous women who had vaginal deliveries at a private university hospital between March and July 2024. Data were collected at the 24th hour and on the 15th day postpartum using the Personal Information Form, the Birth Memory and Recall Scale and the Breastfeeding Adaptation Scale. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS 25.0 program, with statistical significance set at p  .05. Results: The mean age of the participants was 28.523.56 years. The total scores of the Birth Memory and Recall Scale were 87.5115.19 at the first measurement and 89.1018.16 at the second. The Breastfeeding Adaptation Scale scores were 102.8917.71 and 117.479.90, respectively. A weak negative correlation was found between the first scores of both scales, and between the first Breastfeeding score and the second Birth Memory score. The second Breastfeeding score was also weakly negatively correlated with both the first and second Birth Memory scores. Conclusion: The study demonstrates that birth memory can significantly impact breastfeeding adaptation during the postpartum period.

 Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, primipar kadınlarda doğum hafızasının emzirme adaptasyonuna etkisini incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı bir araştırma olarak planlanan çalışma, Mart-Temmuz 2024 tarihleri arasında özel bir üniversite hastanesinde vajinal doğum yapan 274 primipar kadınla yürütülmüştür. Veriler, doğum sonrası 24. saat ve 15. günde Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Doğum Hafızası ve Hatırlama Ölçeği DHHÖ ve Emzirme Adaptasyon Ölçeği EAÖ ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 25.0 programı kullanılmış, istatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi p0.05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 28.523.56 yıl, DHHÖ ön test puan ortalaması 87.5115.19, DHHÖ son test puan ortalaması 89.1018.16, EAÖ ön test puan ortalaması 102.8917.71 ve EAÖ son test puan ortalaması 117.479.90 olarak bulunmuştur. Eğitim durumu ile DHHÖ ön test, DHHÖ son test ve EAÖ ön test puanları arasında anlamlı fark tespit edilmiştir p0.05. EAÖ ön test puanları ile DHHÖ ön test puanları arasında negatif yönde zayıf bir ilişki saptanmıştır r-0.122, p0.05. EAÖ ön test puanları ile DHHÖ son test puanları arasında da negatif yönde zayıf bir ilişki bulunmuştur r-0.154, p0.01. Ayrıca, EAÖ son test puanları ile DHHÖ ön test puanları r-0.187, p0.01 ve DHHÖ son test puanları r-0.172, p0.01 arasında negatif yönde zayıf ilişkiler belirlenmiştir. Sonuç ve Öneriler: Bu çalışma, doğum hafızasının postpartum dönemde emzirme adaptasyonunu önemli ölçüde etkileyebileceğini ortaya koymuştur.
