Mothers were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n=34) and the control group (n=34). Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the LATCH Breastfeeding assessment Scale. The experimental group listened to 30 minutes of 'Neva' makam, a mode from Turkish classical music, for 4 consecutive days, with 15 minutes before breastfeeding and 15 minutes during breastfeeding, twice a day. The control group received routine care without music.Results: There were no significant differences in the pre-test anxiety and breastfeeding success scores between the experimental and control groups (p>.05). The post-test state anxiety scores in the experimental group were significantly lower compared to the control group (p KW - Anxiety KW - breastfeeding KW - maternal KW - music KW - postpartum period N2 - Amaç: Bu çalışma müziğin postpartum dönemdeki annenin kaygı durumuna ve emzirme başarısına etkisini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma Ocak – Haziran 2023 tarihlerinde İstanbul’daki bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinin yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde yürütüldü. Deney (n=34) ve kontrol grubuna (n=34) anneler rastgele seçim yöntemiyle atandı. Veriler; Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Spielberg Durumluk Kaygı Envanteri ve LATCH Emzirme Tanılama Ölçeği kullanılarak toplandı. Deney grubuna 4 gün boyunca, günde 2 kez, emzirme öncesi 15 dakika ve emzirme esnasında 15 dakika olmak üzere toplam 30 dakika, Türk müzik makamlarından Neva Makamı dinletildi. Kontrol grubundaki anneler ise müziksiz rutin bakım aldı. Bulgular: Deney ve kontrol grupların öntest kaygı ve emzirme başarısı puanları arasında anlamlı farklılık yoktu (p>0,05). Deney grubunun son test durumluk kaygı puanları kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı olarak düşüktü (p CR - Bernatzky, G., Presch, M., Anderson, M., & Panksepp, J. (2011).
