Abstract

Although training and consultancy programs to improve breastfeeding results in the world and
in our country are very intensive, breastfeeding rates are not at the targeted levels. However,
when we evaluate the content of breastfeeding trainings, it is generally in the form of anatomy
and physiology of the breast, evaluation of milk amounts, routines, breastfeeding positions,
problems experienced in breastfeeding processes and their solutions. However, breastfeeding
is an action that has been going on since human existence and is carried out instinctively. In
this direction, it is inevitable that individual training and counseling processes will be needed
to increase awareness of her instincts in order to reduce the effect of confusion stated regarding
breastfeeding and to enable the woman to experience the natural breastfeeding process.
It is thought that the hypnobreastfeeding philosophy will be useful in gaining this awareness.
Developed by focusing on the nature of breastfeeding and based on the philosophy of hypno
birth ing/h ypnof ertil ity, emotion-oriented approaches, compassion with mindfulness practices
and motivational interview methods, hypnobreastfeeding is a philosophy rather than a method.
This article aims to explain the integration of hypnobreastfeeding philosophy into breastfeeding
training and counseling.

Hipnoemzirme Felsefesinin Emzirme Eğitim ve Danışmanlığına Entegrasyonu

Abstract

Dünya’da ve ülkemizde emzirme sonuçlarını iyileştirmeye yönelik eğitim ve danışmanlık programları
çok yoğun olarak sürdürülmesine rağmen emzirme oranları hedeflenen düzeylerde değildir.
Fakat emzirme eğitimlerin içeriğini değerlendirdiğimizde genelde memenin anatomisi ve fizyolojisi,
süt miktarları değerlendirme, rutinler, emzirme pozisyonları, emzirme süreçlerinde yaşanılan
problemler ve çözümleri şeklindedir. Oysa emzirme insanın varoluşundan itibaren devam eden ve
içgüdüsel olarak yürütülen bir eylemdir. Bu doğrultuda, emzirmeye yönelik belirtilen karmaşanın
etkisini azaltabilmek ve kadının doğal emzirme sürecini deneyimlemesini sağlamak için içgüdüleri
konusunda farkındalığın arttırılacağı kadına özgü eğitim ve danışmanlık süreçlerine gereksinim
olduğu kaçınılmazdır. Bu farkındalığı kazanmakta da hipnoemzirme felefesinin yararlı olacağı
düşünülmektedir. Emzirmenin doğasına odaklanılarak ve hypno birth ing/h ypnof ertil ity felsefesi,
duygu odaklı yaklaşımlar, farkındalıkla şefkat uygulamaları ve motivasyonel görüşme yöntemlerine
temellendirilerek geliştirilen hipnoemzirme, bir yöntemden ziyade bir felsefedir. Hipnoemzirme
eğitim ve danışmanlıklarında amaç kadının bilgileri sindirmesi değil, kendini keşfetmesidir. Bu
makalede, hipnoemzirme felsefesinin emzirme eğitim ve danışmanlıklarına entegrasyonun açıklanması
amaçlamaktadır.
