ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, 0-6 aylık bebeği olan primipar annelerin emzirme motivasyonu ve emzirme mitleri arasındaki ilişkiyi ve emzirme motivasyonunu etkileyen faktörleri belirlemektir.
Sonuçlar: Annelerin toplam PBMS puanları ile aile tipi, eğitim düzeyi, sigara içme durumu, gebelik sayısı, doğum şekli, emzirme eğitimi alma, eş desteği alma, emzirmede eş desteği alma ve emzirmede sosyal destek alma arasında; toplam BMS puanları ile yaş, eğitim düzeyi, gelir durumu, gebelik sayısı, emzirme eğitimi alma ve emzirmede sosyal destek alma arasında farklar vardı (p<.05). Ek olarak, toplam PBMS ve BMS puanları arasında düşük düzeyde, negatif anlamlı bir korelasyon bulundu (r=-0.127, p<.05). Ayrıca, aile tipinin (B=15.663, t=6.676, p<.05), sigara içmenin (B=7.296, t=4.202, p<.05), emzirme eğitimi almanın (B=-7.648, t=-4.328, p<.05) ve emzirmeye yönelik sosyal destek almanın (B=-4.308, t=2.066, p<.05) primipar annelerin emzirme motivasyon düzeylerini anlamlı şekilde yordadığı bulundu.
Sonuçlar: Araştırma sonuçları, sosyo-demografik, obstetrik ve bazı faktörlerin emzirme motivasyonunu ve emzirme mitlerinin düzeyini etkilediğini göstermektedir. Ayrıca, emzirme mitleri ile motivasyonlar arasında negatif, düşük düzeyde bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Bu durum, emzirme mitleri yüksek olan bireylerin motivasyon düzeylerinin düşük olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between breastfeeding motivation and breastfeeding myths, and the factors influencing breastfeeding motivation in primiparous mothers with infants aged 0-6 months.
Methods: This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. Data were collected in pediatric outpatient clinics in a private hospital in the south of Turkey between August and December 2024. 252 mothers who volunteered for the study were included.
Results: There were differences between the total PBMS scores of the mothers and family type, education level, smoking status, number of pregnancies, delivery type, receiving breastfeeding education, receiving spousal support, receiving spousal support in breastfeeding and receiving social support in breastfeeding; and there were differences between the total BMS scores and age, education level, income status, number of pregnancies, receiving breastfeeding education and receiving social support in breastfeeding (p<.05). In addition, a low-level, negatively significant correlation was found between the total PBMS and BMS scores (r=-0.127, p<.05). Moreover, it was found that family type (B=15.663, t=6.676, p<.05), smoking (B=7.296, t=4.202, p<.05), receiving breastfeeding education (B=-7.648, t=-4.328, p<.05) and receiving social support for breastfeeding (B=-4.308, t=2.066, p<.05) significantly predicted the breastfeeding motivation levels of primiparous mothers.
Conclusions: The research results show that socio-demographic, obstetric and some factors affect breastfeeding motivation and the level of breastfeeding myths. Moreover, a negative, low-level relationship was found between breastfeeding myths and motivations. This situation reveals that individuals with higher breastfeeding myths have lower motivation levels.
