study consisted of 242 pregnant women who applied to the Obstetrics and
Gynecology Clinic of a public hospital. Personal information form,
Breastfeeding Attitudes of  The
Evaluation Scale (BAES) and The Multidimensional Body- Self Relations
Questionnaire (MBSRQ) were administered by face-to-face interview method at the
first visit. At the end of the sixth month, mothers were contacted by telephone
and the Breastfeeding Process Evaluation Form was applied (n = 113). In the
analysis of the data, descriptive statistical methods, Kruskal Wallis test and
Spearman correlation analysis were used. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;"> <b> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:150%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">Reults </span> </b> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:150%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">: It was determined that 61.2% of pregnants were in
the age range of 18-25 years, 31.4% of them were high school graduates, 85.1%
were not working and 66.1% had a moderate level of income. The mean of the mean
scores of the pregnant women were 209.02 ± 19.80; The average score of BAES is
107.95 ± 12.74. There was a significant positive correlation between the mean
scores of MBSRQ scale and BAES scores (p <0.000, r = 0.249). During the
postnatal period, 77% of the mothers nursed their babies, 54.1% of the mothers
suckled for 5-6 months, 49.4% of them fed their babies for 6 months only with
breast milk and 50.6% mixed. It was determined that there was no significant
difference between the nutritional status of the breastfeeding status, duration
of breastfeeding and the baby during 6 months of postpartum period and MBSRQ
points average (p> 0.05). </span> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;"> <b> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:150%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">Conclusion: </span> </b> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:150%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;"> Women with a positive body image in pregnancy were
found to have higher breastfeeding attitudes. It was determined that the body
image in the pregnancy did not affect the postnatal breastfeeding process. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Zeynep Kamil Kadın ve Çocuk Hastalıkları EAH}
