Aim: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of physical activity level on breastfeeding attitude in the postpartum period.
Method: The study is a cross-sectional descriptive type study. Of the breastfeeding mothers who presented to the pediatric outpatient clinic of Suşehri State Hospital between September 2019 and January 2020; 100 mothers who accepted to participate in the study were included in the study. The study data were collected by using the Personal Information Form, International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and Breastfeeding Attitude Assessment Scale. To analyze the study data, the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 23.0 was used. P-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results: Of the mothers participating in the study, 57% did not do any physical activity before and during pregnancy, and 64% did not do any physical activity in the postpartum period. The mean score they obtained from the International Physical Activity Questionnaire was 470.09±316.64. Their activity levels were low in the postpartum period. The mean score they obtained from the Breastfeeding Attitude Assessment Scale was 108.91±13.58, which was above the medium level. There was a moderately significant positive correlation between the mean scores the mothers obtained from the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and Breastfeeding Attitude Assessment Scale (t=4.155; p<0.001).
Conclusion: The participating mothers’ breastfeeding attitudes improved as their physical activity levels increased. Accordingly, it is recommended that trainings on the benefits of physical activity and breastfeeding should be planned for mothers.

Amaç: Bu çalışma doğum sonu dönemde fiziksel aktivite düzeyinin emzirme tutumuna etkisini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Yöntem: Kesitsel tanımlayıcı tipte olan araştırma Eylül 2019-Ocak 2020 tarihleri arasında Suşehri Devlet Hastanesi çocuk polikliniğine başvuran emziren anneler arasından araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 100 anne ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma verileri Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi ve Emzirme Tutumunu Değerlendirme Ölçeği kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Araştırma verilerinin değerlendirilmesinde SPSS 23.0 kullanılmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde p<0.05 değeri anlamlı kabul edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Araştırmada annelerin %57’sinin gebelik öncesi ve gebelik döneminde, %64’ünün ise doğum sonu dönemde fiziksel aktivite yapmadığı belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada; annelerin Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi’nden 470.09±316.64 puan aldıkları, doğum sonrası dönemde aktivite düzeylerinin düşük seviyede olduğu ve Emzirme Tutumunu Değerlendirme Ölçeği’nden 108.91±13.58 puan aldıkları, doğum sonrası emzirme tutumlarının orta puanın üzerinde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada annelerin Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi puanları ile Emzirme Tutumunu Değerlendirme Ölçeği puanları arasında pozitif yönde orta düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişkinin olduğu belirlenmiştir (t=4.155; p<0.001).
Sonuçlar: Annelerin fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinin artması ile emzirme tutumlarının da arttığı belirlenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, annelere fiziksel aktivite ve emzirmenin yararları hakkında eğitimlerin planlanması önerilmektedir.
