The questionnaire form, the LATCH Breastfeeding Identification and Assessment Scale, the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Maternal Attachment Inventory were used to collect data in the study. The Kruskall Wallis Analysis Mann, Whitney-U Analysis, Spearman Correlation and Kurtosis and skewness coefficients, Internal consistency Cronbach α coefficient were used in data analysis. Results: The women who participated in the study had an average score of 9.87±0.42 in the LATCH Breastfeeding Identification and Assessment Scale, 63.51±10.71 in the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale and 101.58±2.28 in the Maternal Attachment Inventory. The difference between the average Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scores according to the level of education and time when breastfeeding started was statistically significant (p<0.05). The statistical relationship between the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Score and Maternal Attachment Inventory Score was positive and significant at a low level (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was found that breastfeeding self-efficacy levels were affected by the mother’s age and the time when breastfeeding started, and that maternal attachment levels were affected by the mother’s age. Young mothers had lower attachment levels. It was observed that as breastfeeding self-efficacy score increased, maternal attachment score increased. Based on the study results, mothers with a high success rate in breastfeeding also had high breastfeeding self-efficacy and maternal bonding levels.

Veriler, SPSS for Windows 17 paket programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde Kruskall Wallis ve Mann Whitney U testi, Spearman Korelasyon testi ,Kurtosis ve skewness katsayıları, İç tutarlılık Cronbach α katsayısı kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan kadınlar LATCH emzirme tanılama ve değerlendirme ölçeğinden ortalama 9.87±0.42, emzirme öz yeterlilik ölçeğinden 63.51±10.71 ve maternal bağlanma ölçeğinden 101.58±2.28 puan almışlardır. Eğitim düzeyi ve emzirme zamanına göre emzirme öz yeterlilik puan ortalamaları arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Emzirme öz yeterlilik puanı ile maternal bağlanma puanı arasında istatistiksel olarak pozitif yönlü, düşük düzeyli anlamlı ilişki vardır (p<0.05). Sonuç: Emzirme öz-yeterlilik düzeylerinin annenin yaşı ve emzirme zamanından etkilendiği, maternal bağlanma düzeyinin de annenin yaşından etkilendiği belirlenmiştir. Emzirme öz yeterlilik puanı arttıkça maternal bağlanma puanı da artmaktadır.
