Objective:
This study aimed to examine the relationship between postpartum women's perceptions of traumatic birth and their infant feeding intentions and breastfeeding attitudes.
Method:
This descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 385 postpartum women in the postpartum ward of a state hospital in Konya, Türkiye, between February 1 and August 30, 2025. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, City Birth Trauma Scale, Infant Feeding Intention Scale, and Breastfeeding Attitudes Evaluation Scale. Independent-samples t tests, one-way analyses of variance, Pearson correlations, and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data.
Results:
It was found that there was no relationship between City Birth Trauma Scale total and Infant Feeding Intention Scale total scores (r = -.064, p = .212), but there was a significant negative relationship between City Birth Trauma Scale total and subdimension scores and Breastfeeding Attitudes Evaluation Scale (r = -.255, p < .001). Additionally, a positive and significant correlation was found between the Infant Feeding Intention Scale and Breastfeeding Attitudes Evaluation Scale (r = .199, p < .01). These findings suggest that postpartum women's perception of traumatic birth is associated with their breastfeeding attitudes.
Conclusions:
The findings indicate that higher levels of perceived traumatic birth are associated with more negative breastfeeding attitudes among postpartum women. Developing care models aimed at preventing traumatic birth perceptions may contribute to improving breastfeeding attitudes. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).
