THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HYPNOBREASTFEEDING ON SELF-EFFICACY IN BREASTFEEDING MOTHERS

Abstract

The optimum diet for a baby's growth and development is nursing exclusively. Infants are exclusively breastfed from birth until they are six months old, during which time they are only given medicine, vitamins, and minerals. Breastfeeding mothers' motivation to breastfeed can be boosted by their sense of self-efficacy. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of hypnobreastfeeding on self-efficacy in breastfeeding mothers at the Cahaya Bunda Independent Midwifery Practice in Pekanbaru.  This research is a quasi-experimental study using a single control group with a two-group pre-test and post-test design method. The results of the Independent T-test, it was shown that the average self-efficacy score before hypnobreathing in the intervention group was 40.06, while in the control group it was 42.31. The statistical results for the pre-hypnobreathing group showed a P-value of 0.351 > 0.05, so it can be concluded that there was no difference between the intervention and control groups before hypnobreathing was performed. Meanwhile, after hypnobreathing was performed, the average score in the intervention group was 48.93 and in the control group it was 41.50. The statistical results for the post-hypnobreathing group showed a P-value of 0.007 < 0.05, so it can be concluded that there was a difference between the intervention and control groups after hypnobreathing was performed
