View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of listening to a pre-recorded, standardized maternal heartbeat sound on perceived stress levels and breastfeeding self-efficacy in mothers experiencing early breastfeeding difficulties. The study will be conducted in the postpartum service of a tertiary hospital. The results are expected to contribute to easily applicable, non-invasive, and supportive care approaches for breastfeeding support.

Standardized Maternal Heartbeat Sound Application

A pre-recorded, standardized maternal heartbeat sound will be played to the infant via an environmental speaker for 7 days, starting after the 24th postpartum hour, twice a day for approximately 10 minutes per session. The sound level will be kept in the safe range of 40-60 dB. The application is non-invasive, non-pharmacological, and contains no medical procedure beyond routine care.
