Clinical Trial Summary
It is aimed to determine the effect of breastfeeding support system applied in newborns on
developmental findings and discharge time.The research was planned as an experimental study
with experimental and control groups. The population of the study consisted of babies who
received care and treatment in Iğdır State Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Clinic between
February and June 2023. The sample of the study was calculated using the G*Power computer
program. In the calculation made, it was found that a total of 70 children, 35 of each for
the control and experimental groups, should be included. In this study, the experimental
group consisted of 36 children and the control group consisted of 35 children. Children
selected by simple random sampling method were divided into groups by randomization and which
group would be the experimental group and which group would be the control group were
determined by randomization. Masking was done during data collection and data analysis. The
data is in the analysis stage.
Description:
Breast milk is a natural food with high bioavailability, easy to digest, which reduces the
morbidity and mortality of the newborn, contains all the fluid, energy and nutrients
necessary for physical, spiritual and mental development.Breastfeeding has a biological and
emotional impact on mother and baby, has many immunological, psychological, social and
economic benefits for both mother and baby, and is the best method for maternal health and
healthy growth and development of infants.The bond between mother and baby after birth In the
sensitive period in which successful breastfeeding will be established by establishing a new
hospital, some babies need to be hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for
various reasons. During hospitalization, mothers cannot be with their babies during all
feedings and often have to empty their breasts with a pump. The pump does not have the same
physiological effect as breastfeeding on the milk injection response.
Due to some problems arising from the breast or the baby, the baby may have problems in
grasping and holding the breast. In such cases, a breastfeeding support system can be used.
The breastfeeding support system is based on the logic of stimulating the formation of
prolactin by the baby's sucking of the milk, assuming that it comes from the breast, with the
help of a plastic tube (usually a nasogastric tube) that is fixed to the breast on one end
and the other end inside the bottle/container containing breast milk or formula.With this
method, it is aimed to increase milk production and restart breastfeeding through active
sucking of the newborn and stimulation of the breasts.
