When the sample of the study was calculated as 95 %confidence interval, 5 %error and 80 %power, a total of 44 cases, 22 for the experimental group and 22 for the control group were found to be suitable for statistical analyzes. In this study, assuming that the loss rates in the literature will be 20 %loss when reference, 28 to the experimental group and 28 to the control group will be included in the initially 56 pregnant studies. The data will be collected using the 'Personal Information Form, Postpartum Period Features Information Form, Maternal Binding Scale and Barkin Maternity Function Inventory.
