This counseling was applied twice, the first between 36 and 38 weeks of gestation and the second between 20 and 40 days after delivery. Counseling was not provided to the pregnant women and their spouses in the control group.

Since the dropout rate in the reference study was 20%, in accordance with this rate, it was planned to carry out the study with a total of 120 couples by adding a total of 18 couples, 9 couples to each group.Random Allocation Software program was used for the randomization of the groups. Evaluation of Data: Research data will be evaluated in computer environment with appropriate statistical methods. IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0 program was used for statistical analysis and calculations. Statistical significance level was accepted as p<0.05. The conformity of the numerical variables to the normal distribution was evaluated with the Shapiro-Wilk test. The difference between the two independent groups was assessed t test and the Mann-Whitney U test . The relationship between two independent categorical variables was assessed via chi-square analysis Data Collection Tools: 1.İndividual İnformation Form/ Mother, 2. Prental Attachment İnventory, 3.
