What this Trial Is About
The postnatal period after a caesarean section involves rapid physical and emotional changes that can cause significant stress for new mothers. This study evaluates how mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and neurolinguistic programming (NLP) might affect fatigue, sleep quality, breastfeeding, and postpartum depression in mothers during this critical period. Researchers aim to fill the gap in knowledge about these programs' long-term impacts on postpartum symptoms and breastfeeding support. Participants are assigned randomly to one of three groups: an MBSR group practicing mindfulness exercises online for 20 minutes once a week over 8 weeks, an NLP group receiving neurolinguistic programming sessions on the same schedule, or a control group that receives no interventions but is monitored weekly online. These behavioral programs are designed to help mothers actively manage stress and improve wellbeing. During the 8-week study, mothers will complete assessments before starting, at week 4, and at week 8. These include scales measuring fatigue, sleep quality, breastfeeding effectiveness, and postpartum depression symptoms. The study tracks changes over time to understand the programs' effects. Mothers are closely monitored through online follow-ups to ensure adherence and safety throughout the period.
