Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effect of marital adjustment on mother-baby bonding and breastfeeding self-efficacy. This cross-sectional study is conducted on 510 postpartum women, who delivered a baby in a public hospital in the eastern region of Turkey, between January and June 2019. Data were collected using Personal Information Form, Marital Adjustment Scale (MAS), Mother-Infant Bonding Scale (MIBS) and Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form (BSES). Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and t test and Pearson correlation analysis were used in independent groups. The mean age was 29.2 ± 6.67 and it was found that 78.8% of the postpartum women had a desired / planned pregnancy, 48.4% breastfed their baby within the first half hour after birth, and 70.2% gave only breast milk within the first 24 hours after birth. The mean MAS score was 44.29 ± 8.06; the mean MIBS score was 22.97 ± 2.58; and the mean BSES score was 59.02 ± 9.84. It was found that postpartum women with an adjusted marriage relationship (59%) had a statistically higher level of mother-infant bonding and breastfeeding self-efficacy compared to postpartum women with non-adjusted marital relationships (p
