Abstrakt: It is important to implement supportive programs to ensure mothers breast feed for the desired period, and infants are fed by only mother's milk. In the research, it was aimed at evaluating the effects of lactation management model on mothers' breastfeeding process following a caesarean section. Women who gave birth by planned cesarean delivery were divided into two groups, randomized control and experimental. Data collection was performed during gestation, first day after postpartum, pre-discharge, on the 9th day in a face to face interview, and in the form of monthly phone interviews up to 6 months. While the experimental group exercised the lactation management model, the control group received routine lactation practices in clinic. In the scores of Breastfeeding Charting System and Documentation Tool, a significant difference was found between the groups (p<0.001). 87.9% of the experimental group and 48.5% of the control group were determined to apply successful breast-feeding techniques. In addition, it was found that all of the experimental group breast fed 1 month longer than the control group, and for the first month, 90.9% of the experimental group and 78.8% of the control group breast fed with mother's milk only and a higher breastfeeding. Among in the experimental group, it was found that breastfeeding self-efficacy was higher, and breastfeeding techniques were accurate and successful and breastfeeding only and continuity rates were higher while breastfeeding related breast problems developed less frequently.
