Abstract
Background: Positive sensory and movement experiences that the infant is exposed to in a safe and familiar environment help them cope with future stressors and support physiological regulation.
Aim: To evaluate the effect of mother-infant yoga on sleep, maternal-infant bonding, and breastfeeding self-efficacy.
Method: A randomized-controlled trial was conducted with 124 mother-infant pairs between March 2023 and January 2024. The intervention group practiced mother-infant yoga for 4 weeks, while the control group received routine care.
Results: After the intervention, the breastfeeding self-efficacy score was significantly higher in the yoga group (58.34 ± 6.27) than in the control group (46.32 ± 6.41; P < .001). Maternal-infant bonding scores were also significantly higher in the yoga group (20.44 ± 1.89 vs 18.36 ± 2.06; P = .009). Night sleep duration was significantly longer in the yoga group (8.35 ± 1.00 hours) compared to the control group (7.01 ± 1.32 hours; P < .001).
Conclusion: Mother-infant yoga significantly improved breastfeeding self-efficacy, maternal-infant bonding, and infant sleep duration. Further studies are warranted to explore its long-term effects and broader applicability.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Perinatal and Neonatal Nursing (JPNN) strives to advance the practice of evidence-based perinatal and neonatal nursing through peer-reviewed articles in a topic-oriented format.

The perinatal focus of JPNN centers around labor and delivery and intrapartum services specifically and overall perinatal services broadly. The neonatal focus emphasizes neonatal intensive care and includes the spectrum of neonatal and infant care outcomes. Featured articles for JPNN include evidence-based reviews, innovative clinical programs and projects, clinical updates and education and research-related articles appropriate for registered and advanced practice nurses.
The primary objective of The Journal of Perinatal & Neonatal Nursing is to provide practicing nurses with useful information on perinatal and neonatal nursing. Each issue is PEER REVIEWED and will feature one topic, to be covered in depth. JPNN is a refereed journal. All manuscripts submitted for publication are peer reviewed by a minimum of three members of the editorial board.
