Prevalences of anxiety in the postpartum period reach to 15-40% in some countries. This was qualitative research which was explained the effect of the combination of back massage and self-talk therapies on anxiety and breastfeeding self-efficacy which these therapies are psychology therapy and physically combined. The result showed that the combination of back massage and self-talk reduced their anxiety and increased their belief to breastfeed rather than given back massage only in the control group because back massage therapy recovers their bodies and self-talk using cards as a media therapy recovers their psychology given their mind power to enjoy their postpartum period.
