About this study
Official title: The Effect of Biological Nutrition Technique Which is Used in Initiation of Breastfeeding in Primiparas on Breastfeeding Success and on Self-Efficacy: A Randomized Controlled Study
Aim: This research was conducted with the purpose of determining the effect of biological nurturing technique used for starting breastfeeding in primipara on breastfeeding success and self-efficacy.
Material and Method: This randomized controlled study was conducted with 130 mothers who had a cesarean section in a public hospital located in Southeast Turkey (65 experimental, 65 control).

Aim: This research was conducted with the purpose of determining the effect of biological nurturing technique used for starting breastfeeding in primipara on breastfeeding success and self-efficacy.
Material and Method: This randomized controlled study was conducted with 130 mothers who had a cesarean section in a public hospital located in Southeast Turkey (65 experimental, 65 control). The mothers in the control group received routine hospital care. The mothers in the experimental group were taught the biological nurturing technique after the first breastfeeding and breastfeeding was provided according to the technique during the hospitalization. Pre-test data were obtained by applying LATCH and BSES-SF to the mothers in the experimental and control groups at the 1st hour after the first breastfeeding. LATCH was re-administered at the end of the 8th and 24th hour postpartum. Post-test data were obtained by administering LATCH and BSES at the end of the 48th hour postpartum.In statistical analysis; count, percentage distribution, arithmetic average, chi-square test, standard deviation, t-test in dependent and independent groups and ANOVA analysis in repeated measurements were used.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Biological Nutrition TechniqueOther
Biological nutrition technique woman trying Biological feeding technique was applied after each breastfeeding. Breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding success were assessed at regular intervals.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Experimental: experimental group | Experimental | Biological Nutrition Technique Receives: Other: Biological Nutrition Technique |
| Assigned Interventions | No intervention | standard care group |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
First Measurement:LATCH
Observation and evaluation of mothers' breastfeeding success is measured using the LATCH scale.The LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnostic and Evaluation Scale is a scale filled by the researcher through observation.
L: (Latch on the brest)) A: (Audible Swallowing) T: (Type of Nipple) C: (Comfort of Breast/ Nipple) H: (Hold/ Position)
LATCH consists of the combination of the first letters of the English equivalent of the five criteria defined above. Each item is evaluated between 0-2 points. The lowest score that can be obtained from the entire scale is 0 and the highest score is 10. The scale has no breakpoints. The low score on the scale indicates the need for active intervention, support and follow-up after discharge in breastfeeding. The higher the LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnosis and Evaluation Scale score, the higher the success of breastfeeding.
Measured: Measurement at the second encounter (first 24 hours after birth) for each group.
Second Measurement:Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Çeviri sonuçları Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale
Breastfeeding self-efficacy levels and breastfeeding self-confidence of mothers are measured with the breastfeeding self-efficacy scale. The Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (short form) consists of 14 items that measure the mother's breastfeeding self-efficacy. The maximum score that can be obtained from the scale is 70, and the minimum score is 14. High scores from the scale indicate high breastfeeding self-efficacy. The scale is 5-point Likert type; 1 = Not at all sure, 2 = Not so sure, 3 = Sometimes I'm sure, 4 = I'm sure, 5 = I'm very sure.
Measured: Measurement for each group at the third encounter (2th day after birth).
