Read the detailed description

Breast milk is a newborn-specific food that varies according to the baby's needs, body weight and the density that the baby can digest. Breastfeeding, on the other hand, is the most natural action that allows mother's milk to meet with the newborn. In addition to providing benefits for the growth and development of the baby, it contributes significantly to the maintenance of general health in advanced ages, the improvement of health and the reduction of the effect of risk factors affecting health. The concept of breastfeeding self-efficacy is the mother's perception of breastfeeding. Self-efficacy perception about breastfeeding determines the behavior of mothers to continue breastfeeding, whether they can cope with breastfeeding problems, their thoughts and attitudes about breastfeeding. Mother's age, education level, baby's weight and mother's number of births are concepts that can affect breastfeeding self-efficacy perception. Although there are many studies on breastfeeding in the literature, a limited number of studies have been found that determine the effect of the early results of postpartum breastfeeding education on breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding success.

This study aims to determine the effect of postpartum breastfeeding education given to women who had normal vaginal and cesarean delivery on breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding success.

The objectives of the research;

  • To determine the effect of postpartum breastfeeding education given to women with normal vaginal delivery on breastfeeding self-efficacy.
  • To determine the effect of postpartum breastfeeding education given to women who had cesarean section on breastfeeding self-efficacy.
  • To determine the effect of postpartum breastfeeding education given to women who had normal vaginal delivery on breastfeeding success.
  • To determine the effect of postpartum breastfeeding education given to women who had cesarean section on breastfeeding success.

Study groups in NCT05666817
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
experiment groupExperimentalBreastfeeding training will be given to each mother in the room she stays in the form of lectures and after the training, the question and answer method will be used. In addition, the practices explained by the researcher (the way of holding the baby, grasping the breast and positioning the baby appropriately for the baby, determining the position suitable for breastfeeding and the process of expressing and storing breast milk) will be demonstrated using the mother demonstration method in order to evaluate whether the mother understands the breastfeeding education after the breastfeeding training. Breastfeeding training will take approximately 40-45 minutes.
Receives: Other: breastfeeding education
Control groupNo interventionNo attempt will be made to the mothers in the control group following the pre-test application, within the scope of the post-test application before discharge; Breastfeeding Knowledge Level Diagnostic Form, LATCH Scale and Postnatal Self-Efficacy Scale will be applied. In addition to the breastfeeding education given to the intervention group following the post-test application to the mothers in the control group, a guide on the importance of breast milk and breastfeeding will also be given.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Introductory Information Form

    This form; mother's age, education status, social security, economic status, number of pregnancies, gestational week, type of delivery, baby's gender, desire for pregnancy, how many times she applied to a health institution during her pregnancy, which health institution she applied to for control, the status of receiving breastfeeding training during pregnancy, If she received breastfeeding training, from whom she received it, the status of reading magazines/brochures about breastfeeding during pregnancy, and the status of wanting to receive free breastfeeding training after delivery.

    Measured: 5 minute

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Breastfeeding Knowledge Level Diagnosis Form

    This form, which was prepared by the researcher in order to measure breastfeeding efficiency; It consists of 15 questions about breastfeeding initiation time, breast milk storage conditions, breastfeeding positions, breastfeeding duration and frequency, general information about breastfeeding and breast milk. Each question has three options: yes, no and I don't know. 1 point is given for each correct answer, and 0 points are given for incorrect and I don't know. The questions in the form are mixed right and wrong. If questions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15 are marked as correct, and questions 7, 8, and 13 as incorrect, the highest total score that can be obtained from the form will be 15.

    Measured: 10 minute
