Read the detailed description
Breastfeeding is the safest and healthiest method of feeding an infant and positively affects the health of both the mother and the baby in the short and long term. Breast milk not only meets the nutritional needs of the newborn, but also protects it from many diseases, makes a great contribution to its mental and physical development, and most importantly, it provides a unique bond between mother and baby.
According to TDHS 2018 data, the rate of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months is 41%, and this rate decreases with age. The rate of breastfeeding for 0-1-month-old children is 59%, 2-3-month-olds 45%, and 4-5-month-olds 14%.
One of the most important factors affecting breastfeeding is the mother's perception of self-efficacy. Breastfeeding self-efficacy refers to the mother's perceived ability and self-confidence to breastfeed her baby. Perception of breastfeeding self-efficacy; It determines whether the mother will breastfeed or not, how much effort she will put into it, her thoughts on breastfeeding, and her ability to cope with the difficulties she will face during the breastfeeding process emotionally.
Considering the existence of real or potential problems with breastfeeding, breastfeeding counseling is required for every expectant mother. This counseling will ensure that expectant mothers will be prepared for all kinds of breastfeeding problems that they may experience in the postpartum period. Studies have reported that web-based support programs increase the quality of life in individuals, are useful in symptom management, and are effective in raising awareness on the subjects intended to provide support and in gaining positive attitudes and behaviors.
For successful initiation, maintenance and termination of breastfeeding, mothers should be provided with a balanced diet during pregnancy, necessary breast care, physical and mental health, and training on breastfeeding.
Today, web-based support programs created thanks to advances in science and technology; It has advantages such as being cheap, easily accessible, not causing any harm when done under control, providing flexibility in the participant's use of time, and accessing the training content whenever needed. Due to the pandemic process the investigators are in and with the effect of developing technology, trainings are provided for the needs of individuals by using many alternative education methods such as web-based education and distance education in the field of health, as in many areas. Studies have reported that web-based support programs increase the quality of life in individuals, are useful in symptom management, and are effective in raising awareness on the subjects intended to provide support and in gaining positive attitudes and behaviors.
Studies on this subject are generally studies that briefly mention breastfeeding under the title of baby care and are not long enough. For this reason, the investigators aim to provide maximum benefit by giving this training to expectant mothers who have never given birth before, that is, who will breastfeed their baby for the first time, by addressing the issue of breastfeeding only.
The study is planned to be carried out between 01.01.2023 and 31.07.2024 in the Family Health Centers affiliated to the Taşköprü District Health Directorate of Kastamonu. The universe of the study consists of 24-36 weeks pregnant women who come to the Family Health Centers of the Taşköprü District Health Directorate. The sample of the study consisted of 90 primiparous pregnant women, 45 of whom were in the control and 45 in the experimental group, who met the inclusion criteria.
The data of the study will be applied to both groups at the same time. No training will be given to the control group, and web-based breastfeeding training consisting of 4 modules will be given to the experimental group during their pregnancy. As data collection tools; Pregnant data collection form, Postpartum information form, IOWA infant feeding attitude scale, IMDAT scale, Edinburgh depression scale, Breastfeeding motivation scale, Insufficient milk perception scale, Breastfeeding self-efficacy scale and System usability scale will be used. Data collection tools will be applied to women at pregnancy, postpartum 7th day, PP 3rd month and PP 6th month.
Appropriate methods will be used in the evaluation of the data. The significance level will be determined as α=0.05.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of postpartum women
In the study, R v3.6.1 program was used for Power analysis, alpha error was 5%, beta error was 20%, it was predicted that between the variables as a result of the study process, and a minimum of 90 (45 case groups, 50 control group)
Measured: 6 month
Secondary outcomes (4)
Evaluation of Infant Feeding Attitude
The Infant Feeding Attitude Scale is used. It includes 17 items with a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Eight statements indicate positive attitude toward breastfeeding and nine statements indicate positive attitude toward formula feeding. The statements indicating positive attitude to breastfeeding were reverse-scored before calculating the total scores of all items. An example for attitude is: "Formula-feeding is more convenient than breastfeeding", and "Breastfeeding increases mother-infant bonding". The total IIFAS score can range from 17 to 85 with higher scores reflecting more positive attitude towards breastfeeding. The total IIFAS is further classified as positive to breastfeeding (a score of 70-85), neutral (a score of 49-69) and positive to formula feeding
Measured: Antenatal and postpartum 6th month
Evaluation of Depression Level
Edinburgh Postnatal/Postpartum Depression Scale is a self-assessment scale developed to determine the risk of depression in the postpartum period and to measure the level and severity of depression. The scale consists of 10 questions in total. Each question provides a four-point Likert-type measurement. Items in questions 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the scale are scored as 3, 2, 1, 0 and indicate gradually decreasing severity. The items in questions 1, 2 and 4 are scored as 0, 1, 2, 3, indicating increasing severity. The total score of the scale is obtained by summing these items. The minimum total score is 0 and the maximum score is 30. The cut-off score of the scale has been reported as 12/13.
Measured: Postpartum 7th day, 3rd month, and 6th month
Evaluation of Perception of Insufficient Milk
Perception of Insufficient Milk questionnaire is used. The questionnaire consisted of five sections: urine amount, breast condition, stool amount, weight and satisfaction. The characteristics of each section were evaluated on a scale of 0,1,2 points, and a full score of 10 was considered as the best breast milk intake and 7 and below as inadequate breast milk intake.
Measured: Postpartum 7th day, 3rd month, and 6th month
Evaluation of Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy
The Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Short Form is a 5-point Likert-type scale (1= "I am never sure" and 5 = "I am always sure"). The minimum score is 14 and the maximum score is 70. A higher score indicates higher breastfeeding self-efficacy.
Measured: Postpartum 7th day, 3rd month, and 6th month
