Brief Summary

Introduction: Breastfeeding is not just a physiological event. Psychological and emotional factors affect breastfeeding. Motivation is also among these factors. For this reason, it should be considered that there will be problems with breastfeeding in the postpartum period. Since breastfeeding education can be a solution to these problems, it can increase the motivation of mothers for breastfeeding. Purpose: To examine the effect of online breastfeeding education on breastfeeding motivation. Methods: The type of the study was planned as a prospective, randomized controlled experimental study with pretest-posttest control group. The sample group of the research will be reached at Pamukkale University Obstetrics and Gynecology clinic and online via social media. The sample reached will be trained in the online environment. The research will be carried out between February 2022 and December 2022. A total of 50 people, 25 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group, will be included. Evaluation will be made with the Breastfeeding motivation scale (for primiparous mothers). Motivation scores will be compared before and after the training.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Breastfeeding Motivation Scale (For Primiparous Mothers)

    The breastfeeding motivation scale developed for primiparous women consists of 23 questions.Intrinsic motivation consists of five sub-factors: integrated regulation, identified regulation, introjected regulation, and extrinsic regulation.The scale, which is a four-point Likert type scale, is scored as 1 = I strongly disagree, 2 = I do not agree, 3 = I agree, 4 = I strongly agree. Total points are not taken from the scale. As the score obtained from the scale sub-dimension increases, the motivation representing that sub-dimension also increases.
