Brief Summary

This study is a randomized controlled experimental study conducted to determine the effect of applied breastfeeding training given through Lactation Simulation Model (LSM) in antenatal period on the success of women in breastfeeding, their self-efficacy perception regarding breastfeeding and their attitude towards and knowledge of breastfeeding.

Conditions

Breastfeeding; Education

Keywords

antenatal period; simulation based breastfeeding training

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnostic and Assessment Scale

  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. Cronbach's alpha value was found to be 0.95 in the study in which the Turkish validity and reliability of the scale was carried out.

  The scale was filled twice, with an average of two hours, in the first 24 hours after delivery, when the mother was free of pain and felt well.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Breastfeeding Attitude and Knowledge Questionnaire

  It was applied both in the antenatal period (at 32-36 weeks of pregnancy) and in the postnatal 24 hours.

• Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form

  It was applied both in the antenatal period (at 32-36 weeks of pregnancy) and in the postnatal 24 hours.

Study Arms (2)

Simulation training experiment group

EXPERIMENTAL

In this training, the researcher firstly explained breastfeeding by wearing the Lactation Simulation Model on himself and showing it practically on himself. Afterwards, the model was dressed on the pregnant woman and the pregnant woman was given one-on-one breastfeeding practice. In this process, all questions of the pregnant woman were answered by the researcher.

Other: simulation training group

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

At this stage, the standard video screening prepared for breastfeeding education within the scope of the hospital protocol was shown to the pregnant woman by the researcher with a tablet.

Interventions

simulation training group OTHER

In this study, applied breastfeeding training with Lactation Simulation Model was given to pregnant women in the intervention group (simulation training group, n=64) during antenatal period
