Brief Summary

Breastfeeding education based on the theory of psychosexual development is important as it addresses the social and psychological significance of childhood and the impact of early childhood experiences on later social anxieties and psychosexual well-being. However, no theory-based breastfeeding education given to the mothers was found in the literature. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate the effect of breastfeeding education on infant feeding attitudes and knowledge of primiparous mothers, in line with the theory of psychosocial development.

Conditions

Breastfeeding; Psychosocial Development; Nursing Caries

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• IOWA Infant Feeding Attitude Scale

  The scale was developed by De La Mora et al. in 1999 to assess the attitudes of women towards breastfeeding and to predict the choice of infant feeding method as well as the duration of breastfeeding. The total attitude score ranges from 17 (indicating a positive attitude towards bottle feeding) to 85 (reflecting a positive attitude towards breastfeeding).

  1 WEEK

• Breastfeeding Form

  This form was created by the researchers to evaluate the mothers' experiences of breastfeeding and using formula for one week after birth. The form includes four questions about breastfeeding frequency \& duration and formula use \& frequency from day to day.

Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention (education) group: In addition to the standard discharge education, mothers in this group received breastfeeding education.

Other: Education

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Control group: In this group, first of all, mothers were informed about the study within the first day after birth, and informed consent forms were signed by those who voluntarily agreed to participate. In addition, "Personal Information Form", "IOWA Infant Feeding Attitude Scale" and "Psychosexual Theory and Breastfeeding Information Scale" were applied to these mothers on the first day. Then, as the routine care of the institution, the standard discharge education program on the third day was applied by the institution nurse. After this education, "IOWA Infant Feeding Attitude Scale" and "Psychosexual Theory and Breastfeeding Knowledge Form" were re-administered to mothers as a post-test. No additional intervention was applied other than standard care education. During the 5 days following discharge, mothers were interviewed by phone and "Breastfeeding Form'' applied.

Interventions

Education OTHER

The education program emphasized the characteristics of the oral stage, positive traits that can be acquired when the baby's needs are met during this stage, negative traits that may develop in the baby when their needs are not met, and the relationship between the oral stage and breastfeeding.

Model Details: Patients who met the sample selection criteria were randomly divided into two groups, an intervention (education) group and a CG, using a computer-based program (www.random.org). The assignment to the intervention and CG was performed by an independent statistician. Thus, by implementing randomized allocation and concealing the randomization, selection bias was controlled. In the study, participant blinding was carried out, but researcher blinding was not possible due to the researcher's awareness of the intervention being administered. In a 1:1 ratio, the women were separated into intervention and CGs (Figure 1).
