Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form

  The scale is 5-point Likert type. The items of the scale are scored as 1= "I am never sure" and 5 = "I am always sure". All items of the scale are positive. The lowest score is 14 and the highest score is 70. An increase in scale scores indicates an increase in breastfeeding self-efficacy.

  On the first day of the baby's admission to the NICU (pretest), at discharge, 15 days after discharge, one month after discharge

• Breastfeeding Motivation Scale

  The scale has a 4-point Likert-type scale scoring system. Each item is scored between 1="Strongly Disagree" and 4="Strongly Agree". The score of the sub-dimensions is calculated by averaging the scale sub-dimension scores \[136\]. As the score obtained from the sub-dimension of the scale increases, the motivation representing the sub-dimension also increases.

  On the first day of the baby's admission to the NICU (pretest), at discharge, 15 days after discharge, one month after discharge

Model Details: Participants will be assigned to experimental and control groups using block randomization method. Randomization of mothers will be done according to maternal age and number of births. Maternal age (19-25 years and 26 years and older) and number of births (primiparous and multiparous) variables will be used for block randomization. In order to reach the sample size calculated in the study, strata will be repeated six times (2X2X6) and 24 mothers will be included in each group.
