Brief Summary

The Effect of "Green Future with Midwife Hands" Climate Change Animation on Mothers' Climate Change Awareness and Behavior Climate change appears as one of the most important environmental problems of today. Many negative effects such as the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, global warming, sea level rise and the frequency of extreme weather events threaten both natural ecosystems and human life. In this context, it is of great importance for individuals to gain awareness about climate change and exhibit environmentally friendly behavior for a sustainable future. In particular, mothers and expectant mothers have the potential to create significant awareness and change by choosing products that do not harm the environment, while looking for the best for their babies. Reducing plastic use, choosing organic textile products, using biodegradable wet wipes and choosing toys made from natural materials both protect babies' health and support environmental sustainability. This awareness reinforces the environmentally friendly behavior of mothers and helps future generations grow up as more conscious individuals. The role of mothers in this regard is undeniably great for a sustainable future. While mothers making environmentally friendly choices increases the environmental awareness of not only their own families but also the wider masses, being careful when choosing carbon footprint baby products both protects the health of babies and reduces environmental impacts. This research aims to encourage mothers and expectant mothers to make environmentally friendly and carbon footprint-reducing choices when choosing baby products by increasing the climate change awareness of mothers and expectant mothers through the "Green Future with Midwife Hands" Climate Change Animation.

Mothers who have had a caesarean section or normal birth

EXPERIMENTAL

The animation "A Green Future with the Hands of a Midwife" will be downloaded to mothers' phones and played in a quiet and non-stimulating environment before discharge. In addition, the animation will be played again after the data collection tools are applied on the 7th, 21st and 30th day.

Behavioral: watching animation show

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: DOUBLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT, OUTCOMES ASSESSOR
• Masking Details: The statistician will be blinded in the study. The researcher will not be blinded because he/she is the implementer. However, the researcher will open the envelope created by the statistician just before the application and learn which group the mother is in. In order to prevent bias in the evaluation of the data, the groups will be coded as A and B, and the data will be analysed by an independent statistician. After the analysis and interpretation of the data is completed, the codes of the intervention and control groups will be revealed.
• Purpose: SUPPORTIVE CARE
