Brief Summary

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of breastfeeding experience on breastfeeding self-efficacy and motivation in women with virtual reality simulation. The main question it aims to answer is: Is breastfeeding experience with virtual reality glasses effective in increasing breastfeeding self-efficacy and motivation? They completed the Socio-Demographic and Pregnancy Information Form and the Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale. Standard breastfeeding training was given. The application group also experienced breastfeeding with a virtual reality simulation. At the end of the application, they filled out the Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale again. They completed the postpartum Primiparous Breastfeeding Motivation Scale.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale

  The Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale was developed by Wells and colleagues in 2006. The validity and reliability study of the scale in Turkish was conducted by Aydın and Pasinlioğlu in 2018. The scale consists of 20 items and is 5-point likert type. The lowest score to be taken from the scale is 20 and the highest score is 100. An increase in the score obtained from the scale indicates an increase in the perception of breastfeeding self-efficacy. The Cronbach Alpha value of the scale is 0.85.

  The breastfeeding experience with virtual reality glasses lasted 5 minutes. The intervention was repeated a second time a week later over a 5-minute period. After two weeks of intervention, the last Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale test was applied.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Primipar Breastfeeding Motivation Scale

  The scale was completed up to two months after delivery.

Study Arms (2)

Virtual Reality

EXPERIMENTAL

Individual standard breastfeeding education was provided. After the training, they experienced the first breastfeeding simulation in a hospital environment for 5 minutes with virtual reality glasses. A week later (37. during the gestational week), they experienced the second breastfeeding simulation in a home environment for 5 minutes with virtual reality glasses. They completed the Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale (final test). Finally, 1 after giving birth. and 2. they completed the Primiparous Breastfeeding Motivation Scale between months. Opinions were obtained from pregnant women who wanted to express their opinions about the virtual reality glasses breastfeeding simulation experiences.

Other: virtual reality

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Before starting the study, pregnant women who will be included in the control group according to the inclusion criteria and randomization were informed by the researcher about the study. At the beginning of the study, the control group (36. during the week of pregnancy) pregnant women filled out the Socio-Demographic and Pregnancy Information Form, Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale (pre-test). Then, individual standard breastfeeding training was given. A week later (37. during the week of pregnancy), they completed the Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale (final test). Finally, 1 after giving birth. and 2. they completed the Primiparous Breastfeeding Motivation Scale between months.
