Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Breastfeeding Attrition Prediction Tool (BAPT)

  Breastfeeding Attrition Prediction Tool (BAPT) is a scale consisting of 90 questions on a 5-point Likert-type scale based on the theory of planned behavior. There are four different sub-dimensions in the scale, which does not have a total score. These are "Negative Breastfeeding Attitude", "Positive Breastfeeding Attitude", "Social and Professional Support" and "Breastfeeding Control" and each sub-scale is scored separately. A high scale score indicates that the mother has high breastfeeding control.

  Pre-test application after routine breastfeeding education, Post-test application after the Breastfeeding Education Program Based on Planned Behavior Theory, 7-14 days postpartum, 4-6 weeks postpartum, 4th month postpartum, Postpartum 6th month

Intervention Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In addition to the routine breastfeeding training in the hospital where the study was conducted, the intervention group will be given a 2-session "Breastfeeding Education Program Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior".

Behavioral: Breastfeeding Education Program Based on Planned Behavior Theory

Control group

SHAM COMPARATOR

The control group will receive routine breastfeeding training at the hospital where the study is conducted.

Behavioral: Routine Breastfeeding Training

Interventions

Breastfeeding Education Program Based on Planned Behavior Theory BEHAVIORAL

In addition to routine breastfeeding training at the hospital where the study is conducted, the intervention group will be given a 2-session Breastfeeding Training Program Based on Planned Behavior Theory. Education Content: The importance of breast milk, the benefits of breastfeeding, the dangers of artificial feeding, putting the baby to the breast, signs of hunger in the baby, the harms of bottle and pacifier, breastfeeding positions, breast-related problems, information sources about breastfeeding, birth and breastfeeding leave for working mothers, breastfeeding in the community, the importance of environmental and professional support during breastfeeding.

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: DOUBLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT, OUTCOMES ASSESSOR
• Masking Details: In order to ensure confidentiality in the group distributions, the block randomization assignment of the intervention and control groups will be made by someone outside the research and will be received in pre-prepared opaque envelopes. A separate envelope will be prepared for each pregnant woman participating in the research and she will be asked to choose one. Pregnant women will not know which group they are in. Since the researcher will also be the implementer of the application, blinding will not be possible for the groups that the pregnant women are in. For this reason, only participant and statistician blinding will be provided in the study.
• Purpose: SUPPORTIVE CARE
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
• PI Title: MSc

Model Details: The research was planned to be conducted as a single-center, parallel group, randomized controlled experimental, prospective study in a pre-test-post-test design.
