Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study samples were included 152 study and 152 control group which individuals selected by simple random sampling.In the power analysis performed at a confidence interval of 95% and a margin of error of plus/minus 5%, sample size was calculated as a total of 304 mothers with 152 in the study group and 152 in the control group.
The researchers collected the data for the study. They administered the pretest and filled out the personal information form prior to the planned individual education. The mothers were asked to remember the pseudonyms they used on the pretest and to use the same pseudonym on the posttest. Following the pretest, the mothers in the study group were taken into a separate room at the FHC and asked to breastfeed their infants. The mothers' breastfeeding behaviors were observed. After the breastfeeding, each mother was provided an average 30-minute session of individual education. All of the mothers in the study group received the education from the same researcher. Both audio and visual materials were used in the mothers' training. The researchers educated the mothers on breastfeeding techniques in an effort to encourage them to develop the skill of correctly using the positions taught and then the mothers were asked to practice what they had learned. The researcher took care to be positive and support whenever the mother attempted the right move in breastfeeding while also providing encouraging feedback when something went wrong. Included in the content of the education were the topics of the formation of breast milk and its benefits, the duration of breastfeeding, the sufficiency of breast milk, factors that reduced and increased it, things to look out for before breastfeeding, taking the right position for breastfeeding and positioning the baby on the breast, the steps in breastfeeding, burping the baby afterwards, milking and storing the mother's milk, and other issues that could pose problems during breastfeeding (Turkish Ministry of Health Basic Health Services General Directorate 2008). To test the retention of what was learned in the training, a posttest was administered to the groups one month following the education.
The Personal Information Form and the Breastfeeding Behaviors and Traditional Practices Assessment Form were used as data collection tools.
Statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) Statistics 22 software. Descriptive statistics (means, standard deviation, frequencies and percentages) were used in the analysis of the findings. Normality tests (Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test) were performed on all continuous variables.
