Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a web-based mindful breastfeeding program in pregnancy to increase awareness, breastfeeding adaptation and breastfeeding self-efficacy in postpartum breastfeeding. The Mindful breastfeeding program intervention will be compared to the group receiving basic breastfeeding education. The main hypothesis is that pregnant women included in the mindful breastfeeding program have higher postpartum breastfeeding awareness, breastfeeding adaptation and breastfeeding self-efficacy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a web-based mindful breastfeeding program in pregnancy to increase awareness, breastfeeding adaptation and breastfeeding self-efficacy in postpartum breastfeeding.

There will be two groups in the study:

The web-based "Mindful Breastfeeding Program" (mindfulness-based breastfeeding program) consisting of 8 sessions in total, 2 sessions per week for 4 weeks, will be applied to the pregnant women who make up the intervention group. During the research, a QR code supported website will be established in order to support the awareness practices of the participants at home. While doing mindfulness practices at home, participants will be able to benefit from the short training videos on the website or the audio recordings prepared by the researcher with his own voice.

Only one session online breastfeeding training will be given to the control group and the training brochure for this training will be delivered to the participants via whatsapp.

A total of 40 pregnant women, 20 in the intervention group and 20 in the control group, will form the sample of the study. The main hypothesis is that the postpartum breastfeeding awareness, breastfeeding adaptation and breastfeeding self-efficacy of pregnant women included in the mindful breastfeeding program is higher than the pregnant women who participated in the single-session basic breastfeeding training.

Statistical analysis of the data obtained from the research will be made using SPSS (Statistical Packet for Social Science) for Windows 25.0 program.

PARALLEL

Random sampling method will be used in the research. Randomization Pregnant women will be evaluated in terms of their eligibility for the study, a list of pregnant women included in the study will be created and divided into two groups. The assignment of pregnant women to the intervention and control groups in the study will be realized by assigning a number to each of the participants, forming a number group for the intervention group, and planning the numbers outside of this group as the control group.
