Brief Summary

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

The most suitable food for babies is breast milk. It is known that breastfeeding, beyond providing nutrition, has many health benefits for the baby and the mother. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that babies start breastfeeding within 1 hour after birth and breastfeed exclusively without any additional food, including water, for the first 6 months. After six months, complementary foods should be started, and the baby should continue to be breastfed for two years or more. On the other hand, between 2015-2020, the rates of infants aged 0-6 months fed with breast milk alone are approximately 44% worldwide.

There are many factors that affect the time of initiation of breastfeeding and the duration of breastfeeding. Some of those; maternal education, mode of delivery, birth weight and socio-economic status. Another influential factor is paternal support. Fathers may want to be involved in breastfeeding education and support their spouses in this process. However, the reasons such as not taking part in the trainings and not being asked direct questions about breastfeeding may cause fathers to feel excluded in this process. It is important to include fathers in education and interventions to achieve breastfeeding goals. Mothers who are supported by their spouses during the breastfeeding process experience breastfeeding problems less and can cope with these problems better.

Today, it is known that fathers are not given sufficient importance in promoting breastfeeding. Including fathers in breastfeeding education can increase the rate and duration of breastfeeding of infants. This study was planned to determine the effect of breastfeeding education given to mothers and/or fathers in the postnatal period on breastfeeding, parent-infant attachment and breastfeeding self-efficacy. The aim of the study is to draw attention to the importance of father support in breastfeeding.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Before starting the research, parents will be informed about the study and written consent will be obtained from those who agree to participate in the research. There are 3 groups in the study. These; Experimental Group 1: The group in which breastfeeding training was given to mothers and fathers Experimental Group 2: The group in which breastfeeding training was given only to the mother Control Group: The group that did not receive any intervention and received routine hospital care.

Within the first 24 hours after birth, everyone participating in the research will be contacted and the relevant forms will be filled in and breastfeeding training will be given to experimental group 1 and experimental group 2 by the researcher. Then, families will be called in the 1st week, 1st month and 3rd month by phone and the relevant forms will be filled. Families' questions about breastfeeding will be answered.
Primary Study Purpose

HEALTH_SERVICES_RESEARCH

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Participants Outcome Assessors
The lottery method and blocking will be used in assigning individuals to groups. Participants will be laided according to the way of birth and then the draw will be divided into groups. For the first person to be included in the study in the lottery method; In a bag of the same size and the same quality, three separate paper on which "Control Group", "Mother Training Group", "Mother and Father Education Group" will be placed. The first participant will be determined in this way. For the second participant; 2 paper containing groups not including the first participant will be thrown into the bag and draw the draw. In the third participant, the draw will not be drawn, and the person will be appointed to the remaining group.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental Group 1: The group in which breastfeeding training was given to mothers and fathers

Face-to-face theoretical breastfeeding training and then practical training (breastfeeding techniques, burping, changing diapers, milking by hand or pump, etc.) will be given by the researcher to the mothers and fathers. This training is planned to take 30-45 minutes. Then, an additional 15-30 minutes of father-supported breastfeeding training will be given to fathers. At the end of the training, the "Breastfeeding Booklet" prepared by the researchers will be given to the parents.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Provide breastfeeding education

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Providing breastfeeding education within the first 24 hours after birth

Experimental Group 2: The group in which breastfeeding training was given only to the mother

Only mothers will receive face-to-face theoretical breastfeeding training followed by practical training (breastfeeding techniques, flatulence, changing diapers, milking by hand or pump, etc.). This training is planned to take 30-45 minutes. At the end of the training, mothers will be given a "Breastfeeding Booklet" prepared by the researchers.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Provide breastfeeding education

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Providing breastfeeding education within the first 24 hours after birth

Control Group: No intervention was made, group receiving routine hospital care)

No additional training will be given to this group by the researcher, apart from the trainings included in the routine procedures of the hospital.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
