Breastfeeding is extremely effective on the health of the baby and mother.

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

Participants determined by the researchers before starting the study were divided into experimental and control groups by randomization method. Humor-based breastfeeding education was given to women in the experimental group for 35-45 minutes once a week for 2 weeks on specified days and hours. Breastfeeding education was given in practice. Then, humor was practiced with songs and clown costumes. An interim test was administered one month after this application and a final test was administered three months later.
