Detailed Description

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

The aim of the study is to examine the effects of a breastfeeding education program based on the theory of planned behavior on breastfeeding adaptation, motivation, self-efficacy, and the tendency to stop breastfeeding.

The study was planned to be conducted as a single-center, parallel group, randomized controlled experimental, prospective study in a pretest-posttest design.

The study was planned to be conducted in the pregnancy school/breastfeeding counseling polyclinic of Düzce Atatürk State Hospital. The sample of the study will consist of pregnant women in the last trimester who meet the inclusion criteria. Considering the losses that may occur during the study process, it is planned to continue the study with a total of 88 pregnant women.

The data of the study will be collected from the patient based on the "Introductory Information Form", "Information Form Regarding Birth and Breastfeeding Process", "Breastfeeding Adaptation Scale", "Breastfeeding Motivation Scale (For Primiparous Mothers)", "Breastfeeding Motivation Scale (For Multiparous Mothers)", "Antenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form", "Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form", "Breastfeeding Discontinuity Scale" and "Breastfeeding Follow-up Form".

In the study, the "Breastfeeding Education Program Based on Planned Behavior Theory" consisting of 2 sessions will be applied to the intervention group, while the routine breastfeeding education in the hospital where the study is conducted will be applied to the control group. The breastfeeding process will be followed for 6 months after birth in both groups.

In the analysis of the study, it is planned to analyze descriptive statistics (number, percentage, mean and standard deviation), significance test of the difference between two means in independent groups (t test), t test in dependent groups, multi-way and one-way variance analysis in repeated measurements, Pearson correlation analyses for the relationships between the dimensions determining the scale levels, and the chi-square homogeneity test for whether the intervention and control groups are homogeneous in terms of characteristics.

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Participants Outcome Assessors

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.

Study Groups

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

Intervention Group

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".
