About this study

Official title: Effect of Nutrition Training on Mother's Nutrition Pattern, Breast Milk and Newborn Intestinal Microbiota

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of nutrition Training on mothers' nutrition pattern, breast milk and newborn intestinal microbiota.

Materials and methods: The study was conducted as a non-randomized controlled experimental study. The population of the study consisted of mothers and their babies who delivered vaginally, breastfeeded their babies at the end of the second postnatal day and delivered at the maternity ward of the Malatya Training and Research Hospital Beydağı Campus. The sample of the study consisted of 120 mothers, 57 of whom were experimental and 63 of them were in the control group. In this study, a sub-sample of 15 mothers and their infants was selected and microbiota of breast milk and stool samples were examined.

In the first interview with the mothers in the experimental and control groups, Participant Identification Form, BTSKF were applied as a pre-test and stool samples of breast milk and newborn were taken. Then, the mothers in the experimental group were given nutritional education. In addition, motivational messages were sent to mothers' phones once a week. MTS in the experimental and control groups were filled with BTSKF as an intermediate test at the first month and post-test at the third month and stool samples of breast milk and newborn were collected at the mothers' own homes. During these visits, nutrition counseling was given to the mothers in the experimental group.

Read the detailed description

Nutrition is very important from intrauterine life to old age for a healthy and productive life. However, the importance of pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding during the special stages in which the woman is experienced in her life process increases slightly (Ho et al., 2016; Erick, 2018; Tekiner and Ungan, 2014). Healthy nutrition is a key concern for the health of the baby during pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding periods as well as the health of the mother (Taşkın, 2016; Samur, 2008). Intrauterine life is transmitted by placental way and in the postpartum period, breast milk is fed to the baby. Therefore, in order to ensure optimal growth and development of the baby, the mother needs adequate, regular and quality nutrition (Ho et al., 2016; Erick, 2018; Tekiner and Ungan, 2014).

Study groups in NCT04223375
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Nutrition GroupExperimentalAfter the health status of the mothers in the experimental group was stabilized, approximately 20-30 minutes of nutritional education was given at the first interview before the hospital discharge. After nutrition education, motivational messages were sent to women's phones once a week. In addition, mothers were given nutritional counseling during their home visits during the 1st and 3rd months, and their questions and problems regarding nutrition were evaluated. The mother was supported where she needed it. In nutritional education, information was given such as adequate and balanced nutrition in the postpartum period, adequate fluid intake, consumption and importance of prebiotic and probiotic foods, the importance of healthy microbiota for infant health and the amount of nutrients equivalent to one serving. In addition, the handbook which contains the educational content is given to the mothers to facilitate the recall.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Effect of nutrition traning

    Food Consumption Frequency Registration Form It is a form created by determining the type, frequency and amount of food consumed in order to determine the food consumption habits of mothers in the last 1 month. Food Consumption Frequency Registration Form is composed of four basic food groups (Milk and dairy products,Meat and group foods, Vegetable and fruit group and Grain group).

    Mothers were asked to define the frequency of food consumption as daily, 5-6 times a week, 3-4 times a week, 1-2 times a week, once every 15 days and once a month. The mother of the amount of food they consume is used in everyday life, cups, spoons, were asked to specify the dimensions such as grain, followed by Turkey Ministry of Health Nutrition Guidelines (2016) was recorded by turning a portion.

    Measured: 3 months
