Study groupRoleWhat they receive
interventionExperimentalIntervention group: Mothers in the intervention group were included in the breastfeeding training program with the group training method. The training program was developed by the researchers, and the content of the program was evaluated with the expert opinion of academicians, obstetricians, nurses and breastfeeding counselor midwives working on breastfeeding.

controlNo interventionControl Group:Routine obstetric care and treatment procedures were applied to the mothers in the control group. In the hospital where the study was conducted, all mothers are routinely evaluated for breastfeeding by an infant nurse.

What is being measured

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

  1. Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale

    This scale was developed by Cindy-Lee Dennis to measure breastfeeding competence and consists of 2 subscales and 33 items. The Turkish validity and reliability of the breastfeeding proficiency scale was made by Ekşioğlu and Çeber (2011). Breastfeeding self-efficacy increases as the total score increases in the 5-point Likert-type scale with a Cronbach Alpha coefficient of 0.91. The lowest score is 33, the highest score is 165.

    Measured: twelve weeks

  2. Pre-Test Post-Test Information Form

    It is a question form consisting of 25 questions in order to evaluate the knowledge about breastfeeding and breast milk before and after the training. The first application was done before the training and the second application was carried out in the 12th week.

    Measured: twelve weeks

  3. Breastfeeding levels of mothers

    The exclusive breastfeeding levels of their babies in the fourth and twelfth weeks of the mothers who received and did not receive education were evaluated.

    Measured: four weeks, twelve weeks

Model description
The study was applied to mothers who gave birth at a time when they felt well after being taken to their postnatal room. First, the mothers who met the inclusion criteria were informed, after obtaining written consent, the mothers were randomized using a random number table and then assigned to the intervention and control groups. All mothers were asked to fill in the breastfeeding self-efficacy scale form together with the questionnaire before the intervention. Later, a training program was conducted in the hospital with the mothers in the intervention group. In the data collection phase of the study, 1180 women were evaluated in terms of sampling criteria. 1152 women (who did not meet the criteria or refused to participate) were excluded from the study. 90 randomized women were divided into two groups as intervention and control group. During the follow-up, 5 women in the intervention group and 5 women in the control group were excluded from the study.
