About this study
Official title: The Effect of WhatsApp-based and Face-to-Face Education and Counseling on Women's Quality of Life and Traditional Practices in the Postpartum Period
Introduction: The postpartum period is very important and is a suitable period for women to gain healthy lifestyle behaviors. Studies in the literature show that women with high quality of life have a more comfortable postpartum period. If the needs of women are not met in the postpartum period, there may be an increase in traditional practices for mothers. For this reason, postpartum education is very important for maternal health. Various ways can be used to provide education to mothers. With the development of technology, education given over mobile applications has often found a place in studies. The face-to-face education format, on the other hand, remains up-to-date. It is not known for certain which form of education is superior to the other. Testing the superiority of these two training methods to each other will eliminate the question marks in this area.
Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of WhatsApp-based and face-to-face nursing education and counseling given in the postpartum period on mothers' quality of life and traditional practices.
Method: The experimentally planned study will consist of three groups including WhatsApp, face-to-face and control group. The universe of the research will be composed of women hospitalized in Sivas Numune Hospital Aseptic Service. A total of 180 people will be taken into the sample of the research, 60 of which are in the WhatsApp experimental group, 60 in the face-to-face experimental group and 60 in the control group. Training videos for the postpartum period will be sent to the WhatsApp experimental group via WhatsApp. Face-to-face training will be given to the women in the face-to-face experimental group by the researcher, and the handbook containing the training content will be distributed to the women. Women in both experimental groups will be supported by providing counseling over the phone (message, meeting if needed). No attempt will be made to the control group. The participant introduction form and the Turkish version of the world health organization quality of life scale (WHOQOL-BREF-TR) will be used to evaluate the data of the study. The data will be evaluated with the SPSS 28 program.
Read the detailed description
After the preliminary test is applied to the experimental groups, Training videos regarding the postpartum period will be sent to the WhatsApp experimental group by the researcher via WhatsApp. Face-to-face training will be given to the women in the face-to-face experimental group by the researcher, and the handbook containing the training content will be distributed to the women. Women in both experimental groups will be supported by providing counseling over the phone (message, meeting if needed).
In the study, training modules including general information about the postpartum period, breastfeeding counseling, postpartum nutrition, puerperal psychology, family planning and postpartum exercises, consisting of 4 sessions, will be applied to the women in the experimental groups. Training module I will be administered within 1 week postpartum; general information about the postpartum period by using the literature (ambulation, hygiene, shower, sexual intercourse time, etc.) and the breastfeeding counseling training that the researcher received from the Ministry of Health (importance of breast milk and breastfeeding, practices that support breastfeeding, the importance of skin-to-skin contact (kangaroo care) etc.) breastfeeding counseling will be given. In the 2nd week, telephone counseling (message, meeting if needed) will be provided and general information about postpartum and possible questions and problems regarding breastfeeding counseling will be evaluated. II. the training module will be implemented at the 3rd postpartum week; By making use of the literature, training and nutrition education (for increasing milk and healthy nutrition, etc.) will be given for postpartum puerperal psychology (postpartum depression, etc.). In the 4th week, possible questions and problems related to the trainings given in the previous weeks will be evaluated by providing counseling by phone (message, interview if needed). III. the training module will be implemented at week 5 postpartum; training on family planning (traditional and modern methods) will be provided by making use of the literature. In the 6th week, possible questions and problems related to the trainings given in the previous weeks will be evaluated by providing counseling by phone (message, interview if needed). IV. and the last training module will be administered at 7 weeks postpartum; By making use of the literature, training on postpartum exercises (aerobics, muscle strengthening, etc.) will be given. In the 8th week, telephone counseling (message, interview if needed) will be provided and possible questions and problems related to the trainings given in the previous weeks will be evaluated. The training contents will be organized according to the health promotion model and expert opinion will be sought regarding the training contents. The trainings will be given to the women in the experimental group face-to-face by the researchers in the form of 15-30 minutes of training in their own home environment.Trainings will be sent to the women in the WhatsApp experimental group in the form of videos via the WhatsApp application. The videos will be prepared with the researchers' own voice and image. Each training video will be sent for 15-30 minutes (in the form of short videos, if necessary, divided into parts).Both experimental groups will be supported through messages to increase the motivation of women and to provide counseling for possible questions and problems.
No intervention will be applied to the mothers in the control group.
