About this study
Breast milk is considered the most biologically appropriate source of nutrition, essential for the healthy growth and development of newborns. Thanks to its optimal nutrients, immunological factors, and growth regulators, it not only meets nutritional needs but also protects against infections, reducing neonatal morbidity and mortality rates. The Pecha Kucha presentation technique keeps presentations concise and dynamic, creating a fast-paced, light, and engaging experience. It minimizes distractions and maximizes engagement. Because there is no text to read in the Pecha Kucha technique, presenters are required to be more prepared and strive to create a coherent narrative, resulting in a flawless narrative. Thus, the aim is to ensure the success and effectiveness of breastfeeding education with this technique, and ultimately, to promote breastfeeding education using the Pecha Kucha technique to healthcare professionals. The population of this randomized, controlled experimental study consists of primiparous postpartum women who gave birth in the Obstetrics Department of the Physical Therapy Annex Building of the Gaziosmanpaşa Training and Research Hospital at the University of Health Sciences. A power analysis was conducted using the G*Power package program, Version 3.1.9.4, to determine the sample size of the study. Because no similar research was found in the literature, Cohen's medium effect size was chosen as the effect size, anticipating that tests assessing the difference between two independent groups would be used when examining the differences in variables between the control and intervention groups. Accordingly, with 64 participants in the control group and 64 in the intervention group, a power of 80% was calculated at a significance level of 0.5 (medium) effect size and 0.05, and a minimum sample size of 128 was determined. The study, planned using an experimental design, is planned to be conducted on two groups: an intervention and a control group. Within the scope of the study, pretest data will be collected by administering the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale and the LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnostic and Assessment Scale, along with an introductory information form, to postpartum women who agree to participate in the study.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
pecha kuchaOther
Training will be provided using training material consisting of 20 slides, each lasting 20 seconds, prepared using the 'Pecha Kucha' technique, for a total duration of 6 minutes and 20 seconds.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| intervention group | Experimental | Mothers in the intervention group will receive breastfeeding training using the Pecha Kucha presentation technique at the first hour postpartum Receives: Other: pecha kucha |
| control group | No intervention | Standard breastfeeding education, as part of the routine postpartum care practices of the Ministry of Health, will be given to the puerperal women in the control group at the first hour postpartum. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
introductory information form
This form, created by researchers based on literature, includes questions about the participants' age, high school graduation, their self-sufficiency against disasters, etc.
Measured: 10 minitus
Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale
The Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale was developed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to assess mothers' breastfeeding self-efficacy levels. The initial form consisted of 33 items. In 2003, the scale was shortened to a 14-item version.Dennis recommends using the short form. The Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Short Form Scale is a 5-point Likert-type scale (1 = Not at all confident and 5 = Always confident). The lowest possible score is 14, and the highest is 70. As the score increases, breastfeeding self-efficacy also increases. The validity and reliability of the scale in Turkey were conducted by Aluş Tokat, Okumus, and Dennis (2010). The scale is a 5-point Likert-type scale, with scores ranging from Not at all confident (1 point) to Always confident (5 points). The minimum possible score is 14, and the maximum score is 70. There is no cut-off point for the scale. A higher score indicates higher breastfeeding self-efficacy. The Cronbach's alpha for the scale was found to be0.87
Measured: 10 minutes
Latch Breastfeeding Diagnostic and Assessment Scale
The LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnostic Measurement Tool was developed by Jensen and colleagues (1994). LATCH is a diagnostic tool created by simulating the Apgar scoring system in terms of its scoring method. It is a quick and easy scale to evaluate (Jensen, Wallace 1994). The Turkish validation of the tool was conducted by Demirhan in 1997, Koyun in 2001, and Yenal and Okumuş in 2003, and it was recommended as a reliable tool. The lowest score obtained from the scale is 0, and the highest is 10. A higher score indicates breastfeeding success. The Cronbach's alpha value of the LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnostic Measurement Tool was found to be 0.95 by Yenal and Okumuş.
Measured: 10 minutes
