Official title: The Effect of Face-to-Face and Tele-Lactation Intervention Program on Knowledge, Self-Efficacy, and Practices Among Primiparas
This study aims to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of a face-to-face intervention program and a tele-lactation intervention program on breastfeeding myths, knowledge, self-efficacy, and practices among primiparous mothers. Participants will be assigned to receive either face-to-face or tele-lactation guidance and support. Breastfeeding knowledge, self-efficacy, and practices will be assessed to determine the impact of each approach on improving outcomes for first-time mothers

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
breastfeeding knowledge
The total knowledge score will be organized as follows: poor knowledge, if the total response score ˂ 50 %, neutral knowledge if the scores range from 50% to 75%, and good knowledge if the scores are>75%
Measured: 2 months
Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF)
Assessed using the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form (BSES-SF), which consists of 14 items rated on a 3-point Likert scale (1 = not confident to 3 = confident). Total scores range from 14 to 42, with higher scores indicating better breastfeeding self-efficacy
Measured: 2 months
primipara reported practices
This tool consists of 28 items divided into four sections:preparation for breastfeeding (6 items), practices for latch on (7 items), practices during feeding (8 items), and post-feeding practices (7 items) Scoring system The total breastfeeding practice score ranged from 0 to 28. One point was awarded for each practiced item, and zero points were given for each item not practiced. A total score was calculated as a continuous variable and presented as the mean and standard deviation, with a higher mean score indicating a higher level of breastfeeding practice
Measured: 2 months
Breastfeeding-related taboos and myths among Primiparous Women
This 22-item tool assessed breastfeeding myths using factual and myth-based statements scored on a 2-point scale (1 = incorrect, 2 = correct), with reverse scoring applied to myths Total scores ranged from 22 to 44, where higher scores indicated better knowledge and fewer misconceptions
Measured: 2 months
