The Effect Of The Theory Of Planned Behavior Based Breastfeeding Education Program Given To Pregnant Women On Breastfeedıng Adaptation, Motivation, Self-Efficacy And The Tendency To Early Weaning.

Overview

The aim of the research is to examine the effect of a breastfeeding training program based on the theory of planned behavior on Pregnant Womens' Breastfeeding Adaptation, Motivation, Self-Efficacy And The Tendency To Early Weaning.

Detailed description

The aim of the study is to examine the effects of a breastfeeding education program based on the theory of planned behavior on breastfeeding adaptation, motivation, self-efficacy, and the tendency to stop breastfeeding.

The study was planned to be conducted as a single-center, parallel group, randomized controlled experimental, prospective study in a pretest-posttest design.

The study was planned to be conducted in the pregnancy school/breastfeeding counseling polyclinic of Düzce Atatürk State Hospital. The sample of the study will consist of pregnant women in the last trimester who meet the inclusion criteria. Considering the losses that may occur during the study process, it is planned to continue the study with a total of 88 pregnant women.

The data of the study will be collected from the patient based on the "Introductory Information Form", "Information Form Regarding Birth and Breastfeeding Process", "Breastfeeding Adaptation Scale", "Breastfeeding Motivation Scale (For Primiparous Mothers)", "Breastfeeding Motivation Scale (For Multiparous Mothers)", "Antenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form", "Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form", "Breastfeeding Discontinuity Scale" and "Breastfeeding Follow-up Form".

In the study, the "Breastfeeding Education Program Based on Planned Behavior Theory" consisting of 2 sessions will be applied to the intervention group, while the routine breastfeeding education in the hospital where the study is conducted will be applied to the control group. The breastfeeding process will be followed for 6 months after birth in both groups.

In the analysis of the study, it is planned to analyze descriptive statistics (number, percentage, mean and standard deviation), significance test of the difference between two means in independent groups (t test), t test in dependent groups, multi-way and one-way variance analysis in repeated measurements, Pearson correlation analyses for the relationships between the dimensions determining the scale levels, and the chi-square homogeneity test for whether the intervention and control groups are homogeneous in terms of characteristics.

Interventions

  • Behavioral Breastfeeding Education Program Based on Planned Behavior Theory
    In addition to routine breastfeeding training at the hospital where the study is conducted, the intervention group will be given a 2-session Breastfeeding Training Program Based on Planned Behavior Theory. Education Content: The importance of breast milk, the benefits of breastfeeding, the dangers of artificial feeding, putting the baby to the breast, signs of hunger in the baby, the harms of bottle and pacifier, breastfeeding positions, breast-related problems, information sources about breas
