Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Breastfeeding Motivation Scale (For Primiparous Mothers)	The breastfeeding motivation scale developed for primiparous women consists of 23 questions.Intrinsic motivation consists of five sub-factors: integrated regulation, identified regulation, introjected regulation, and extrinsic regulation.The scale, which is a four-point Likert type scale, is scored as 1 = I strongly disagree, 2 = I do not agree, 3 = I agree, 4 = I strongly agree. Total points are not taken from the scale. As the score obtained from the scale sub-dimension increases, the motivation representing that sub-dimension also increases.
