Clinical Trial Summary
The World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund recommend that every
baby be fed with breast milk alone from birth to 6 months, then with additional foods;
recommends continuation of breastfeeding until at least 2 years of age. It has been reported
that with the spread of breastfeeding, 823,000 child and 20,000 maternal deaths can be
prevented and 300 billion dollars of economic savings can be made every year in the world.
The COVID 19 pandemic, which has been affecting the whole world for the last two years, has
led to changes in the field of consultancy as well as in all areas. Counseling has created a
tendency to be given online due to the rapid spread of the virus, the fact that it is deadly,
and the increased risk in closed areas.
There has been a great deal of interest in the subject of breastfeeding behavior in the
literature, but it has been observed that there is not enough research on breastfeeding
counseling given online. In this study, breastfeeding behavior of mothers in the first six
months and the duration of starting solid food will be investigated.
Description:
Breastfeeding has a biological and emotional effect on mother and baby, and has many
immunological, psychological, social and economic benefits for both mother and baby. The
content of breast milk is regulated according to the needs of the baby, regardless of the
mother's diet. The importance of breastfeeding in laying the foundations of a healthy life is
indisputable.The World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund recommend
that every baby be fed with breast milk alone from birth to 6 months, then with additional
foods; recommends continuation of breastfeeding until at least 2 years of age. It has been
reported that with the spread of breastfeeding, 823,000 child and 20,000 maternal deaths can
be prevented and 300 billion dollars of economic savings can be made every year in the world.
WHO for the protection, promotion and dissemination of breastfeeding; It recommends the full
adoption of the 'International Law on the Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes (Food Code)'
adopted in 1981, the widespread implementation of the 'Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding'
principles within the scope of the Baby-Friendly Health Institutions Program, and increasing
community-based support such as mother support groups and trainings. In addition, it is
recommended to provide counseling and support about breastfeeding at every opportunity where
the baby and parents can be contacted, such as antenatal-postnatal follow-ups, child health
follow-ups and applications due to illness. Eker and Yurdakul stated in their study that it
is the midwife and nurse's responsibility to provide continuous monitoring and control of
mothers in the postpartum period, and they reported that providing breastfeeding education
and counseling after discharge positively affects breastfeeding success.The COVID 19
pandemic, which has been affecting the whole world for the last two years, has led to changes
in the field of consultancy as well as in all areas. Counseling has created a tendency to be
given online due to the rapid spread of the virus, the fact that it is deadly, and the
increased risk in closed areas.
In this study, breastfeeding counseling will be given to women in the postpartum period
online in our country, where early cessation of breastfeeding and early initiation of
complementary foods is a serious problem. There has been a great deal of interest in the
subject of breastfeeding behavior in the literature, but it has been observed that there is
not enough research on breastfeeding counseling given online. In this study, breastfeeding
behavior of mothers in the first six months and the duration of starting solid food will be
investigated.Data will be obtained using the Data Collection Form and the Breastfeeding
Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form. Data Collection Form; It was created as a result of scanning
and examining the relevant literature by the researcher, which includes socio-demographic
characteristics. This form will be applied after completing the informed consent form and
obtaining the participant's consent. Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form; The
Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale was first developed by Dennis and Faux as a 33-item scale.
This scale evaluates the mothers' feeling of self-sufficiency regarding breastfeeding.

Business Machines Statistical Package for Social Sciences Subscription trial version in
computer environment. The descriptive characteristics of the participants will be evaluated
by number, percentage, lowest and highest values, mean, standard deviation. Breastfeeding
Self-Efficacy Scale and ANOVA, t-Test, Mann Whitney U Test, Kruskal Wallis Test, Mean,
Standard Deviation will be analyzed.
