The purpose of this study was planned to examine the effect of the education given through digital storytelling method on fathers' breastfeeding self-efficacy perception. The research is in a quasi-experimental design with no pretest-posttest control group.

Description:

In the study, intervention and control group data will be collected using the Personal Information Collection Form and the Father Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale.

Personal Information Form: The Personal Information Form was developed by the researchers in line with literature information. There are questions about the socio-demographic characteristics of fathers, the role and responsibilities of fathers during breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale for Fathers Short Form: The Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale for Fathers was created by Dennis et al. to measure fathers' self-efficacy in supporting their spouses in breastfeeding, and its Cronbach's alpha value is 0.92.

Primary	Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale for Fathers Short Form	Paternal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale- Short Form (Paternal BSES-SF): Paternal BSES-SF was developed by Dennis et al. (2018) to measure paternal self-efficacy in supporting their wives in breastfeeding and Cronbach's alpha value was 0.92. A Turkish validity-reliability study was conducted by Küçükoglu (2022) and Cronbach's alpha value was found to be 0.93. The scale was applied to all fathers with newborn and breastfed infants and consisted of a single dimension with 14 items evaluated on a 5-point Likert scale (1=never 2=sometimes 3=sometimes 4=often 5=always). There are no reverse scored items in the scale. The minimum score to be obtained from the scale is 14 and the maximum score is 70. The cut-off point of the scale has not been determined,higher scores indicate higher confidence.	up to 12 months
