During the implementation phase, quantitative measurements of the research will be carried out by using the "Antenatal Pregnant Information Form", "Postnatal Mother Information Form", " The Infant Breastfeeding Assesment Tool", "Breastfeeding Motivation Scale", IOWA Infant Nutrition Attitude Scale" and " Mother-To-İnfant Bonding Scale".


Description:

Breast milk is the main source of nutrition for newborns. Although breastfeeding is seen as a necessary process to meet the nutritional needs of babies in the early stages of life, it has a key role for a healthy generation in the long run. In this respect, the project has a unique value for a sustainable future in terms of its effects on the mother and baby in particular and on the social level in general. It is basically a human right that every baby has the potential for a healthy future by being fed with breast milk. In particular, the disruptions experienced in health services during the pandemic process have also significantly affected maternal and child health services. In this respect, another unique value is that it is a longitudinal study that includes innovative methods to be taken at the national level to quickly compensate for the lost momentum in breastfeeding during the pandemic process. Face-to-face counseling and training will start during pregnancy, and then continue as telehealth services. Continuity of counseling will increase the mother's compliance with breastfeeding. Behavior change, which will be developed individually, will also positively affect mother-infant harmony and family-spouse harmony, thus supporting the creation of a healthy development environment. Another unique value of the study is that it will provide data on the comparison of innovative education methods with traditional education methods. Thus the findings obtained will help to improve, regulate or build capacity of future initiatives. The study was planned as a randomized controlled longitudinal study.

A breastfeeding booklet will be created by the researchers by taking expert opinion. This booklet will explain everything about breastfeeding in five sessions. At 34-38 weeks of pregnancy, the first interviews will be done face-to-face at the hospital. The second interview will be made face-to-face or online, depending on the conditions, in the first 1-5 days after the birth. Subsequent interviews (postpartum 1-4 weeks, postpartum 5-12 weeks, postpartum 13-24 weeks) will be held online. The scales used in the research will be applied twice, before and after the training.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Antenatal Pregnant Information Form This form, which was prepared by the researchers in line with the literature, consists of 11 questions containing the sociodemographic characteristics of pregnant women and pregnancy information. 34-38 weeks of pregnancy
Primary Postnatal Mother Information Form this form, which was prepared in line with the literature review, consists of 18 questions that include information on mothers regarding the postpartum period, breastfeeding and baby. postpartum 1-5 day
Primary The Infant Breastfeeding Assesment Tool The scale is a measurement tool developed to determine temporary feeding difficulties in the first 4 to 5 days in healthy and term babies. The scale consists of six questions and the evaluation is made by the mothers. Scoring is done on the basis of the mothers' answers to the questions. Each question is evaluated between 0-3 points (min:0, max:12). Getting a high score from the scale means that there is better. If the baby carries all the effective feeding behaviors, the grand total is 12 points. The score range for effectively fed infants is 10-12 points. The score range for babies who breastfeed quite successfully when encouraged is 7-9 points, and feeding is considered moderately effective. Babies who do not start feeding with stimuli, do not seek or breastfeed for short periods are evaluated in the range of 0-6 points. With this tool, maternal satisfaction and comfort during breastfeeding can also be evaluated. postpartum first 6 months
Primary Breastfeeding Motivation Scale For multiparous mothers, it was determined by explanatory factor analysis that it consisted of 24 items and six sub-factors. According to the calculated Cronbach's alpha value, the Breastfeeding Motivation Scale is a very reliable scale for primiparous (cronbach's alpha: 0.887) and multiparous (cronbach's alpha: 0.914) mothers. The scale consists of 24 items and 5 sub-dimensions. The scale items are in 4-point Likert type, and each item is scored between 1-4 (min:24, max:96).The score of the sub-dimensions is calculated by taking the total score of the scale and the average of the sub-dimension scores of the scale. As the score obtained from the scale sub-dimension increases, it is interpreted as an increase in the motivation representing that sub-dimension. As the score obtained from the scale sub-dimension increases, it is interpreted as an increase in the motivation representing that sub-dimension. postpartum first 6 months
Primary Iowa Infant Nutrition Attitude Scale The scale was developed in order to evaluate women's attitudes towards breastfeeding and to evaluate the duration of breastfeeding together with the choice of baby feeding method. The scale consists of 17 questions and the answers range from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). While 9 questions in the scale support breastfeeding, 8 items contain a supportive approach to formula feeding. The total score that can be obtained from the scale is between min: 17 and max: 85.
Total scale scores can be further categorized into groups:
positive to breastfeeding (scale score 70-85),
neutral (IIFAS score 49-69), and
positive to formula feeding (scale score 17-48).

Primary Mother-To-Infant Bonding Scale In 2005, Taylor et al. The scale developed by Karakulak and Alparslan was adapted to Turkish. The scale, which allows the mother to describe her feelings towards her baby with a single word, can be applied from the first day after birth. It reveals the relationship between the bond established and the mother's first period mood. The scale is in a 4-point Likert format, consisting of 8 items. The answers consisting of four options are scored between 0-3. The scale min:0, max: 24 score. In the evaluation, the 1st, 4th, and 6th items are positive emotion expressions and are scored as 0,1,2,3; 2.,3.,5.,7. Items 8 and 8 are negative emotional expressions and are scored as 3,2,1,0 and reversely. It has been reported that the inter-rater reliability of the scale is 0.71 and the Cronbach's Alpha is 0.66. High scale scores are interpreted as an increase in mother-infant attachment. postpartum first 6 months
