Clinical Trial Summary

This research will be carried out in a quasi-experimental design to determine the effect of maternity care and neonatal care training given to primiparous pregnant women on parental self-efficacy and mother-infant attachment in the postpartum period.

Research Hypotheses:

H0: There is no difference in parental self-efficacy and mother-infant attachment in the postpartum period between pregnant women who received training during pregnancy and did not.

H1: There is a difference in parental self-efficacy and mother-infant attachment in the postpartum period between pregnant women who received and did not receive education during pregnancy.

Description:

The number of people to be included in the study was made with the power analysis made considering the previous studies. With the G * Power (3.1.9.7.) Program, the number of samples for each group was determined as n = 34 at 80% power, 5% error and 95% confidence interval. Considering the losses in data collection, 20% was added to each group and it was decided to recruit a total of 80 people, 40 people for the experimental group and 40 people for the control group.

Pregnant women included in the research sample will be divided into two groups as experimental and control groups. Data will be collected by sending via an online questionnaire created by the researchers. Before the online questionnaire is sent to the experimental and control groups, the experimental-control days will be determined randomly by a lottery drawn by a third person (blinding). Pregnant women who agree to participate in the study will be assigned to the experimental and control groups according to the determined days.

The data obtained in the study will be analyzed using the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) for Windows 22.0 program. Significance value will be considered as p <0.05.

Number, percentage, mean and standard deviation will be used as descriptive statistical methods in the evaluation of data. Pearson correlation and regression analysis will be applied among the continuous variables of the study. The t-test will be used to compare the quantitative continuous data between two independent groups, and the One-way Anova test will be used to compare the quantitative continuous data between more than two independent groups. After the Anova test, the Scheffe test will be used as a complementary post-hoc analysis to determine the differences.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Parental self-efficacy in postpartum period of pregnant women who received education during pregnancy	Parental Self-Efficacy Scale will be used in the evaluation.
