Overview

Objective: This study will be conducted as a pre-test post-test randomized controlled study in order to determine the effect of postpartum breastfeeding education given to women who had normal vaginal delivery and cesarean section on breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding success. Materials and Methods: The data of the study were collected with "Descriptive Information Form, Breastfeeding Knowledge Level Diagnosis Form, LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnosis and Evaluation Scale and Postpartum Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale". SPSS 25.0 (Statistical Package for Social Science) program will be used in the analysis of the data. Design: Randomized controlled. The study included 76 women who had normal vaginal and cesarean delivery and met the inclusion criteria (Research Research group, 38 control group) in Zeynep Kamil Gynecology and Pediatrics Education and Hospital Postpartum Postpartum Postpartum Service in Istanbul.

Breast milk is a newborn-specific food that varies according to the baby's needs, body weight and the density that the baby can digest. Breastfeeding, on the other hand, is the most natural action that allows mother's milk to meet with the newborn. In addition to providing benefits for the growth and development of the baby, it contributes significantly to the maintenance of general health in advanced ages, the improvement of health and the reduction of the effect of risk factors affecting health. The concept of breastfeeding self-efficacy is the mother's perception of breastfeeding. Self-efficacy perception about breastfeeding determines the behavior of mothers to continue breastfeeding, whether they can cope with breastfeeding problems, their thoughts and attitudes about breastfeeding. Mother's age, education level, baby's weight and mother's number of births are concepts that can affect breastfeeding self-efficacy perception. Although there are many studies on breastfeeding in the literature, a limited number of studies have been found that determine the effect of the early results of postpartum breastfeeding education on breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding success. This study aims to determine the effect of postpartum breastfeeding education given to women who had normal vaginal and cesarean delivery on breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding success. The objectives of the research; * To determine the effect of postpartum breastfeeding education given to women with normal vaginal delivery on breastfeeding self-efficacy. * To determine the effect of postpartum breastfeeding education given to women who had cesarean section on breastfeeding self-efficacy. * To determine the effect of postpartum breastfeeding education given to women who had normal vaginal delivery on breastfeeding success. * To determine the effect of postpartum breastfeeding education given to women who had cesarean section on breastfeeding success.
