Overview

In the literature, there are studies conducted to determine the effect of simulation-based and different training techniques models given in the prenatal period on postpartum breastfeeding self-efficacy. However, no study was found that evaluated the effects of simulation-based and different training techniques given in the prenatal period on breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding problems. Therefore, this study was planned to determine the effect of simulation-based breastfeeding education on breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding problems in the prenatal period.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

simulation affect on breastfeeding self-efficacy

It is planned to increase women's breastfeeding self-efficacy through training Breastfeeding Self-efficacy scale points are supposed to be between 14-70 points. Getting higher points shows better breastfeeding self-efficacy.

Time frame: postpartum 7th week

simulation affect on breastfeeding problems

It is planned to prevent possible breast problems with the training given to women. It is supposed to get points from 18 to 90 related to Breastfeeding Experience Scale.Getting lower points is more preferable than higher points. Getting points near to 90 shows increased problems related to breastfeeding.
