This study was planned to determine the effect of hybrid simulation-based breastfeeding education on the practical skills, satisfaction, self-confidence and self-efficacy of the students of the Department of Midwifery, Hamidiye Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Health Sciences. The research, planned in a randomized controlled experimental design, will be conducted with Istanbul Health Sciences University Hamidiye Health Sciences Faculty midwifery 2nd year students (N: 84). Students participating in the study will be divided into intervention (n: 42) and control (n: 42) groups according to the computer-assisted simple random sampling technique. Both groups will be given 4 hours of theoretical information about breast milk and breastfeeding education before the application. 42 students assigned to the intervention group will receive training with a high-reality simulator fitted to a standard patient, accompanied by a scenario, and 42 students assigned to the control group will receive practice training with an adult standard patient care model. Introductory Information Form, Simulation-Based Learning Evaluation Scale, Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale, Self-Efficacy-Sufficiency Scale, Breastfeeding Management Skill Evaluation Form will be applied to the students participating in the research. As a result of the findings, discussion and conclusions of the study will be written. It is important to increase the competency level of midwifery students in breastfeeding management in a simulation environment that creates virtual reality, before the care applied on real patients in a clinical environment. It is recommended to integrate high-reality simulators and standard patient methods into the curriculum in the education of midwifery students . This study aims to increase the application skills, satisfaction, self-confidence and self-efficacy levels of midwifery department students with hybrid simulation-based Breastfeeding education, in which two or more simulation types (standard patient and Lactation Simulator) are combined to produce a more realistic simulation experience.

Self-EffectivenessEfficacy Scale
TThe Self-Efficacy Scale is structured as a 5-point Likert scale consisting of 23 items, with a possible score range of 23 to 115. For each item in the scale, respondents are asked to mark one of the following options: 1) Does not describe me at all, 2) Describes me a little, 3) Neutral, 4) Describes me well, and 5) Describes me very well. Items 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20, and 22 are scored in reverse. A higher score indicates a higher perception of overall self-efficacy.

Introductory Information Form
In this form, which was created by the researchers based on the literature, the participants' age, the high school they graduated from, the education level of their parents, their willingness to choose the profession, their feeling of belonging to the profession, etc. questions are included. The Introductory Information Form is in a multiple-choice format consisting of 25 questions by scanning the literature by the researchers.

Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Scale in Learning
The scale is a 13-item measurement tool designed to measure student satisfaction with simulation and self-confidence during practices. It is a 5-point Likert type and is scored as strongly disagree 1, disagree 2, undecided 3, agree 4, strongly agree 5.According to the Turkish adaptation of the scale, the total number of items is 12. This scale measures student satisfaction and self-confidence regarding learning in a simulation environment. The scale consists of two subheadings: "Satisfaction with Current Learning" and "Self-Confidence in Learning." The subheading "Satisfaction with Current Learning" includes 5 items, and the subheading "Self-Confidence in Learning" includes 7 items, with no negatively coded items.

Simulation-Based Learning Assessment Scale
The scale has 5 sub-dimensions (nursing process, patient safety, professional information, communication and reflected behavior) and consists of 37 items.All statements on the scale are positive, and there are no negatively coded items. The scale evaluates the essential competencies that a nurse should possess, including the nursing process, patient safety, professional knowledge, communication, and reflective behavior concepts. An increase in the score obtained from the sub-dimensions of the scale indica
