Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi75 enrolled

Overview

To evaluate the effect of breastfeeding education given with Pecha Kucha method in the prenatal period on breastfeeding self-efficacy, infant feeding attitude and breastfeeding satisfaction in the postpartum period.

Breastfeeding is the most important factor in infant nutrition. Breast milk is a nutritional source that contains the necessary nutrients for the healthy growth of infants after birth and has many benefits in terms of growth and development. However, although the rate of breastfeeding has increased today compared to the past, it is still not at the desired level. In order to increase breastfeeding rates, breastfeeding trainings should be given starting from the prenatal period. In this study, breastfeeding training will be given to pregnant women with pecha kucha method in the prenatal period and the effect of breastfeeding training on postpartum breastfeeding self-efficacy, infant feeding attitude and breastfeeding satisfaction will be evaluated.

The Pecha Kucha method will be prepared in the form of a presentation consisting of 20 slides each shown for 20 seconds. The Pecha Kucha presentation lasts 6 minutes and 40 seconds, and most slides present only images. This method is planned to be used in breastfeeding education as it will be more memorable because it contains more visual, auditory and short information.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Antenatal and Pospartum Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form

The scale can be administered in prenatal and postnatal periods and measures how competent women feel about breastfeeding. The items of the five-point Likert-type scale are scored as not at all sure, not very sure, sometimes sure, sure, very sure. The lowest score that can be obtained from all the evaluation scores of the scale is 14 and the highest score is 70. A low total score on the scale indicates a low perception of breastfeeding self-efficacy. In the original scale, the Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of the prenatal form was 0.87 and the Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of the postnatal form was 0.86.

Time frame: 0,2 and 4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IOWA)

Women's attitudes towards breastfeeding and to predict breastfeeding duration as well as the choice of infant feeding method. The scale consists of 17 items on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from (strongly disagree) to (strongly agree). While 9 items in the scale are positive about breastfeeding, 8 items contain positive statements about formula feeding. Formula feeding items are reverse scored. The total attitude score ranged from 17 points (reflecting a positive attitude towards bottle feeding) to 85 points (reflecting a positive attitude towards breastfeeding). Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient was 0.71 and the scale was found to be reliable.

Time frame: 0,2 and 4 weeks

Visual Assessment Scale - Satisfaction (VAS - S)

The VAS is also used to measure other components besides pain, such as satisfaction.In our study, the VAS will also be used to assess mothers' breastfeeding satisfaction levels. The Visual Assessment Scale - Satisfaction (VAS-S) is a 10 cm ruler with the expression "Not satisfied" on one end and "Very satisfied" on the other end. The mother is asked to rate her satisfaction with breastfeeding after the training from 1 to 10. High scores on the scale indicate that the satisfaction of the recipients is also high.

Time frame: 2 and 4 weeks
