Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Antenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale

The scale consists of a total of 20 items. The scale is a 5-point Likert type. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 20 and the highest score is 100. An increase in the score obtained from the scale indicates that the perception of breastfeeding self-efficacy has increased.

Time frame: 1 day (first meeting during pregnancy)

Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale

It is a 10-item self-report scale that measures maternal depressive symptoms over the past seven days. Higher scores reflect more depressive symptoms. Symptoms are rated on a 4-point Likert scale with scores ranging from 0 to 30. The cut-off score of the scale was determined as ≥13. If the total score of the scale is 12 or less, the participant is not at risk for PPD, but if he scores 13 or more, he is at risk.

Time frame: 1 day (first meeting during pregnancy and at the sixth week postpartum)
