This study was designed to determine the effect of breastfeeding education given to primiparous pregnant women using the pecha kucha technique on breastfeeding self-efficacy and maternal bonding. The research is a randomized controlled experimental study.
The study population will consist of primiparous pregnant women in their third trimester who apply to the obstetrics and gynecology outpatient clinics of state hospitals. The sample will consist of primiparous pregnant women who volunteer to participate in the study. Data will be collected through face-to-face interviews.

Maternal Attachment Inventory
The Maternal Attachment Inventory (MAI) was developed by Mary E. Muller in 1994 to measure maternal attachment through love. Muller tested maternal adaptation and maternal attachment in two phases using Mercer's theory of maternal role adaptation. The Cronbach's alpha value of the MAI is 0.77 for mothers with one-month-old babies and 0.82 for mothers with four-month-old babies. The validity and reliability of the scale in Turkey were established by Kavlak and Şirin (2009). This study was methodologically planned to adapt the Maternal Attachment Inventory to the Turkish population and test its validity and reliability on mothers with one- and four-month-old babies. Each item is a 26-item scale with a 4-point Likert scale ranging from "always" to "never". Each item includes direct statements and is scored as follows: always (a)=4 points, frequently (b)=3 points, sometimes (c)=2 points, and never (d)=1 point. The lowest possible score on the scale measuring maternal feelings and behavior
