Sponsor's own description

Purpose:

It will be carried out to determine the effect of breastfeeding education given to nulliparous pregnant women before cesarean section on breastfeeding intention and breastfeeding attitudes in the postpartum period.

Material method:

The research, planned as a randomized controlled experimental study, will be carried out with a total of 70 mothers who are hospitalized in the Maternity Clinic of Bursa Uludağ University Research and Practice Hospital and who meet the study assignment criteria and who are determined by simple randomization method. Breastfeeding education and support will be provided to 35 women in the experimental group, and 35 women in the control group will be left to the hospital's usual care. Data will be collected between April 2024 and January 2025 using the "Introductory Form," "Newborn Feeding Intention Scale," and "Breastfeeding Attitude Evaluation Scale." The educational intervention will be carried out one-on-one in the woman's own room during the prenatal period for the women allocated to the experimental group. In addition to the explanation, question and answer, and visual material use, the demonstration technique with a newborn model will be used in the education. A booklet containing written illustrated breastfeeding education prepared in line with the literature will be given to mothers with cesarean delivery. The data will be filled in the "Introductory Information Form," "Newborn Feeding Intention Scale," and "Breastfeeding Attitude Assessment Scale." The data of the study will be analyzed in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows 20.0 package program. Descriptive statistics (arithmetic mean, minimum-maximum, standard deviation, number, and percentage), Student t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskal-Wallis test will be used in the analysis of the data.

Expected Result:

Determining the effect of breastfeeding education given to nulliparous pregnant women before cesarean section on breastfeeding intention and breastfeeding attitudes in the postpartum period will guide health professionals. It will be a resource for studies that can be conducted on different sample groups and in different regions on the subject and will contribute to national and international literature and scientific knowledge with the publication to be made.
