Full description

This study is a randomized controlled experimental study conducted to determine the effect of applied breastfeeding training given through Lactation Simulation Model (LSM) in antenatal period on the success of women in breastfeeding, their self-efficacy perception regarding breastfeeding and their attitude towards and knowledge of breastfeeding. The research was carried out with the participation of two groups. In this context, applied breastfeeding training with LSM was given to pregnant women in the intervention group (simulation training group, n=64) during antenatal period, and standard training-video training under the hospital protocol (video training group, n = 64) was provided to pregnant women in the control group. Then, breastfeeding success, breastfeeding self efficacy, attitude and knowledge levels regarding breastfeeding were evaluated in the postnatal period. The data of the research were collected through Participant Description Questionnaire, LATCH Assessment Tool, Breastfeeding Attitude and Knowledge Questionnaire, Breastfeeding Self efficacy Scale and Postnatal Period Follow-up Questionnaire. In addition, LSM was employed in the implementation for the simulation training group. Research data were analyzed by using SPSS 23.0 statistics program.

128 participants in 2 patient groups

Simulation training experiment group

Experimental group

Description:

In this training, the researcher firstly explained breastfeeding by wearing the Lactation Simulation Model on himself and showing it practically on himself. Afterwards, the model was dressed on the pregnant woman and the pregnant woman was given one-on-one breastfeeding practice. In this process, all questions of the pregnant woman were answered by the researcher.

Treatment:

Other: simulation training group

Control group

No Intervention group

Description:

At this stage, the standard video screening prepared for breastfeeding education within the scope of the hospital protocol was shown to the pregnant woman by the researcher with a tablet.
