About

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of breastfeeding experience on breastfeeding self-efficacy and motivation in women with virtual reality simulation. The main question it aims to answer is:

Is breastfeeding experience with virtual reality glasses effective in increasing breastfeeding self-efficacy and motivation? They completed the Socio-Demographic and Pregnancy Information Form and the Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale. Standard breastfeeding training was given. The application group also experienced breastfeeding with a virtual reality simulation. At the end of the application, they filled out the Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale again. They completed the postpartum Primiparous Breastfeeding Motivation Scale.

52 participants in 2 patient groups

Virtual Reality

Experimental group

Description:

Individual standard breastfeeding education was provided. After the training, they experienced the first breastfeeding simulation in a hospital environment for 5 minutes with virtual reality glasses. A week later (37. during the gestational week), they experienced the second breastfeeding simulation in a home environment for 5 minutes with virtual reality glasses. They completed the Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale (final test). Finally, 1 after giving birth. and 2. they completed the Primiparous Breastfeeding Motivation Scale between months. Opinions were obtained from pregnant women who wanted to express their opinions about the virtual reality glasses breastfeeding simulation experiences.

Treatment:

Other: virtual reality

Control

No Intervention group

Description:

Before starting the study, pregnant women who will be included in the control group according to the inclusion criteria and randomization were informed by the researcher about the study. At the beginning of the study, the control group (36. during the week of pregnancy) pregnant women filled out the Socio-Demographic and Pregnancy Information Form, Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale (pre-test). Then, individual standard breastfeeding training was given. A week later (37. during the week of pregnancy), they completed the Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale (final test). Finally, 1 after giving birth. and 2. they completed the Primiparous Breastfeeding Motivation Scale between months.
