About

Planned for the purpose to evaluate, breast problems (nipple fissure, nipple pain), breastfeeding self-efficacy, breastfeeding success, and infant feeding attitude of mothers by given breastfeeding education with a laid back (semi-sitting or semi-lying) and upright position (sitting upright) using lactation simulation model.

Full description

This study aims to increase breastfeeding success, breastfeeding self-efficacy and effective infant feeding, reduce breast problems, and to affect positively the mother's infant feeding attitude of breastfeeding positions taught to mothers in the antenatal period with the lactation simulation model. Also, it carried out to reveal the importance of midwife/nurse support and education that starts in the antenatal period and continues in the postpartum period, by increasing the adaptation of the mother to the breastfeeding process with the education given in the antenatal period, aims to contribute to the initiation and maintenance of breastfeeding. his study will be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study. The population of the study will be primiparous pregnant women who applied to Kastamonu Education and Research Hospital between 01/05/2022-01/05/2023. The sample will consist of 105 pregnant women (35 pregnant women for each group) who met the inclusion criteria and accepted to participate in the study. The mothers in the experimental group will be trained with the lactation simulation model during the antenatal care follow-ups in the last trimester of their pregnancy (one group laid back and another group breastfeeding position education) and the necessary forms will be filled in their first interview, A second interview will be held within the first 24 hours after the birth, and the breastfeeding position taught to the mothers will be shown in practice by supporting the mother, and the necessary forms will be filled. The third meeting will be held between 7.-10. days of postpartum and the necessary forms will be filled. The mothers in the control group will be interviewed during the antenatal care follow-ups in the last trimester of their pregnancy. Mothers in the control group will receive routine care and routine breastfeeding education both in the prenatal and postnatal period. Necessary forms will be filled with the mothers in the control group by meeting in the first 24 hours and on the days 7th-10th. of postpartum. Personal information form, breastfeeding self-efficacy scale, Iowa infant feeding attitude scale, LATCH, visual comparison scale, postpartum breastfeeding follow-up form, breast problems evaluation form and IMDAT form will be used as data collection tools. Breastfeeding has numerous benefits for mother and baby. While it prevents many diseases such as otitis media, respiratory tract infections, obesity, sudden infant death syndrome, allergies and diabetes in infants, it neurodevelopmentally contributes positive effects to the development of the baby. Postpartum depression, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, breast cancer, ovarian cancer and osteoporosis rates are lower in mothers who breastfeed for more than 1 year. The fact that there is less feeding cost contributes to the family economically.
