Summary

This study aimed to determine the effect of breastfeeding education given to pregnant women by a hybrid simulation method in the antenatal period on postpartum breastfeeding. This study will be carried out in a family health center in Turkey. Breastfeeding education will be given to pregnant women using a hybrid simulation method consisting of a wearable breast model and the standard patient in the intervention group. Women in the control group will receive only routine breastfeeding education.

Detailed description

The research will be conducted as a randomized controlled trial. The stratified block randomization methods will be used to assign women to the intervention and control groups. The personal information form and Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form (Antenatal) will be implemented to all women before the intervention. Breastfeeding education will be given to pregnant women using a hybrid simulation method consisting of a wearable breast model and the standard patient to support women in breastfeeding and to ensure the continuity of breastfeeding in the postpartum period. Breastfeeding education will be given to women in the 32-36 weeks of pregnancy in the antenatal period. The control group will be received the routine antenatal breastfeeding education given to all women by healthcare personnel as part of the family health center procedures. The Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form (Postnatal) and the LATCH Breastfeeding Assessment Tool will be administered to women in both the experimental and control groups within the postpartum fifth days and at sixth week postpartum.

Conditions

• Breastfeeding

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Breastfeeding education using hybrid simulation method	In addition to the verbal breastfeeding training given to the pregnant women assigned to the experimental group, breastfeeding training will be given using the hybrid simulation method consisting of a wearable breast model and standard patient practice.
BEHAVIORAL	Routine verbal breastfeeding education	Women in this group will receive oral breastfeeding training, which is routinely given in the pregnant education class and consists of one session.
