Detailed Description
Practices for increasing breastfeeding self-efficacy are of vital importance and they increase the level of breastfeeding self-efficacy. Breast milk and breastfeeding educations have given in the ante-natal period are another way of increasing the success of breastfeeding.
In this experimental investigation, 80 pregnant women who attended a baby-friendly hospital were randomly assigned to the education (n = 40) or control (n = 40) groups. The pregnant women in the intervention group received 4 hours of human milk and breastfeeding educational sessions along with routine care and furthermore, a brochure prepared by the researcher was given. All women whose estimated delivery date had approximated were questioned about whether they had given birth or not, and the sociodemographic data form, the LATCH Breastfeeding Assessment Tool and the Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale-short form were applied to the subjects in the education and the control group by visiting them at home when the post-partum first week had been completed.
