Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
PABEP group	Education	In the research, first of all, breastfeeding training will be given to a nurse mother who has given birth. After this training, the nurse will convey to the mothers the problems she has experienced and coping methods at the end of each training period during the training that the researcher will give to the mothers.
Control Group	Routine Care	They will only receive the routine training provided by the application center.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy	Research data will be collected during training before birth and at 1 and 4 weeks after birth.	It is a scale consisting of 33 items developed by Dennis (1999). The scale prepared as a five-point Likert type; (1) I never trust myself, (2) I don't trust myself very much, (3) I sometimes trust myself, (4) I trust myself most of the time, (5) I always trust myself. As the total score on the scale increases, breastfeeding self-efficacy also increases. The lowest score is 33 and the highest score is 165.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
breastfeeding success	Research data will be collected during training before birth and at 1 and 4 weeks after birth.	The scale consists of six questions and scoring is based on mothers' answers to the questions. The first question is about the baby's starting state of feeding (deep sleep, sleepy, calm-awake, crying). This question is not included in the scoring. The next four questions are about searching and the baby's sucking behavior. Each question is evaluated between 0-3 points and the highest score is 12. The score range in effectively fed babies is 10-12 points. Babies who breastfeed quite successfully when encouraged are given 7-9 points and are considered moderately effective. Babies who do not start feeding upon warning, do not seek nutrition, or breastfeed for short periods are given a score of 0-6. In the last question, mothers record their feelings during feeding (very satisfied, satisfied, not very satisfied, not satisfied). This question is not included in the scoring and is evaluated separately.
