Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Web-based Group	Newborn Basic Care Training	The father's phone will be stolen and the father will record the researcher's phone number. After this stage, the researcher will apply a pre-test, make the father a member of the website and show the first video about basic newborn care to the father via his phone. The first access to the website will be made under the guidance of the researcher. For membership, individuals must have an internet connection and know how to use a phone. Even though the fathers made their first viewing before being discharged from the hospital, the web page will be open for 1 month and they will be able to watch the video they want whenever they want. Individuals who visit the page and agree to participate in the study will be given a posttest at the end of the 1st month and at the end of the 4th month.
Face-to-face Group	Newborn Basic Care Training	The father's phone will be stolen and the father will record the researcher's phone number. Then, before his wife is discharged from the hospital, the father will be interviewed and an appointment will be made to meet at the clinic at a convenient time. During this appointment, the researcher will apply a pre-test and explain information about basic newborn care (hygiene, safety and nutrition) face-to-face and in practice. In addition, brochures about baby care will be provided to fathers that they can use at any time. After this process, the final test will be applied at the end of the 1st month and at the end of the 4th month.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Fathers' Self-Efficacy Scale for Newborn Care	Change from within the first 24 hours of postpartum, after Newborn basic care training is completed (4th weeks), and four months after Newborn basic care training is completed	This scale, developed by researchers, consists of 3 sub-dimensions (Hygiene, Safety and Nutrition). The hygiene sub-dimension consists of 10 items, the security sub-dimension consists of 4 items, and the nutrition sub-dimension consists of 3 items, making a total of 17 items. Each item of the scale is scored from 1 to 5, and the lowest score obtained from the scale is 17 and the highest score is 85. A high score means that the father's self-efficacy in basic newborn care is high.
Paternal-Infant Attachment Scale	Change from within the first 24 hours of postpartum, after Newborn basic care training is completed (4th weeks), and four months after Newborn basic care training is completed	The Paternal-infant attachment scale is a scale developed by Condon et al. (2008) to evaluate paternal-infant attachment after birth (Condon et al., 2008). This scale was adapted to Turkish society by Güleç and Kavlak (2013) and its validity and reliability were tested. The scale consists of 3 sub-dimensions and 19 items. Each item of the scale is scored from 1 to 5, and the lowest score obtained from the scale is 19 and the highest score is 95. A high score means that attachment is high.
