Completed

• Conditions: Breastfeeding

• Registration Number: NCT06732076
• Lead Sponsor: Yuzuncu Yıl University

Brief Summary

It is crucial to prepare adolescent mothers-who represent a vulnerable group where the importance of breastfeeding is increasingly emphasized-for the breastfeeding process. One potential method for promoting breastfeeding is through web-based education interventions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a web-based breastfeeding education program, developed by the researchers, on breastfeeding outcomes among adolescent pregnant women in the postpartum period. This randomized controlled study involved a sample of 100 pregnant adolescents, aged 15-19 years, who were in their third trimester of pregnancy. The study commenced after obtaining ethical approval and permissions from the hospital where the research was conducted.

A web-based breastfeeding education program was administered to the experimental group. Data were collected using a Socio-Demographic Data Form, the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form (Antenatal Version), the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form (Postnatal Version), and the LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnosis and Assessment Scale. Data collection occurred during the third trimester (pretest) and the 1st and 8th postnatal weeks (posttest).
