Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study is a randomized controlled experimental study conducted to determine the effect of applied breastfeeding training given through Lactation Simulation Model (LSM) in antenatal period on the success of women in breastfeeding, their self-efficacy perception regarding breastfeeding and their attitude towards and knowledge of breastfeeding.
Detailed Description
This study is a randomized controlled experimental study conducted to determine the effect of applied breastfeeding training given through Lactation Simulation Model (LSM) in antenatal period on the success of women in breastfeeding, their self-efficacy perception regarding breastfeeding and their attitude towards and knowledge of breastfeeding. The research was carried out with the participation of two groups. In this context, applied breastfeeding training with LSM was given to pregnant women in the intervention group (simulation training group, n=64) during antenatal period, and standard training-video training under the hospital protocol (video training group, n = 64) was provided to pregnant women in the control group. Then, breastfeeding success, breastfeeding self efficacy, attitude and knowledge levels regarding breastfeeding were evaluated in the postnatal period. The data of the research were collected through Participant Description Questionnaire, LATCH Assessment Tool, Breastfeeding Attitude and Knowledge Questionnaire, Breastfeeding Self efficacy Scale and Postnatal Period Follow-up Questionnaire. In addition, LSM was employed in the implementation for the simulation training group. Research data were analyzed by using SPSS 23.0 statistics program.

- •Breastfeeding contraindications Having a high-risk pregnancy Preterm delivery (before 37 weeks of gestation) Having a health condition that prevents breastfeeding in the newborn after birth Having mental disability and serious mental disorder Women with multiple pregnancies were excluded from the study.
Arms & Interventions
Simulation training experiment group
In this training, the researcher firstly explained breastfeeding by wearing the Lactation Simulation Model on himself and showing it practically on himself.
Afterwards, the model was dressed on the pregnant woman and the pregnant woman was given one-on-one breastfeeding practice.
In this process, all questions of the pregnant woman were answered by the researcher.
Intervention: simulation training group (Other)
Control group
At this stage, the standard video screening prepared for breastfeeding education within the scope of the hospital protocol was shown to the pregnant woman by the researcher with a tablet.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnostic and Assessment Scale
Time Frame: The scale was filled twice, with an average of two hours, in the first 24 hours after delivery, when the mother was free of pain and felt well.
LATCH consists of the combination of the first letters of the English equivalent of the five criteria defined above. Each item is evaluated between 0-2 points. The lowest score that can be obtained from the entire scale is 0 and the highest score is 10. The scale has no breakpoints. The low score on the scale indicates the need for active intervention, support and follow-up after discharge in breastfeeding. The higher the LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnosis and Evaluation Scale score, the higher the success of breastfeeding. Cronbach's alpha value was found to be 0.95 in the study in which the Turkish validity and reliability of the scale was carried out.
Secondary Outcomes
- Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form(It was applied both in the antenatal period (at 32-36 weeks of pregnancy) and in the postnatal 24 hours.)
- Breastfeeding Attitude and Knowledge Questionnaire(It was applied both in the antenatal period (at 32-36 weeks of pregnancy) and in the postnatal 24 hours.)
