Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Care Participation Assessment Scale	6 month	Care practices of mothers are evaluated as Yes-No and scored as 1-0. Although the maximum score that can be obtained from the scale is 19, an increase in the score means that participation in care has dropped.

Each infant care item is rated from 1 (not at all) to 5 (completely). High total score results indicate high self-confidence in babysitting.
Taylor Mother-Infant Attachment Scale	6 month	The answers consisting of four options are scored between 0-3, the lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 0 and the highest score is 24.
