详细描述
This research aimed to identify sustainable breastfeeding practices and green mothers' initiatives to develop a strong mother-child bond.
The sample size was calculated using G*Power 3.1. 9.7 software (Faul et al., 2007), the effect size was determined to be Cohen's d=0.9780770. Statistical power analysis was performed according to A Priori: Calculate required sample size (Means: Difference between two independent means (two groups)), 95% power (1-β) and α=0.05, and given these parameters it was concluded that a sample size of at least 58 participants was required for the study in question. In the event of data loss, a 20% increase in the sample size was expected as a result of statistical advice. Accordingly, it was planned to conduct the study with a total of n=70 people, n=35 in the intervention group and n=35 in the control group.
It was carried out with the participation of two groups. The green mother education group received 4 training sessions of 60 minutes each. The control group received routine hospital care but no other intervention during this period.
Data for the study were collected by the researcher using face-to-face interviews, a personal information form with demographic questions, and the measurement tools used in the study. The training was completed after 4 weeks. After the training, the measurement tools were used for the woman's postpartum period.
The participants were given an explanation of the green motherhood education and told how, for how long, and where the training would take place. The face-to-face green motherhood education programme was completed by the participants in a specific way for each session (nutrition, breastfeeding, environmental awareness and bonding). The training was delivered using a poster.

研究组 & 干预措施
Green motherhood education
Pregnant women selected for the experimental group will receive 4 weeks of green motherhood training.
The programme, which includes breastfeeding, bonding and carbon footprint training, is delivered 4 times by researchers.
The training content has been prepared by the researchers by scanning the literature. The training will be delivered using posters.
干预措施: Green motherhood education (Behavioral)
Standard of care
Women in the control group receive routine care at the same hospital's polyclinics.
结局指标
主要结局
Sustainable and Healthy Eating Behaviors scale
时间窗: Participants immediately after group assignment, 6 months after the birth
The Sustainable and Healthy Eating Behaviours scale consists of 32 items and seven sub-dimensions. Quality labels (local and organic), seasonal food and avoiding food waste, animal health, reducing meat consumption, healthy and balanced diet, local food, low fat. Participants are asked to rate each item as 'never', 'very rarely', 'rarely', 'sometimes', 'often', 'very often' or 'always'. Never' is worth 1 point and 'always' is worth 7 points. Factor scores are calculated by taking the average of the scores given to the items in that factor (between 1 and 7 points). Cronbach's alpha was found to be 0.912. The lowest possible score is 32 and the highest is 224. This reflects high sustainability.
Carbon Footprint Awareness Scale
时间窗: Participants immediately after group assignment, 6 months after the birth
The scale comprises 19 items measured on a 5-point Likert-type scale, focusing on five key areas: transportation, which includes 3 items; fuel consumption, also with 3 items; electricity use, featuring 5 items; food consumption, containing 5 items; and waste management, which has 3 items. The scale demonstrates a strong factor structure, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.86, indicating high reliability, and it explains 56.09% of the variance in the data. The lowest score is 19 and the highest is 95. High scores indicate sustainability.
Depression Anxiety and Stress scales-21
时间窗: Participants immediately after group assignment, 1st day after delivery, 3rd month after delivery, 6th month after delivery
This 21-item scale consists of three dimensions, namely anxiety, depression, and stress. Items are measured on a 4-point Likert-type scale ranging from 0 (Never) to 3 (Always). A higher sum score indicates more severe symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress.
Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support
时间窗: Participants were assigned to the group immediately after birth, 1 day after birth, 3 months after birth and 6 months after birth.
Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support is a psychometric tool designed by Zimet et al. 18 and adapted to Turkish by Eker et al. 19 to measure individuals' perceived social support from three sources: "family, friends, and a significant other." This scale comprises 12 items, rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree. The internal consistency coefficients reported for the scale are within the range of 0.80 to 0.85, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.92.
Scale Breast-feeding Self-efficacy Scale
时间窗: 1st day after birth, 3rd month after birth, 6th month after birth
Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale: This is a 33-item scale developed by Dennis (1999). It consists of two sub-dimensions to determine mothers' breastfeeding skills, beliefs and behaviours regarding breastfeeding. The validity and reliability study of the Turkish form of the scale was conducted by Ekşioğlu and Çeber (2011). Breastfeeding self-efficacy was assessed using a five-point Likert scale: (1) I never trust myself, (2) I do not trust myself very much, (3) I trust myself sometimes, (4) I trust myself often, (5) I always trust myself. As the total score on the scale increases, so does breastfeeding self-efficacy. The lowest score is 33 and the highest is 165.
Postpartum Attachment Scale
时间窗: 1st day after birth, 3rd month after birth, 6th month after birth
The Postpartum Attachment Scale is a mother-filled assessment tool that utilizes a six-point Likert scale defined as "always," "very often," "often," "sometimes," "rarely," and "never." This scale consists of 25 items, with some items rated inversely, and scores range from 0 to 5. It is organized into four sub-dimensions: "attachment disorder" with 12 items, "rejection and irritability" with 7 items, "tension about care" with 4 items, and "risk of abuse" with 2 items. The overall cut-off point for the scale is set at 26 points, with a score of 27 or above indicating a postpartum attachment problem. In the original study, the total score had a Cronbach's alpha of 0.75, while the subscales showed varying reliability: 0.62 for attachment disorder, 0.53 for rejection and irritability, 0.40 for anxiety in babysitting, and 0.11 for risk of abuse.
