In the study, 230 couples were reached but 110 couples were excluded ( Not meeting the 
inclusion criteria n=40, unwilling to participate in the study n=70 ). The remaining 120 couples 
were randomized. As a result of randomization, 60 couples were assigned to the control group 
and 60 couples to the intervention group. Ten of the couples in the intervention group were 
excluded (n=6 did not complete the trainings, n= 2 did not complete the negotiations, n= 1 
newborn was admitted. In addition, 7 couples in the control group could not be reached. For 
these reasons, the study was completed with the participation of 51 couples in the intervention 
group and 53 couples in the control group. This study was carried out in two stages (Figure 2).

In the first stage, pregnant women and their spouses who met the study criteria were determined 
and assigned to the intervention and control groups by randomization method. In the second stage of the 
study, "Knowledge Level", "Motivation Level", "Behavioral Skills" steps were applied. 
In the first stage of the study, pregnant women and their spouses who applied to the pregnancy 
outpatient clinic between the 28th and 30th gestational weeks, meeting the research criteria, were 
randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. Detailed information about the study was given 
to the pregnant women and their spouses in the intervention and control group, and a voluntary consent 
form was obtained. Pregnant women in both groups filled in the İndividual İnformation Form/ Mother 
and Prental Attachment İnventory. Spouses in both groups filled in the İndividual İnformation Form/ 
Father and Intrauterine Father Attachment Scale. In addition, they were asked to write their own 
nicknames on each form and mark them on the forms. A mobile phone number that could be contacted 
was obtained from the pregnant women and their spouses in both groups. Parents in the intervention 
group were told how to participate in the parenting preparation training that will be given on the internet, 
and they were given a "Guide for Accessing Internet-Based Education", "Training Booklet" and 
"Attachment Diary". On the other hand, "Guide for Accessing Internet-Based Education", "Training 
Booklet" and "Attachment Diary" was not given to the pregnant women and their spouses in the control 
group. 
In the second stage of the study, the information step of the model was carried out. In this context, a 
WhatsApp group was created, including the pregnant women and their spouses in the intervention group. 
For intervention group trainings; The announcement of the training was informed by the whatsapp group. 
Each pregnant woman or her spouse was contacted and a time was determined when they were suitable 
for internet-based parenting training. The training hours are adjusted according to the day and time that 
the parents are available. 
The Parenting Preparation Training consisted of 4 sessions and lasted a total of 4 weeks. The 
training was given by the researcher who has a "Parenting and Family Coaching" certificate. Each session 
consisted of 40 minutes and the training consisted of a total of 200 minutes. The training to be given to 
the intervention group was carried out at 31, 32, 33 and 34 weeks of pregnancy after the 30th week of 
pregnancy. 

Parenting Preparation Training Content: The training program consisted of four sessions (Figure 3). 
Before the training, meeting, expectations, aims and objectives of the training were determined. In the 
first session, "Parenting and Attachment Concept", "Attachment Styles in Infancy and Childhood", 
"Securely Attached Babies", "Insecurely Avoidant Attachment Babies", "Insecurely Anxious Attachment 
Babies" were discussed. In the second session, training was given on "Parenting and Attachment During 
Pregnancy" and "Applications Increasing Attachment During Pregnancy". In the third session, training 
will be given on "Attachment in Birth" and "Applications that Increase Attachment in Birth". In the fourth

Prental Attachment Inventory was applied online to the pregnant women in both groups at 35th -
36th gestational week. The intrauterine Father Attachment Scale was applied online to the spouses in both 
groups at the 35th gestational week. 
Within the scope of the motivation step of the model, the parents in the intervention group wanted 
to share their experiences and problems as mothers and fathers during pregnancy and between 36-38 
weeks of gestation and 20-40 postpartum. Between these days, a total of two internet-based face-to-face 
interviews were made for the family and counseling was provided. In addition, reminders, videos and 
stories about mother and baby bonding were shared by the researcher regularly in the 36th, 37th and 38th 
weeks to the whatsapp groups in the intervention groups. In the internet-based motivational interview 
held between 36-38 weeks of gestation with the parents in the intervention group, an interview on "Being

Attachment Scale was filled in for the fathers in both groups via the WhatsApp application. At the same 
time, the participants were asked to indicate their nicknames again on the questionnaire forms.
