Detailed description: 
      Healthy pregnant women and their spouses participated in this study. Pregnant women and their
      spouses who met the research criteria were identified and randomized as intervention and
      control groups according to the order of application to antenatal clinic.

      This study was carried out in two stages. In the first stage of the study 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. A guide to providing access to internet-based
      education, training booklet and attachment diary was given to the pregnant women and their
      spouses in the intervention group. A guide to providing access to internet-based education,
      training booklet and attachment diary was not given to the pregnant women and their spouses
      in the control group.

      Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) Model was given to the pregnant women and
      their spouses in the intervention group, once a week between 31 and 34 weeks of gestation,
      for a total of 4 times. No training was given to the pregnant women and their spouses in the
      control group. Prental Attachment Inventory was applied online to the pregnant women in both
      groups at 35th gestational week. The intrauterine Father Attachment Scale was applied online
      to the spouses in both groups at the 35th gestational week. Internet-based counseling was
      given to the pregnant women and their spouses in the intervention group as part of the
      motivation step of the model. This counseling was applied twice, the first between 36 and 38
      weeks of gestation and the second between 20 and 40 days after delivery. Counseling was not
      provided to the pregnant women and their spouses in the control group. Within the scope of
      the behavioral skills step of the model, Maternal Attachment Inventory was applied to the
      mothers in the intervention group, and Paternal Infant Attachment Scale was applied to the
      fathers in the intervention group online at the 3nd month postpartum. The Mother Attachment
      Inventory was administered online to the mothers in the control group, and the Paternal
      Infant Attachment Scale was administered online to the fathers in the control group in the
      thirth month after birth.

      on the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) Model on Maternal and Paternal
      Attachment. Within the scope of the study, Prental Attachment İnventory scores of the
      pregnant women in the intervention and control groups were compared before and after the
      education. In addition, Maternal Attachment Inventory scores of mothers in the intervention

      applied to Ankara City Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics antenatal clinic.

      Sample of the Study Group: The sample of the study was calculated based on the Atalay and
      Saydam (2014) study results (Maternal Attachment Scale (MBI): Experimental Group X̅+SD:
      101.24 ± 4.60 and Control Group X̅+SD: 96.00 9.09) (124). Analysis In Gpower version 3.1.9.7,
      the effect size (0.727) was calculated according to the power analysis using ''t tests-Means:
      Difference between two independent means (two groups) '' statistic, with α= 0.05 error level
      and 95% power. its size; 51 couples in the intervention group and 51 couples in the control
      group, a total of at least 102 couples . Since the dropout rate in the reference study was
      20%, in accordance with this rate, it was planned to carry out the study with a total of 120
      couples by adding a total of 18 couples, 9 couples to each group.Random Allocation Software
      program was used for the randomization of the groups.

      Evaluation of Data: Research data will be evaluated in computer environment with appropriate
      statistical methods. IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0 program was used for statistical analysis and
      calculations. Statistical significance level was accepted as p<0.05. The conformity of the
      numerical variables to the normal distribution was evaluated with the Shapiro-Wilk test. The
      difference between the two independent groups was assessed t test and the Mann-Whitney U test
      . The relationship between two independent categorical variables was assessed via chi-square
      analysis
