Condition: Breastfeeding
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      Objective: This study will be conducted as a pre-test post-test randomized controlled study
      in order to determine the effect of postpartum breastfeeding education given to women who had
      normal vaginal delivery and cesarean section on breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding
      success.

      Materials and Methods: The data of the study were collected with "Descriptive Information
      Form, Breastfeeding Knowledge Level Diagnosis Form, LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnosis and
      Evaluation Scale and Postpartum Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale". SPSS 25.0 (Statistical
      Package for Social Science) program will be used in the analysis of the data.

      Design: Randomized controlled.

      The study included 76 women who had normal vaginal and cesarean delivery and met the

Detailed description: 
      Breast milk is a newborn-specific food that varies according to the baby's needs, body weight
      and the density that the baby can digest. Breastfeeding, on the other hand, is the most
      natural action that allows mother's milk to meet with the newborn. In addition to providing
      benefits for the growth and development of the baby, it contributes significantly to the
      maintenance of general health in advanced ages, the improvement of health and the reduction
      of the effect of risk factors affecting health. The concept of breastfeeding self-efficacy is
      the mother's perception of breastfeeding. Self-efficacy perception about breastfeeding
      determines the behavior of mothers to continue breastfeeding, whether they can cope with
      breastfeeding problems, their thoughts and attitudes about breastfeeding. Mother's age,
      education level, baby's weight and mother's number of births are concepts that can affect
      breastfeeding self-efficacy perception. Although there are many studies on breastfeeding in
      the literature, a limited number of studies have been found that determine the effect of the
      early results of postpartum breastfeeding education on breastfeeding self-efficacy and
      breastfeeding success.

      This study aims to determine the effect of postpartum breastfeeding education given to women
      who had normal vaginal and cesarean delivery on breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding
      success.

      The objectives of the research;

        -  To determine the effect of postpartum breastfeeding education given to women with normal
           vaginal delivery on breastfeeding self-efficacy.

        -  To determine the effect of postpartum breastfeeding education given to women who had
           cesarean section on breastfeeding self-efficacy.

        -  To determine the effect of postpartum breastfeeding education given to women who had
           normal vaginal delivery on breastfeeding success.

        -  To determine the effect of postpartum breastfeeding education given to women who had
           cesarean section on breastfeeding success.
