In this context, the WHO's Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding recommends the implementation of "lay health worker peer counselors" and "mother-to-mother support groups" to promote and support breastfeeding. The tenth step of the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative also emphasizes the importance of mother-to-mother support as a successful intervention for breastfeeding. However, in our country, there have been limited studies and efforts to provide peer education and support for breastfeeding. Although various valuable studies using different educational techniques have been conducted to improve breastfeeding rates, the integration of these programs into routine clinical practice remains insufficient. This study aims to implement a peer interactive education program in postpartum rooms to bring experienced and inexperienced mothers together, as part of the hospital routine. The project will focus on the development and implementation of a peer interactive education program and will investigate its impact on the breastfeeding self-efficacy of primiparous mothers. The research follows a two-group pre-test and post-test design, is non-blind, and uses randomized controlled methodology. Initially, the hospital rooms will be rearranged to accommodate the implementation of the peer support breastfeeding education module. Researcher midwives will provide a brief training to experienced peer educator mothers who have previously breastfed.Afterwards, the peer education program will be conducted when the experienced mother and primiparous mother are together in the room. The study emphasizes improving early postpartum breastfeeding success and aims to make peer interaction a routine part of hospital practice. The feasibility of implementing peer education in hospitals will be evaluated, considering its simplicity and practicality. The impact of peer interactions on the mother's breastfeeding self-efficacy and attitudes towards breastfeeding will be assessed.Overall, this research aims to improve breastfeeding rates by implementing peer support programs in hospital settings and evaluating the outcomes of peer interactions in terms of the mother's breastfeeding self-efficacy and attitudes towards breastfeeding., conditionsModule conditions: Mothers, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, primaryPurpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE, maskingInfo masking: SINGLE, maskingDescription: In order to eliminate selection bias in the study, "block randomisation" method, one of the fixed probability randomisation methods, will be used and women who meet the inclusion criteria will be distributed to the intervention and control groups., whoMasked: INVESTIGATOR, enrollmentInfo count: 128, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Peer interaction/control, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: breastfeeding self-efficacy, primaryOutcomes measure: exclusive breastfeeding rate, eligibilityModule sex: FEMALE, minimumAge: 18 Years, maximumAge: 49 Years, stdAges: ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Ege University, status: RECRUITING, city: Izmir, zip: 35100, country: Turkey, contacts name: Ayşe Akyar, Midwife, role: CONTACT, phone: +905538507280, email: akyarayse_02@hotmail.com;, geoPoint lat: 38.41273, lon: 27.13838, hasResults: False
