Newborn Basic Care Training on Fathers' Self-Efficacy and Father-Baby Attachment

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study is planned to be carried out in a pre-test-post-test randomized controlled experimental design with the aim of determining the Effect of Newborn Basic Care Training Given to Fathers with Different Methods on Fathers' Self-Efficacy and Father-Infant Attachment. In addition, the training provided aims to prevent malpractices in newborn care and to reduce neonatal morbidity and mortality rates and gender-based inequalities.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This study will be conducted in a prospective (pretest-posttest-6. Months fallow test), three-arm (1:1:1), randomized controlled experimental design.The sample size of the study was calculated based on a 3-group study on father-infant attachment. Thus, it was planned to conduct research with 75 fathers in total, 25 fathers in each group.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Web-based Group<br>The father's phone will be stolen and the father will record the researcher's phone number. After this stage, the researcher will apply a pre-test, make the father a member of the website and show the first video about basic newborn care to the father via his phone. The first access to the website will be made under the guidance of the researcher. For membership, individuals must have an internet connection and know how to use a phone. Even though the fathers made their first viewing before being discharged from the hospital, the web page will be open for 1 month and they will be able to watch the video they want whenever they want. Individuals who visit the page and agree to participate in the study will be given a posttest at the end of the 1st month and at the end of the 6th month. | Other: Newborn Basic Care Training<br>* These talented fathers will be given both face-to-face practical training and the industrial web-based training type of information technologies will be used. In this way, the positive developments provided by the two trainings will be abandoned and the understandability and usefulness of the training from the people's perspective will be increased. A website suitable for mobile phones will be designed by transferring digital materials. With this website, fathers will be able to access information about basic care via phone whenever and wherever they want. Thus, in a short time, without human resources and time, all the fathers in need throughout the country will reach the capacity to obtain appropriate information.<br>|
| Experimental: Face-to-face Group<br>The father's phone will be stolen and the father will record the researcher's phone number. Then, before his wife is discharged from the hospital, the father will be interviewed and an appointment will be made to meet at the clinic at a convenient time. During this appointment, the researcher will apply a pre-test and explain information about basic newborn care (hygiene, safety and nutrition) face-to-face and in practice. In addition, brochures about baby care will be provided to fathers that they can use at any time. After this process, the final test will be applied at the end of the 1st month and at the end of the 6th month. | Other: Newborn Basic Care Training<br>* These talented fathers will be given both face-to-face practical training and the industrial web-based training type of information technologies will be used.

| No Intervention: Control Group<br>The father's phone will be stolen and the father will record the researcher's phone number. After this stage, the researcher will perform a pre-test before the mother is discharged and will not have her perform any newborn care procedures. Fathers in the control group will continue to receive routine care. In Turkey, information about the basic care of the newborn is given only verbally by neonatal midwives and nurses before discharge. After these procedures, a final test will be applied to this group at the end of the 1st month and at the end of the 6th month. | |

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Fathers' Self-Efficacy Scale for Newborn Care | This scale, developed by researchers, consists of 3 sub-dimensions (Hygiene, Safety and Nutrition). The hygiene sub-dimension consists of 10 items, the security sub-dimension consists of 4 items, and the nutrition sub-dimension consists of 3 items, making a total of 17 items. Each item of the scale is scored from 1 to 5, and the lowest score obtained from the scale is 17 and the highest score is 85. A high score means that the father's self-efficacy in basic newborn care is high. | Change from within the first 24 hours of postpartum, after Newborn basic care training is completed (4th weeks), and six months after Newborn basic care training is completed | 
| Paternal-Infant Attachment Scale | The Paternal-infant attachment scale is a scale developed by Condon et al. (2008) to evaluate paternal-infant attachment after birth (Condon et al., 2008). This scale was adapted to Turkish society by Güleç and Kavlak (2013) and its validity and reliability were tested. The scale consists of 3 sub-dimensions and 19 items. Each item of the scale is scored from 1 to 5, and the lowest score obtained from the scale is 19 and the highest score is 95. A high score means that attachment is high. | Change from within the first 24 hours of postpartum, after Newborn basic care training is completed (4th weeks), and six months after Newborn basic care training is completed |
