Conditions studied: Self Efficacy, Breast Feeding, Attachment

In brief

The research was planned to develop the "My Breastfeeding Guide" mobile nursing application, which was developed based on Dennis' Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Theory and Pender's Health Promotion Model, and to determine its effect on the postpartum breastfeeding process, breastfeeding self-efficacy, infant feeding and attachment. The research is in randomized controlled experimental and longitudinal (prospective) design. The research will be carried out with pregnant women who applied to Famagusta State Hospital Obstetrics and Gynecology Polyclinic and a pregnant polyclinic of a private hospital in Famagusta. Pregnant women who applied to Famagusta State Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Polyclinic and private hospital's pregnancy polyclinic and met the inclusion criteria of the study will constitute the population of the research. The research will be designed in two groups as the mobile nursing practice group (intervention) and standard care group (control) developed based on Dennis's Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Theory and Pender's Health Promotion Model. By calculating the sample size in the research, 44 people in the intervention group and 44 people in the control group will reach a total of 88 people. Pregnant Identification Form, Maternal Information Form, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Short Form Scale (Postnatal Form), Antenatal Self-Efficacy Short Form Scale, Infant Nutrition Attitude Scale, Breastfeeding Rating Scale, Maternal Attachment Scale and Breastfeeding Self-assessment Form will be used to collect data.

While evaluating the research data, frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, median, variance analysis from descriptive statistical methods will be used. For homogeneity test between intervention and control groups, the Chi-square test for categorical variables, Mann Whitney test for numerical variables, and sociodemographic variables (age, education status, employment status of himself and his spouse, income level, etc.) and whether the groups are similar in terms of some characteristics. U test will be used. The conformity of the scale scores to the normal distribution will be evaluated with the Shapiro-Wilk test.
