The Effect Of Biological Nurturing Education Given to Pregnancy on Breastfeeding Status: A Randomized Controlled Study Protocol

Öz

The initiation and continuity of breastfeeding in the earliest postnatal period, exclusive breastfeeding during the first 6 months of life, and continued breastfeeding with complementary feeding up to at least the first year are recommended by international authorities. This study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental trial to determine the impact of providing biological breastfeeding education to expectant mothers on their breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding success. To achieve this goal, 153 pregnant women attending the antenatal clinic of a hospital in Istanbul between July and December 2023 will be included in the research. The participants will be randomly allocated into three groups (Group 1: biological breastfeeding, Group 2: conventional breastfeeding, Group 3: control), with each group consisting of 51 pregnant women. Group 1 will receive biological breastfeeding education, Group 2 will receive conventional breastfeeding education, and Group 3 will receive routine care. The outcomes of the educational intervention will be assessed and interpreted based on breastfeeding self-efficacy (Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale) and breastfeeding success (LATCH Breastfeeding Assessment Tool). It is anticipated that biological breastfeeding may prove to be effective and serve as a means to increase breastfeeding rates. Consequently, promoting the growth of healthy individuals will have a positive impact on public health and serve as a tool for reducing healthcare expenses. Furthermore, this project will contribute to expanding the limited literature on biological breastfeeding, generating evidence, and fostering the development of expert scientists in this field.

Gebelere Verilen Biyolojik Besleme Eğitiminin Emzirme Durumuna Etkisi: Randomize Kontrollü Çalışma Protokolü

Öz

Doğum sonu en erken dönemde emzirmenin başlatılarak sürekliliğinin sağlanması; yaşamın ilk 6 ayında yalnızca anne sütü; en az ilk 1 yılında ise ek gıdayla birlikte anne sütü uluslararası otoriterler tarafından önerilmektedir. Bu çalışma gebelere verilen biyolojik besleme eğitiminin annelerin emzirme öz yeterliliği ve emzirme başarıları üzerindeki etkisini belirlemek için randomize kontrollü deneysel çalışma olarak planlandı. Bu amaçla İstanbul’da bir hastanenin gebe polikliniğine, Temmuz-Aralık 2023 tarihleri arasında başvuran 153 gebe araştırma kapsamına alınacaktır. Gebeler randomizasyon ile üç gruba ayrılarak (grup 1-biyolojik besleme, grup 2-klasik emzirme, grup 3-kontrol) her bir gruba 51 gebe alınacaktır. Grup 1’e biyolojik besleme eğitimi yapılırken, grup 2’ye klasik emzirme eğitimi verilecek, grup 3 ise rutin bakım alacaktır. Yapılan eğitim girişiminin sonuçları emzirme öz-yeterliliği (Prenatal Emzirme Öz-yeterlilik Ölçeği, Emzirme Öz-yeterlilik Ölçeği) ve emzirme başarısı (LATCH Emzirme Tanılama Ölçeği) belirlenerek yorumlanacaktır. Bu araştırma sonucunda biyolojik beslemenin etkili olduğu ve emzirme oranlarının arttırılmasında bir araç olabileceği öngörülmektedir. Böylece sağlıklı bireyler yetişecek ve bu durum toplum sağlığına yansıyacak ve sağlık giderlerinin azaltılmasında bir araç olacaktır. Ayrıca bu proje, biyolojik beslemeye ilişkin sınırlı literatürün arttırılmasına ve kanıtların oluşturulmasına, bu konuda uzman bilim insanlarının yetişmesine olanak sağlayacaktır.
