The The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of online counseling on self-efficacy and continuation of breastfeeding among primiparous women in Turkey.
Data were collected using a questionnaire designed by the researchers. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 94 primiparous women. The intervention group received four individual online breastfeeding counseling sessions at months 1, 2, 4, and 6. No interventions were provided in the control group. At the seventh month postpartum, breastfeeding status and breastfeeding self-efficacy were assessed in both the intervention and control groups.
Sociodemographic characteristics at baseline were similar in both groups. Breastfeeding continuation and self-efficacy were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group after online counseling (p<0.05). But self-efficacy was also increased in the control group (p<0.05). Twelve participants who started complementary feeding early reported that their milk supply was inadequate.
Online counseling had a significant effect on breastfeeding continuation and self-efficacy. However, it may be important to provide counseling considering the reasons for starting complementary feeding.

Doğum Sonu Dönemde Verilen Online Emzirme Danışmanlığının Emzirme Davranışı Üzerine Etkisi

Öz

Bu çalışma, doğum sonrası dönemde online emzirme danışmanlığının emzirme öz yeterliliği ve ek gıdaya başlama zamanı üzerine etkisini incelemek amacıyla planlanmıştır.
Veriler araştırmacılar tarafından tasarlanan bir anket kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Randomize kontrollü bir çalışma 94 primipar kadın ile yürütülmüştür. Deney grubu 1, 2, 4 ve 6. Aylarda bireysel çevrimiçi emzirme danışmanlığı seansı almıştır. Kontrol grubuna herhangi bir müdahalede bulunulmamıştır. Doğum sonrası yedinci ayda, hem deney hem de kontrol gruplarında emzirme durumu ve emzirme öz yeterliliği değerlendirilmiştir.
Başlangıçtaki sosyodemografik özellikler her iki grupta da benzerdi. Online danışmanlık sonrasında deney grubunda emzirmeye devam etme ve öz yeterlilik kontrol grubuna kıyasla anlamlı derecede yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Ancak kontrol grubunda da öz yeterlilik artmıştır (p<0.05). Ek gıdaya erken başlayan on iki katılımcı sütünün yetersiz olduğunu bildirmiştir.
Çevrimiçi danışmanlığın emzirmeye devam etme ve öz yeterlilik üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi olmuştur. Bununla birlikte, ek gıdaya başlama nedenleri göz önünde bulundurularak danışmanlık verilmesi önemli olabilir.
