Brief summary
The present study was conducted to determine the effects of online video-assisted breastfeeding education on breastfeeding self-efficacy in primiparous pregnant women.
Detailed description
This two-group parallel randomized controlled study was conducted with pregnant women admitted to the pregnancy follow-up outpatient clinics of a university hospital in northern Turkey. The study was completed with 80 pregnant women in their second trimester, 40 pregnant women each in the intervention and control groups. Pregnant women in the intervention group received online video-assisted education which demonstrated first meeting of the mother-baby and first breastfeeding in addition to receiving counselling on breastfeeding. Pregnant women in the control group did not receive any intervention other than routine care. Data were collected face-to-face with the breastfeeding self-efficacy scale at the beginning of the study and two weeks later. In data analysis, chi-square test was used for categorical variables, independent sample t-test was used for continuous variables and intergroup comparison, and paired sample t-test was used for intragroup comparison.

| Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (PBSES) | 5 Minutes | The scale was developed by Wells et al. (2006) to determine the breastfeeding self-efficacy perceptions of pregnant women in the prenatal period.(27) Turkish validity and reliability of the scale was conducted by Aydın and Pasinlioğlu (2016). The scale consists of a total of 20 items. Each item of the scale is a 5-point Likert scale ranging between 1=Not at all sure - 5= Completely sure. Minimum 20 and maximum 100 points can be obtained from the scale. Higher score indicates breastfeeding self-efficacy perception. Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was reported to be 0.86.(28) Cronbach's alpha value was found to be 0.96 in this study. |
