Brief summary
This study is planned to be carried out in a pre-test-post-test (first and fourth months) 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 pre-test-post-test- (first and fourth months), 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 the web-based group, 25 in the face-to-face group, and 25 in the control group).
Interventions
OTHERNewborn Basic Care Training
Participating fathers will receive both face-to-face practical training and web-based educational interventions. 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.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Fathers' Self-Efficacy Scale for Newborn Care | Change from within the first 24 hours of postpartum, after Newborn basic care training is completed (first month and fourth months) after Newborn basic care training is completed | 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. |
| Postnatal Paternal-Infant Attachment Scale | Change from within the first 24 hours of postpartum, after Newborn basic care training is completed (first month and fourth months) after Newborn basic care training is completed | The Postnatal Paternal-infant attachment scale is a scale developed by Condon et al. (2008) to evaluate postnatal 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. |
