Brief summary
This study aims to determine the effects of Oketani breast massage on breastfeeding success, breastfeeding self-efficacy and satisfaction of primiparous mothers.
Detailed description
Breastfeeding is the most important factor in infant nutrition. Breast milk is a nutritional source that contains the necessary nutrients for the healthy growth of infants after birth and has many benefits in terms of growth and development. However, although the rate of breastfeeding has increased today compared to the past, it is still not at the desired level. In order to increase breastfeeding rates, breastfeeding trainings and massage should be given starting from the prenatal period. It is important for health professionals to provide training and consultancy to women in order to manage the breastfeeding process correctly, which is important for the health of both the mother and the baby. In this direction, as a result of this study, it is thought that correct breastfeeding behavior and self-sufficiency will be developed in mothers by using the oketani breast massage method. No study has been found in our country where this method is used. In this respect, the study is original. As a result of the study, it is thought that the use of oketani breast massage by health professionals while providing breastfeeding education and consultancy will facilitate the breastfeeding process.

The Oketani Method is based upon practical breastfeeding theory, but is original in its practice. Oketani breast massage improves breastmilk secretion, can prevent and treat problems such as mastitis. In addition, the massage is painless, allowing your body to relax and breathe, something very much appreciated by mothers. The Oketani breast massage consists of massaging and milking the base of the breasts. These delicate glands are massaged as well as protected.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Antenatal and Pospartum Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form | 1. week, 2. week and after labor 1. day | The first form of the scale developed by Dennis and Faux was designed as 33 items, but after a second study, Dennis revised the scale and created a 14-item short form. The Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted by Aluş Tokat et al. in 2017. The scale can be administered in prenatal and postnatal periods and measures how competent women feel about breastfeeding. The items of the five-point Likert-type scale are scored as not at all sure (1), not very sure (2), sometimes sure (3), sure (4), very sure (5). The lowest score that can be obtained from all the evaluation scores of the scale is 14 and the highest score is 70. A low total score on the scale indicates a low perception of breastfeeding self-efficacy. In the original scale, the Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of the prenatal form was 0.87 and the Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of the postnatal form was 0.86. |

| Visual Assessment Scale - Satisfaction (VAS - S) | After labor 1. day | The VAS is also used to measure other components besides pain, such as satisfaction.In our study, the VAS will also be used to assess mothers' breastfeeding satisfaction levels. The Visual Assessment Scale - Satisfaction (VAS-S) is a 10 cm ruler with the expression Not satisfied on one end and Very satisfied on the other end. The mother is asked to rate her satisfaction with breastfeeding after the training from 1 to 10. High scores on the scale indicate that the satisfaction of the recipients is also high |
