Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale | The breastfeeding experience with virtual reality glasses lasted 5 minutes. The intervention was repeated a second time a week later over a 5-minute period. After two weeks of intervention, the last Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale test was applied. | The Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale was developed by Wells and colleagues in 2006. The validity and reliability study of the scale in Turkish was conducted by Aydın and Pasinlioğlu in 2018. The scale consists of 20 items and is 5-point likert type. The lowest score to be taken from the scale is 20 and the highest score is 100. An increase in the score obtained from the scale indicates an increase in the perception of breastfeeding self-efficacy. The Cronbach Alpha value of the scale is 0.85. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Primipar Breastfeeding Motivation Scale | The scale was completed up to two months after delivery. | The adaptation of the Breastfeeding Motivation Scale developed by Kestler-Peleg (2015) to Turkish was carried out by Mızrak and Özerdogan in 2017. The scale for primiparous mothers consists of 23 items. Items are scored as 1, 2, 3, 4. The total score is not taken from the scale. As the score obtained from the sub-dimension of the scale increases, the motivation representing that sub-dimension also increases. The Cronbach alpha value of the scale is 0.887. |
