The Effect of Podcast Education on Postpartum Depression, Maternal Attachment, and Self-Care Agency in the Early Postpartum Period: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Sponsor: Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi
Summary
The population of the study, planned as a randomized controlled experimental design, consists of primiparous women who gave birth in the delivery unit of Istanbul Esenler Women's Health and Pediatric Diseases Hospital. The sample of the study will be composed of 110 postpartum women who meet the sampling criteria, are willing to participate, and are determined by power analysis. The study includes two groups: the "intervention group (n=55)," who will receive discharge education through podcasts in the early postpartum period, and the "control group (n=55)," who will receive routine discharge education. Women in the intervention group will listen to four podcasts, each lasting 5-6 minutes, about discharge education during the early postpartum period. Before the data collection forms are applied, participants will be asked to complete an "Informed Consent Form." All groups will be evaluated with the "Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale," the "Maternal Attachment Scale," and the "Self-Care Agency Scale" both before and after the intervention. The discussion and conclusions of the study will be written based on the results obtained.
