Breastfeeding Support Program
In my thesis, the multi-component breastfeeding support program was applied to address a gap in the literature. Altay and Sarıalioğlu (2024, Breastfeeding Medicine, 19(12):947-956) showed that baby soothing training for primiparous mothers significantly improved maternal role perception, attachment, and breastfeeding self-efficacy (p\<0.001). However, experimental studies simultaneously evaluating breastfeeding education, psychosocial support, video, message, telephone follow-ups, and individualized counseling are limited. Therefore, my study provides strong causal evidence using an experimental design. The sample size (n=100) is larger than many existing studies, and the study uniquely combines three measures: self-efficacy, bonding, and LATCH.
