Interventions

  • Video-Assisted Breastfeeding Education — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants will receive a structured video-assisted breastfeeding education program in addition to routine antenatal and postnatal care. The intervention consists of three educational video modules developed based on current evidence and expert opinion. The modules cover breastfeeding fundamentals, breastfeeding motivation, and common breastfeeding myths. Videos will be delivered weekly via WhatsApp during late pregnancy. Participants will be able to watch the videos repeatedly at their convenience. After each module, researchers will contact participants via telephone or WhatsApp to obtain feedback and answer questions.

Study Details

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a video-assisted breastfeeding education program for primiparous pregnant women. The intervention is designed to improve breastfeeding motivation, reduce breastfeeding myths, and decrease state anxiety related to breastfeeding. Pregnant women receiving antenatal care at Family Health Centers in Iğdır Province will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. Participants in the intervention group will receive structured video-based breastfeeding education in addition to routine care, while the control group will receive routine antenatal and postnatal breastfeeding education only. The findings of this study are expected to provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of technology-supported breastfeeding education in promoting positive breastfeeding-related outcomes among first-time mothers.

Videos will be delivered weekly via WhatsApp during late pregnancy. Participants may watch the videos as often as needed and will receive follow-up through telephone or WhatsApp after each module to address questions and obtain feedback. Outcome assessments will be conducted at baseline during pregnancy and at 8 weeks postpartum.
  • No Intervention: Control Arm
