Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Breastfeeding Education: This study is planned as a randomized controlled trial. In the pre-test-post-test control group design, participants are randomly assigned to two groups through a randomization process. These groups are referred to as the experimental group and the control group. While the experimental group receives the intervention (education), no intervention is provided to the control group.

Study summary

This study is planned as a randomized controlled trial with a pre-test-post-test control group design. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: an experimental group and a control group. An intervention (education) will be applied to the experimental group, while no intervention will be provided to the control group (Erdoğan, Nahcıvan, \& Esin, 2020).

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Breastfeeding Health Literacy Scale for Pregnant Women — One year after enrollment.
  This scale was developed in Turkish by Özkan and colleagues in 2024. The scale consists of four sub-dimensions and 25 items. The sub-dimensions of the scale are defined as "Breastfeeding Knowledge (items 1-7)," "Access to Breastfeeding Information (items 8-15)," "Evaluation of Breastfeeding Information (items 16-21)," and "Maintaining Breastfeeding (items 22-25)." The scale is a five-point Likert-type scale (1 = "strongly disagree," 2 = "disagree," 3 = "undecided," 4 = "agree," 5 = "strongly agree"). There are no reverse-scored items in the scale. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients of the Breastfeeding Health Literacy Scale for Pregnant Women were found to be 0.95 for the breastfeeding knowledge dimension, 0.92 for access to breastfeeding information, 0.88 for evaluation of breastfeeding information, 0.92 for maintaining breastfeeding, and 0.96 for the total scale. Based on these values, the internal consistency of t
