Summary

Pregnant women followed at the Tece Family Health Center were contacted via telephone and informed about the study. Pregnant women who expressed interest in participating were assessed according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria using the "Eligibility Assessment Form" prepared by the researcher. Those who met the research criteria were randomly assigned to either the intervention or the control group.

Before starting the Mindfulness-Based Breastfeeding Education, all participants in both groups were asked to complete the Informed Consent Form, the Pregnant Women's Descriptive Characteristics Form, and the Antenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale.

The Mindfulness-Based Breastfeeding Education was delivered to the pregnant women in the intervention group by the researcher, both face-to-face and online, on predetermined days and times. The training was supported with visual presentations, videos, and models prepared by the researcher to make the content more memorable and easier to understand. After the final session of the six-week training program, the participants completed the Antenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale. Mothers were asked to inform the researcher when they gave birth. In the 1st and 8th weeks postpartum, the following were administered: Postpartum Mother-Infant Descriptive Form, Postnatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale, Bristol Breastfeeding Assessment Tool, and Mindful Breastfeeding Scale.

No intervention was applied to the pregnant women in the control group. Six weeks after the first administration of the Antenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale, the same scale was administered again. Mothers were asked to notify the researcher when they gave birth. In the 1st and 8th weeks postpartum, the following forms and scales were administered: Postpartum Mother-Infant Descriptive Form, Postnatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale, Bristol Breastfeeding Assessment Tool, and Mindful Breastfeeding Scale.

In order to eliminate any potential ethical concerns related to the control group, breastfeeding education was provided to the mothers in the control group after the data collection process had been completed.
