Summary

This randomized controlled study aims to examine the effect of individualized hybrid breastfeeding education provided during late pregnancy on antenatal attachment and breastfeeding behaviors among first-time mothers. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. Women in the intervention group will receive individualized hybrid breastfeeding education beginning at the 36th week of pregnancy. The program includes a face-to-face individual breastfeeding education session at 36 weeks of pregnancy and a reinforcement and practice session at 38 weeks. Participants will also have access to personalized digital educational materials, short educational videos, and online consultation support. In the postpartum period, participants will receive an online support session during the first week after birth and a follow-up session through online communication or telephone at the sixth postpartum week. The control group will receive routine hospital education during pregnancy. After completion of the study, the same educational materials will be provided to the control group in accordance with ethical principles. Data will be collected using the Demographic Information Form, Breastfeeding Behavior Evaluation Form, Antenatal Attachment Inventory, and Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants prior to enrollment.
