Summary

The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to evaluate the effect of video-based breastfeeding education on infant feeding attitudes among primiparous mothers who delivered by cesarean section or vaginal birth. Breastfeeding education may improve mothers' knowledge and attitudes, thereby supporting optimal infant feeding practices.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

Does video-based breastfeeding education improve infant feeding attitudes among primiparous mothers who deliver by vaginal birth? Does video-based breastfeeding education improve infant feeding attitudes among primiparous mothers who deliver by cesarean section? Is there a difference in infant feeding attitudes between mothers who receive video-based breastfeeding education and those who receive routine postpartum care? Does the effect of video-based breastfeeding education differ between mothers who deliver by cesarean section and those who deliver by vaginal birth?

Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: a cesarean section intervention group, a vaginal birth intervention group, or a control group. Mothers in the intervention groups received video-based breastfeeding education through a QR code in addition to routine postpartum care, while the control group received routine postpartum care only. Infant feeding attitudes were assessed at baseline and again three months after delivery using the Turkish version of the Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS).

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Video-Based Breastfeeding Education

The intervention consisted of a standardized video-based breastfeeding education program developed by the researcher based on current evidence and international breastfeeding guidelines. The educational content was reviewed by experts using the Written Materials Suitability Assessment Form and subsequently converted into a two-dimensional animated educational video with technical support from a graphic designer and a software developer. The quality and reliability of the video were evaluated using the DISCERN instrument, and its comprehensibility was assessed in a pilot study involving five mothers before implementation. The final educational video was approximately 9 minutes in duration and was delivered to participants through a QR code linking to a YouTube video. Mothers in the intervention groups viewed the video in addition to receiving routine postpartum care.
