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.

Video-Assisted Breastfeeding Education
BehavioralParticipants 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.
Breastfeeding Motivation
Breastfeeding motivation will be assessed using the Breastfeeding Motivation Scale to evaluate the effect of the video-assisted breastfeeding education program among primiparous women. The Breastfeeding Motivation Scale consists of 23 items and five subscales. Each item is rated on a 4-point Likert scale (1-4). The scale does not provide a total score; each subscale is evaluated separately. Higher subscale scores indicate higher breastfeeding motivation in the corresponding dimension.
