About this trial

Breastfeeding is the gold standard in infant nutrition in the first 12 months of life (1). Breastfeeding self-efficacy perception is one of the most important factors affecting mothers\' breastfeeding duration and success in the postpartum period (2,3).Although AI has traditionally been the domain of powerful mainframes and data centers, new approaches have the capacity to put the power of AI directly into the hands of patients (4).Therefore, considering the importance of breastfeeding education and counseling, this study will determine the effect of training and use of a mobile application-supported artificial intelligence tool and nurse-led online breastfeeding counseling on mothers; breastfeeding self-efficacy perception, breastfeeding success, infant feeding attitude and postpartum depression levels. Thus, the effectiveness of the artificial intelligence tool and nurse-led breastfeeding counseling will be compared.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • 1) Artificial intelligence supported working group

    Other intervention

    Pregnant women will be a personal information form, breastfeeding diagnosis and evaluation scale, postnatal breastfeeding self-efficacy scale, Lowa infant nutrition attitude scale and Edinburgh postpartum depression scale. Pregnant women in the artificial intelligence-supported study group were aged 32-37. Starting from the first week of pregnancy, a mobile breastfeeding consultancy application supported by IOS and Android will be installed on smart phones. Pregnant women will be expected to use this application actively until birth and submit their questions about breastfeeding to this artificial intelligence-supported mobile application and receive instant answers. After these applications, the breastfeeding diagnosis and evaluation scale, postnatal breastfeeding self-efficacy scale, Lowa baby nutrition attitude scale and Edinburgh postpartum depression scale will be applied again to pregnant women on the first postpartum day, sixth day, third week and third month.

  • Online breastfeeding counseling group led by a nurse

    Other intervention

    The forms that will be applied to pregnant women in all three groups at the first meeting will also be applied to this group. 32-37 in the nurse-led online breastfeeding counseling group. Primiparous pregnant women at the gestational age will be offered 1.5 hours of breastfeeding counseling by one of the researchers, between the 32nd and 37th weeks of pregnancy, with the participation of small groups of five pregnant women in each interactive session. Pregnant women in this group will receive only one session of breastfeeding training. These trainings, which will be given by the nurse, will be carried out online via video call via WhatsApp application. After these applications, the breastfeeding diagnosis and evaluation scale, postnatal breastfeeding self-efficacy scale, Lowa baby nutrition attitude scale and Edinburgh postpartum depression scale will be applied again to pregnant women on the first postpartum day, sixth day, third week and third month.
