About this trial
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Resources Development Nurse Consultancy Program (EMÖZGEDAP), based on Dennis's Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Theory along with the hypno-breastfeeding philosophy given to mothers and family relatives, on social support perception, breastfeeding self-efficacy and outcomes. The study will involve pregnant women and close others assigned randomly to the intervention (n=50) or control (n=50) groups in a state hospital in Turkey. Individual counseling will be provided to the intervention group within the scope of the EMÖZGEDAP, based on Denis's Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy theory and hypnobreastfeeding philosophy. EMÖZGEDAP, which will be applied to pregnant women and their family relatives, will consist of 5 sessions lasting 7.5 hours (2 sessions with the woman and her family relatives, two sessions with the woman alone, and one with her family relatives alone). The Antenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale will be evaluated before the counseling program is given in the antepartum period. Breastfeeding and Nutrition Results, Postpartum Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale for Fathers, Assessment Scale for Perceived Support of Close Others in Relation to Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy and Scale of Perception of Close Others' Support For Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy will be evaluated at the 1st, 3rd, and 6th months postpartum.

Treatments tested in this trial
Nurse Consultancy Program to Develop Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Resources
BehavioralBreastfeeding Self-Efficacy Resources Developing Nurse Consultancy Program (EMÖZGEDAP) was developed based on Denis's Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy theory along with the hypnobreastfeeding philosophy. In the individual counseling program focusing on the philosophy of hypnobreastfeeding, it will be emphasized that breastfeeding is an intuitive, natural, and unique process. Techniques such as affirmations, breathing exercises, relaxation, endorphin, serotonin, and oxytocin-enhancing practices will be used. Concepts from Dennis' breastfeeding self-efficacy theory will be integrated into the training program. The individual counseling program will be carried out by adult education criteria, methods such as slide presentation, three-dimensional models, video, role-play, peer opinions with positive breastfeeding experiences, case discussion, and question and answer will be used.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Breastfeeding and Nutrition Results
This form was prepared based on Labbok \& Krosovec's classification (Labbok \& Krasovec, 1990). It enables the evaluation of the characteristics of the baby's breastfeeding or feeding as complete, partial, and symbolic breastfeeding.
Time frame
This form will be evaluated at the 1st, 3rd, and 6th months postpartum.2
Antenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form
The Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale was developed by Dennis in 2003. Aluş Tokat, Okumus, and Dennis (2010) started to study the Turkish reliability standard of the Short Form of the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale. It is used to evaluate how competent pregnant women feel about breastfeeding. The scale, consisting of 14 items, is assessed on a 5-point Likert type. There are no reverse-scored items in the scale. A minimum of 14 points and a maximum of 70 points are obtained from the scale. A high score on the scale means that breastfeeding self-efficacy is also high (Dennis and Faux, 1999).
Time frame
This form will be administered to pregnant women at 28 weeks of gestation before the intervention.3
Postpartum Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form
Dennis developed the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale. Aluş Tokat, Okumus, and Dennis (2010) started to study the Turkish reliability standard of the Short Form of the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale. It is used to evaluate how competent postpartum mothers feel about breastfeeding postpartum. The scale, consisting of 14 items, is assessed on a 5-point Likert type. There are no reverse-scored items in the scale. A minimum of 14 points and a maximum of 70 points are obtained from the scale. A high score on the scale means that breastfeeding self-efficacy is also high (Dennis and Faux, 1999).
Time frame
This form will be evaluated at the 1st, 3rd, and 6th months postpartum.4
Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale for Fathers Short Form
It was developed by Dennis, Brennenstuhl, and Abbass-Dick (2018) to evaluate fathers' perspectives and impact on breastfeeding. Its Turkish validity and reliability were tested by Küçükoğlu, Kurt Sezer, and Dennis in 2019. The scale, which can be applied to all fathers with newborns and breastfed babies, is a 5-point scale with no reverse-scored items. The lowest score is 14, and the highest score is 70 from the one-dimensional 14-item scale, and as the score increases, self-efficacy increases.
Time frame
This form will be evaluated at the 1st, 3rd, and 6th months postpartum.Sponsors and contacts
