Microbiota Awareness and Nutrition Education Given to Mothers With Motivational Interview

The Effect of Motivational Interview, Prepared According to the Health Behavior Interaction Model, on Microbiota Awareness and Attitudes on Infant Nutrition in Primiparous Mothers Who Start Complementary Nutrition: A Randomized Controlled Study

Complementary nutrition is considered a critical step not only for changes in nutritional requirements but also for the formation of life-long taste preferences, nutrition and eating habits that may affect health in the long run. While the microbiota is developing, in the early stages of life, the wrong food choice negatively affects the microbiota development and causes malnutrition. In this study, the effect of motivational interviews prepared according to the Health Behavior Interaction Model on microbiota awareness and infant feeding attitude will be investigated in primiparous mothers who will start complementary feeding.

In first meeting; before starting motivational interview, mothers were interviewed face-to-face with the Baby, Mother Introductory Information Form, Mothers', Babies' Food Consumption Frequency Registration Form, Microbiota Awareness Scale (MFI), Infant Nutrition Attitude Scale (LOWA), Behavior Change Stage Diagnostic Form, Motivational Interview rating the schedule will be applied. At the end of this meeting, which lasts for 45-50 minutes, next meeting date will be determined, the meeting will be terminated. Second interview is planned to last 60-90 minutes.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Microbiota awareness scale	-Microbiota awareness scale total score (The score range of the scale was defined as the lowest 18 points and the highest 100 points. The cut-off score was not specified in the scale. The high score obtained from the scale was evaluated as a high level of microbiota awareness. The draft form of the scale was developed as a five-point Likert type (1=strongly disagree, 2=disagree, 3=undecided, 4=agree, 5=strongly agree) and includes 27 positive and 2 negative statements. Two of the questions in the scale are knowledge questions with five options, marking the correct one was evaluated as 1 point and not marking the wrong one was evaluated as 1 point. The last two questions consist of open-ended questions. Those who do not answer these questions are given 1 point, one answer is 2 points, two answers are 3 points, three answers are 4 points, and those who answer four or more are 5 points.	before the 1st interview
