February 12, 2024 updated by: Mevlüde Alpaslan Arar, T.C. ORDU ÜNİVERSİTESİ

Effect of Technology-Based Breastfeeding Training After Cesarean on Breastfeeding Success and Self-Efficacy of Mothers

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of breastfeeding training given with virtual reality (VR) to postpartum primiparous mothers on breastfeeding success and breastfeeding self-efficacy.

Method: The research was designed as a prospective randomized controlled study. In total, 66 women were included in the study, with 31 in the control group and 35 in the intervention group. The intervention group watched a breastfeeding video with VR in the 4th and 24th hours after cesarean. Research data were collected with the sociodemographic information form, LATCH Breastfeeding Charting System and Documentation Tool and the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale. The study included mothers who gave birth with cesarean section, received breastfeeding counseling during pregnancy, with no vision or hearing disabilities and without any neurological disorder.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Breastfeeding Diagnostic and Assessment Scale
Time Frame: 6 months
The Latch Breastfeeding Scale was developed by Jensen and Wallace (1993) to objectively diagnose breastfeeding, detect breastfeeding problems, plan breastfeeding education, and create the same language for health professionals. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.93. The scale, adapted into Turkish by Yenal and Okumuş (2003), consists of five evaluation steps. LATCH stands for the English expressions of these steps. These evaluation steps are: ''L= Latch on breast'', ''A= Observation of the baby's swallowing movement (Audibleswallowing)'', ''T= Type of nipple'', ''C = The mother's comfort regarding the breast and nipple (Comfort breast/nipple)'', ''H = Holding position of the baby (Hold)''. Items on the scale are scored as 0-1-2. The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 10 and the lowest score is 0. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.95.
