Detailed Description

Introduction: It is known that breast milk is crucial for newborns and infants. The Health Belief Model has been widely used in recent years to improve and promote health behaviors.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of breastfeeding education based on the Health Belief Model during the antenatal period on couples' perception and self-efficacy regarding breast milk.

Method: This randomized controlled study was conducted between June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2022, at the Dr. Selahattin Cizrelioğlu State Hospital in Şırnak. A total of 220 participants, including 110 couples who met the inclusion criteria, were randomly assigned to an intervention group (55 couples) and a control group (55 couples). Data were collected using a "Participant Information Form" for socio-demographic and obstetric information, the "Adults' Perception of Breast Milk Scale" for assessing perception related to breast milk, the "Pregnancy Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale- Short Form" for evaluating mothers' breastfeeding self-efficacy during the antenatal period, and the "Paternal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale" for assessing fathers' breastfeeding self-efficacy during the pregnancy period.
