Abstract

Aim: This study aims to determine the effect of individual breastfeeding training on breastfeeding behaviors and traditional practices. Materials and Methods: The research was of randomized controlled design. The study was conducted at the family health centers in Kütahya, Turkey. A total of 304 mothers were recruited into the study, 152 in the intervention group and 152 in the control group. The Chi-Square Test, Mann-Whitney U Test and Kruskal-Wallis Test and Multinomial logistic regression were performed. Results: After the training, the rates of the mothers whose breastfeeding duration and frequency were sufficient, who breastfed their babies in the correct position, who did not have any breastfeeding problems, and whose babies latched onto the breast correctly were significantly higher in the training group than were the rates of the mothers in the control group ( p <0.05). Conclusion: The individual breastfeeding training had an implication in improving breastfeeding behaviors and reduced harmful traditional practices.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, bireysel emzirme eğitiminin emzirme davranışlarına ve geleneksel uygulamalara etkisini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma randomize kontrollü çalışma olarak tasarlandı. Araştırma Türkiye’nin Kütahya ilindeki aile sağlığı merkezlerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Eğitim grubunda 152 ve kontrol grubunda 152 olmak üzere toplam 304 anne çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Ki-Kare, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis ve Multinominal lojistik regresyon testleri yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Eğitim sonrasında müdahale grubundaki annelerde emzirme süresi ve sayısı yeterli olanların, doğru pozisyonda emzirenlerin, emzirme sorunu yaşamayanların, memeyi doğru tutan bebeklerin oranı kontrol grubundakilerden önemli düzeyde yüksektir ( p <0,05). Sonuç: Bireysel emzirme eğitimi, emzirme davranışlarını iyileştirmede ve zararlı geleneksel uygulamaları azaltmada etkilidir.
