dc.description.abstractThis study investigated the effects of structured prenatal breastfeeding education on postnatal breastfeeding self-efficacy, success, and breastfeeding behaviors among adolescent mothers. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 106 adolescent pregnant women assigned to either an experimental or control group. The experimental group received two sessions of structured prenatal education. Data were collected using the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form, the LATCH Breastfeeding Assessment Tool, and a standardized Breastfeeding Evaluation Form. Results showed significantly higher breastfeeding self-efficacy scores in the experimental group compared to the control group. Breastfeeding success scores at the first postpartum hour and the 4th-5th hours were also significantly higher in the experimental group. Additionally, positive breastfeeding behaviors such as initiating breastfeeding early, feeding every two hours, and alternating breasts appropriately were more frequently observed in the experimental group. These findings suggest that prenatal breastfeeding education significantly improves breastfeeding self-efficacy, success, and behavior among adolescent mothers.
