Sponsored by Dokuz Eylul University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
This study was planned to examine the effect of telephone support for breastfeeding follow-up on physiological jaundice, exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months, infantile colic, maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy, and breastfeeding success.
Hypothesis; H1: Telephone support for breastfeeding follow-up affects the development of physiological jaundice.
H2: Telephone support for breastfeeding monitoring affects exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months.
H3: Telephone support for breastfeeding follow-up affects infantile colic. H4: Telephone support for breastfeeding follow-up affects maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy.
H5: Telephone support for breastfeeding follow-up affects breastfeeding success of mothers.
Social media communication is planned to be completed at the 36th or older gestational week, who will have her first or second birth.
Block randomization will be applied according to maternal age, the number of births, baby gender, and birth week. Age (3 groups) X number of births (2 groups) X baby gender (2 groups) X gestational week (2 groups) = 24 blocks
Through social media, women between the ages of 18-45, who will have their first or second birth at their 36th or older gestational week will be included in the study. The woman in the control and study groups will be given breastfeeding and baby care training with the help of the training booklet by video calling.
148 studies on the registry are indexed under Colic; 21 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 70 is below the median of 88 across 122 interventional studies indexed under Colic.

breastfeeding success
LATCH Breastfeeding Assesment Scale: It is a measurement tool developed to evaluate breastfeeding. It was created to diagnose breastfeeding, to identify problems, to determine training accordingly, to create a common language among health professionals and to be used in studies. This measurement tool consists of the English initials of five evaluation criteria. Each item is scored between 0-2 points. The highest score is 10.
Time frame: until discharge from the hospital an average 2 week
Infantile Colic
Infantile Colic Scale: It was developed to diagnose and evaluate colic. The validity and reliability study of the scale was done in Turkey. 12 Scale items are graded with Likert type scoring ranging from 1 to 6.
Time frame: until discharge from the hospital an average 24 week
Maternal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy
Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form: It is a 33-item scale to evaluate breastfeeding self-efficacy levels of mothers. Later, a 14-item short form of the scale was developed in 2003. It is applied more easily and evaluates self-efficacy correctly. Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Short Form Scale is a 5 point Likert type scale.
Time frame: until discharge from the hospital an average 24 week
rate of physiological jaundice
physiological parameter of jaundice
Time frame: until discharge from the hospital an average 2 week
rate of exclusive breastfeeding
exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months
Time frame: until discharge from the hospital an average 24 week
