The Effect of Breastfeeding Experience With Virtual Reality Glasses on Breastfeeding Self-efficacy and Motivation

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of breastfeeding experience on breastfeeding self-efficacy and motivation in women with virtual reality simulation. The main question it aims to answer is:

Is breastfeeding experience with virtual reality glasses effective in increasing breastfeeding self-efficacy and motivation? They completed the Socio-Demographic and Pregnancy Information Form and the Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale. Standard breastfeeding training was given. The application group also experienced breastfeeding with a virtual reality simulation. At the end of the application, they filled out the Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale again. They completed the postpartum Primiparous Breastfeeding Motivation Scale.

About this study

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of breastfeeding experience on breastfeeding self-efficacy and motivation in women with virtual reality simulation.

Desing: This study is a randomized controlled trial. Method: A total of 52 people were included in the study, 26 in the control group and 26 in the intervention group. They completed the Socio-Demographic and Pregnancy Information Form and the Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale. Standard breastfeeding training was given. The application group also experienced breastfeeding with a virtual reality simulation. At the end of the application, they filled out the Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale again. They completed the postpartum Primiparous Breastfeeding Motivation Scale.

Primary outcomes

  1. Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale

    Time frame: The breastfeeding experience with virtual reality glasses lasted 5 minutes. The intervention was repeated a second time a week later over a 5-minute period. After two weeks of intervention, the last Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale test was applied.

    The Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale was developed by Wells and colleagues in 2006. The validity and reliability study of the scale in Turkish was conducted by Aydın and Pasinlioğlu in 2018. The scale consists of 20 items and is 5-point likert type. The lowest score to be taken from the scale is 20 and the highest score is 100. An increase in the score obtained from the scale indicates an increase in the perception of breastfeeding self-efficacy. The Cronbach Alpha value of the scale is 0.85.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Primipar Breastfeeding Motivation Scale

    Time frame: The scale was completed up to two months after delivery.

    The adaptation of the Breastfeeding Motivation Scale developed by Kestler-Peleg (2015) to Turkish was carried out by Mızrak and Özerdogan in 2017. The scale for primiparous mothers consists of 23 items. Items are scored as 1, 2, 3, 4. The total score is not taken from the scale. As the score obtained from the sub-dimension of the scale increases, the motivation representing that sub-dimension also increases. The Cronbach alpha value of the scale is 0.887.
