Technology-Based Breastfeeding Training After Cesarean

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of breastfeeding training given with virtual reality (VR) to postpartum primiparous mothers on breastfeeding success and breastfeeding self-efficacy. Method: The research was designed as a prospective randomized controlled study. In total, 66 women were included in the study, with 31 in the control group and 35 in the intervention group. The intervention group watched a breastfeeding video with VR in the 4th and 24th hours after cesarean. Research data were collected with the sociodemographic information form, LATCH Breastfeeding Charting System and Documentation Tool and the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale. The study included mothers who gave birth with cesarean section, received breastfeeding counseling during pregnancy, with no vision or hearing disabilities and without any neurological disorder.
