Abstract

Background:

Postnatal breastfeeding rates are low, so breastfeeding education is necessary and should be initiated prenatally. Standard breastfeeding education methods have shown limited effectiveness. Therefore, there is a need for innovative, memorable, and engaging breastfeeding education approaches during the prenatal period.

Research Aims:

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of antenatal breastfeeding education delivered through the Pecha Kucha method on postpartum breastfeeding self-efficacy, infant feeding attitude, and breastfeeding satisfaction.

Method:

This randomized controlled study was conducted with 70 pregnant women—35 in an experimental group and 35 in a control group—at the gynecology and obstetrics clinic of a hospital. The data were collected using the Descriptive Information Form, Antenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale, Postpartum Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (PBSS), Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IFAS) and the Visual Analog Scale-Satisfaction (VAS-S).

Results:

In the study, in the control group, IFAS scores significantly decreased between baseline and both the 2nd and 4th week assessments, whereas in the experimental group, scores significantly increased (p < 0.001). PBSS scores significantly increased in the experimental group (z = -3.519, p < 0.001). The mean VAS-S scores increased in the experimental group (p = 0.001), while they decreased in the control group (p = 0.005).

Conclusion:

Breastfeeding education delivered via the Pecha Kucha method increased postpartum breastfeeding self-efficacy, positively influenced infant feeding attitudes, and enhanced breastfeeding satisfaction, suggesting it may be a promising and innovative approach for antenatal breastfeeding education.
