The study was conducted with randomized controlled experimental research design and performed with 80 primiparous women as intervention (n: 40) and control (n: 40) groups. Independent t-test, multivariate and one-way analysis of variance, Bonferroni-matched paired t-test were used to evaluate the data. There was a statistically significant difference between the intervention and control groups in terms of both LATCH and Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale mean scores, group, time and group * time interaction (p < 0.05).
