Summary
Study Description The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to examine the effects of a client health behavior interaction model-based breastfeeding support program on breastfeeding self-efficacy, attitudes, and problems in primipara mothers. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How does the program influence mothers' self-efficacy in breastfeeding? 2. What impact does the program have on mothers' attitudes towards breastfeeding and the problems they encounter? Participants will: 1. Receive breastfeeding support through an interactive health behavior model. 2. Participate in assessments of their breastfeeding self-efficacy and attitudes at designated intervals throughout the study duration. There is a comparison group: 1\. Researchers will compare the intervention group (mothers receiving the structured program) to a control group (mothers receiving standard care) to see if there is a significant difference in outcomes related to breastfeeding self-efficacy, attitudes, and encountered problems.

Interventions
This intervention includes a structured breastfeeding support program based on the Interaction Model of Client Health Behavior (IMCHB). It consists of: Educational Sessions: Conducted during the last trimester of pregnancy to provide information and prepare mothers for breastfeeding. Motivational Interviews: Conducted face-to-face at 1-3 days, 15 days, 30 days, 45 days, and 60 days postpartum to address individual challenges and provide personalized support. Follow-Up Support: Two follow-up sessions via WhatsApp video calls at 4 and 5 months postpartum to reinforce the intervention and provide ongoing assistance.
Participants receive the standard care provided at Family Health Centers, which includes routine breastfeeding education and support typically offered to new mothers. This standard care does not include the additional structured support interventions provided in the IMCHB-Based Breastfeeding Support Program.
