What this trial studies
This study examines the effects of a Nurse Consultancy Program designed to enhance breastfeeding self-efficacy among pregnant women and their family members. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, receiving individual counseling based on Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Theory and hypno-breastfeeding philosophy, or a control group. The intervention consists of five sessions totaling 7.5 hours, focusing on both the mother and her support network. The goal is to improve social support perception and breastfeeding outcomes through targeted education and support.

Not a fit: Patients who may not benefit include those with medical conditions preventing breastfeeding or those who do not have adequate family support.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly enhance breastfeeding practices and outcomes for mothers and infants.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown positive outcomes with similar breastfeeding support interventions, indicating potential for success in this approach.
