Background:
This study aimed to examine the effects of education and counselling provided to mothers of six-month-old infants during the transition to complementary feeding on complementary feeding behaviours and parenting self-efficacy.
Methods:
This randomised controlled study was conducted between December 2023 and February 2024. The sample comprised 608 mothers with six-month-old infants (Education + Counselling group n = 305, Counselling group n = 303). The study results focused on the mothers' behaviours related to complementary feeding and parenting self-efficacy The data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 26.0.
Results:
In the Education + Counselling group, the mothers' average age was 27.43 ± 3.94 years, whereas in the Counselling group, the average age was 27.59 ± 3.91 years. There were no significant differences in sociodemographic scores between the groups. After the four-week intervention, the Complementary Feeding Behaviour Scale (CFBS) score of the Education + Counselling group (101.22 ± 10.31) was found to be significantly higher than that of the Counselling group (97.81 ± 9.79). Additionally, the parenting self-efficacy scores of the Education + Counselling group (79.18 ± 6.99) were significantly higher than those of the Counselling group (64.23 ± 14.97).
Conclusion:
The education provided to mothers positively influenced their complementary feeding behaviours and increased their parenting self-efficacy. Recommendations include the development of health policies and initiatives to support healthy feeding behaviours. Online training given to mothers can be used to support complementary feeding behaviours.
