Parental knowledge and experiences can\n influence this bond. Online breastfeeding education may provide\n informational and psychological support that could contribute to parental\n bonding.<\/jats:p>\n To evaluate the effect of online breastfeeding education for primiparous\n women and their partners on prenatal maternal bonding and paternal antenatal\n bonding.<\/jats:p>\n This randomized controlled study was conducted online via Google Meet between\n January 1 and April 1, 2025. The sample included 101 primiparous pregnant\n women (experimental: 52; control: 49) and their partners. Participants were\n recruited using snowball sampling and completed the Personal Information\n Form, Prenatal Attachment Scale, and Paternal Antenatal Attachment Scale\n before and after the intervention.<\/jats:p>\n Post-intervention, prenatal attachment scores were higher in the experimental\n group than the control group (p<0.05), but within-group pre\u2013post changes\n were not significant. Differences were observed in curiosity, excitement,\n and hope subdimensions (p<0.05). Fathers showed slight increases in\n antenatal attachment scores, with no significant changes within or between\n groups (p>0.05).<\/jats:p>\n Online breastfeeding education did not significantly improve prenatal\n attachment within the intervention group or paternal antenatal bonding.\n Post-test maternal attachment was higher in the experimental group, but the\n overall effect on parent-fetus bonding was limited. Targeted, theory-based\n educational interventions are needed to strengthen prenatal bonding,\n especially for fathers. Future studies with larger samples and longer\n follow-up are recommended to evaluate sustained effects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2792-3398","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,10]],"date-time":"2026-02-10T00:46:18Z","timestamp":1770684378000},"page":"237-250","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The
