Abstract：
BACKGROUND: There is growing evidence that fathers play an important role in the breastfeeding process and that fathers need education about breastfeeding. In our age of rapidly developing technology, the use of new teaching techniques in the education of fathers will provide more effective results.
OBJECTIVE: In this study, the effect of breastfeeding education given with digital storytelling method on fathers\' breastfeeding self-efficacy was examined.
METHODS: The study is a pretest-posttest randomized controlled trial. The study was conducted with the husbands of 80 pregnant women admitted to the childbirth preparation class of a state hospital. The study included a control group and an intervention of educational videos using a digital storytelling technique. Fathers were recruited from hospital antenatal classes and randomized to one of the two groups. Personal Information Form and Paternal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form were used for data collection. Each father completed data collection forms at the beginning of the study and at 3 months postpartum. The η2 effect size was calculated for significant differences in the independent and dependent groups t test methods used in the analysis.
RESULTS: There was a significant difference between the posttest scores of the fathers in the intervention and control groups (p < 0.05). When the effect sizes were analysed, it was found that the increase in the intervention group (t = -24.342) was higher than the control group (t = -8.385).
CONCLUSIONS: In the current study, the effect of using digital storytelling method in breastfeeding education on fathers\' breastfeeding self-efficacy was found to be significantly higher than routine education. It is recommended that this new method be used in education and counselling and that studies be conducted to examine its effect on breastfeeding behaviour and fathers\' breastfeeding support.

摘要：
背景：越来越多的证据表明，父亲在母乳喂养过程中起着重要作用，父亲需要有关母乳喂养的教育。在我们技术飞速发展的时代，在父亲教育中使用新的教学技术将提供更有效的结果。
目的：在本研究中，研究了使用数字讲故事方法进行母乳喂养教育对父亲母乳喂养自我效能的影响。
方法：本研究是一项前测后随机对照试验。这项研究是对80名孕妇的丈夫进行的，这些孕妇被送往一家州立医院的分娩准备班。该研究包括对照组和使用数字讲故事技术对教育视频进行干预。从医院产前班招募父亲，并随机分为两组之一。个人信息表和父亲母乳喂养自我效能量表-简表用于数据收集。每位父亲在研究开始时和产后3个月时填写了数据收集表。计算分析中使用的独立组和依赖组t检验方法的显著差异的η2效应大小。
结果：干预组和对照组的父亲的测验后得分之间存在显着差异（p<0.05）。当分析效果大小时，结果发现，干预组（t=-24.342）的增加高于对照组（t=-8.385）。
结论：在当前的研究中，发现在母乳喂养教育中使用数字讲故事方法对父亲母乳喂养自我效能的影响显着高于常规教育。建议将这种新方法用于教育和咨询，并进行研究以检查其对母乳喂养行为和父亲母乳喂养支持的影响。
