This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a gamification-based breastfeeding education program on breastfeeding self-efficacy and infant feeding attitudes among pregnant women. The study was designed as a randomized controlled, pretest-posttest, parallel-group trial and was conducted in the antenatal outpatient clinics of Lokman Hekim Etlik Hospital. Eligible pregnant women were randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group received breastfeeding education delivered through a digital gamification-based program during the last trimester of pregnancy, while the control group received routine breastfeeding education as part of standard antenatal care. Data were collected before and after the educational intervention. The primary focus of the study was to compare changes in breastfeeding self-efficacy and infant feeding attitudes between the two groups following the intervention. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the growing evidence on the use of innovative digital and gamification-based educational approaches in antenatal breastfeeding education.
