Although there are studies in the literature on the effects of antenatal education on pregnant women, there are no interventional studies on the education of grandmothers, who play an important role in the care of the newborn baby. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the effects of antenatal education given to grandmothers on anxiety and self-confidence in baby care. The type of study is a randomized controlled experimental study with pre-post and control groups. The training will be given face to face to grandmothers reached through social media. At the beginning of the study, the sample size was calculated in the G-Power program by taking as reference a similar study in which the same scale (Pharis Self-Confidence Scale) was used. According to the t-test in independent groups, 95% confidence interval, 95% power and high effect size (0.98), a total of 48 people were required, 24 experimental and 24 control. Women who apply to receive training will be assigned to intervention and control groups in a block randomised manner according to their application numbers. Intention-to-treat analysis will be performed to prevent bias and losses. A total of six hours of training will be provided to the intervention group. The program content will be prepared by researchers based on literature and using childbirth preparation education philosophies.
