Microbiota Awareness and Nutrition Education Given to Mothers With Motivational Interview

The Effect of Motivational Interview, Prepared According to the Health Behavior Interaction Model, on Microbiota Awareness and Attitudes on Infant Nutrition in Primiparous Mothers Who Start Complementary Nutrition: A Randomized Controlled Study

Complementary nutrition is considered a critical step not only for changes in nutritional requirements but also for the formation of life-long taste preferences, nutrition and eating habits that may affect health in the long run. While the microbiota is developing, in the early stages of life, the wrong food choice negatively affects the microbiota development and causes malnutrition. In this study, the effect of motivational interviews prepared according to the Health Behavior Interaction Model on microbiota awareness and infant feeding attitude will be investigated in primiparous mothers who will start complementary feeding.
