Objective: This study evaluated the effectiveness of breastfeeding education using different simulation techniques on nursing students' breastfeeding knowledge, counseling skills, and clinical self-efficacy.
Method: The study sample consisted of 157 nursing students. Data were collected using a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Breastfeeding Assistance Clinical Preparedness Scale, the Breastfeeding Knowledge Form, the Clinical Self-Efficacy in Performance Scale, and the Breastfeeding Counseling Skills Checklist.
Conclusion: We expect that simulation and standardized patient-based breastfeeding education will effectively improve nursing students' readiness for breastfeeding assistance, breastfeeding knowledge, breastfeeding counseling skills, and clinical self-efficacy in breastfeeding performance.

| Breastfeeding Assistance Clinical Readiness Scale | In the scale developed by the researchers, students evaluate themselves from 0 (not sure) to 10 (absolutely sure) based on the statement "I am ready to provide breastfeeding counseling and breastfeeding care to a mother who has given birth in the clinic. | before training, 1 hour after training, 4 weeks after |
| Breastfeeding Information Form | The Breastfeeding Information Form was prepared by researchers using the breastfeeding information inventory developed by Marzalik in 2004 and the competency verification toolkit guide published by the World Health Organization to ensure the competency of direct care providers in the implementation of the baby-friendly hospital initiative. The form consists of 25 statements. Participants are asked to answer each statement as true, false, and I don't know. A correct answer in the form is worth 1 point, and the highest score on the form is 25 and the lowest is 0. As the score received from the form increases, it is interpreted as the level of breastfeeding knowledge increases. In order to evaluate the appropriateness of the scope and content of the form, expert opinions will be obtained from at least 9 faculty members. | before training, 1 hour after training, 4 weeks after |
| Self-efficacy scale in clinical performance | In order to determine the self-efficacy perceptions of nursing students about their clinical performance, the Clinical Performance Self-Efficacy Scale (CPSES) was developed by Cheraghi et al. (2009) in 2009. The Turkish validity and reliability studies of the scale were conducted by Zaybak (2016). The scale, which consists of a total of 37 items, consists of 4 factors (sub-dimensions) as "Data collection", "Diagnosis and planning", "Application" and "Evaluation". The scale's total and sub-dimension score averages are evaluated by taking the item score average. A high score average obtained from the scale indicates that self-efficacy in clinical performance is high. The total Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.98. | before training, 1 hour after training, 4 weeks after |

| Breastfeeding Counseling Skills List |
Created by researchers using professional practice guides. This skill list is used by the student during breastfeeding counseling. Scoring is done based on whether the breastfeeding counseling student demonstrates the skill. There are 25 steps in the skill list. Correct application is evaluated as 2 points, incomplete application as 1 point, and failure to apply as 0 points. The maximum score received from the list is 50 and the minimum score is 0. Expert opinions will be obtained from at least 9 faculty members in order to evaluate the appropriateness of the scope and content of the form |
