dc.description.abstractThe aim of this research was to assess the effects of online infant care education and postnatal counseling, based on Meleis's transition theory, on maternal self-esteem and infant health. The randomized controlled trial was conducted between November 2022 and May 2023 with 102 mothers and their infants, n = 52 in the intervention and n = 50 in the control. The intervention group received training across two sessions between 32 and 38 weeks of gestation and counseling support for 3 months postbirth. The control group was shared with additional educational materials in PDF format in addition to their usual care. In the intervention group, the subdimension and total score mean of the Karitane Parental Self-Confidence Scale during pregnancy, postpartum, first, second, and third months were higher than the control group (p = 0.001). The proportion of exclusive breastfeeding in the third month was higher in the intervention group than in the control group (p = 0.001). Newborn nurses' care on Meleis' transition theory will increase the quality of care and newborn health. In our study, Meleis's transition theory provides a strong foundation for understanding mothers' psychological and physical transitions in the postpartum period.Trial Registration: NCT05812833
