Lecturer Pelin Gökoğlu Gürer, one of the faculty members in the Child Development Program at the Vocational School of our University, has published her scientific study examining first-time mothers’ experiences of using ChatGPT for breastfeeding and infant care in Maternal & Child Nutrition, an internationally recognized journal in the field of maternal and child health.
In the study titled “Experiences of Primiparous Mothers Using ChatGPT for Breastfeeding and Infant Care,” the experiences of primiparous mothers using ChatGPT as a source of information during breastfeeding and early infant care, as well as their perceptions of this technology, were examined through a qualitative research method. Within the scope of the study, in-depth online interviews were conducted with 15 primiparous mothers who applied to a child health outpatient clinic in Türkiye, and the obtained data were evaluated using thematic analysis.
The findings revealed that mothers considered ChatGPT as an easily accessible and complementary source of information, particularly during the early stages of motherhood. The participants stated that ChatGPT reduced uncertainty in newly encountered situations, increased their confidence, and supported their decision-making processes regarding daily infant care. However, it was determined that mothers preferred to receive individualized support from healthcare professionals rather than using artificial intelligence-supported tools in cases of serious or complex infant health problems.
The study demonstrates that artificial intelligence-supported conversational systems can provide support to mothers by facilitating access to information during the early stages of motherhood; however, they cannot replace professional healthcare services. The research is expected to contribute to future studies conducted at the intersection of maternal-infant health, child development, and artificial intelligence.
The study was published in Maternal & Child Nutrition, one of the leading scientific journals in the fields of maternal, newborn, and child nutrition. The journal is indexed in the Web of Science Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Scopus databases and is classified in the Q1 (first quartile) category, being among the international peer-reviewed journals with a high impact value in the field of maternal and child health.
We congratulate our faculty member and wish her continued success.
