Then, vitamin D will be prescribed by the local specialist in the clinic based on the scientific method, depending on the deficiency.1-Serum Hydroxyvitamin D is less than 10 ng / ml: 50,000 units of vitamin D2 or D3, orally once a week for 6 to 8 weeks, and then 800 units of vitamin D3 per day.2. Serum vitamin D concentration greater than 10 and less than 20 ng / ml: 800 to 1000 units per day followed by follow up after three months.3. Serum concentrations of vitamin D of 20 and less than 30 ng / ml: 600 to 800 units of vitamin D3 are sufficient to maintain the levels of 25 hydroxyvitamin D in the target.Also, training based on the planned behavior of the model in 4 sessions, one week in face to face will be held as follows. At the first meeting, the group will discuss the experiences of friends and other people familiar with the use of vitamin D supplementation. The discussion and exchange of thoughts will be guided by the trainer to identify positive attitudes and beliefs that will guide people in giving people a positive impulse for taking vitamin D tablets and creating new attitudes and improving the negative attitude toward taking vitamin D, which lasts for 30 minutes Will take. In the second training session, considering the unpreparedness and emotionality obtained during the first session, along with the abstract norms that affect the use of vitamin D, vitamin D and its nutritional supplementation will be explained by the presentation of educational slides, and will seek to further motivate the necessity Vitamin D will be consumed during lactation, and thereafter, discussions will be held on the use of different types of foods and foods containing vitamin D among women, as well as misconceptions about the use of vitamin D tablets.

In this meeting, a family member or close friend who will have a great impact on the person will be invited to attend the meeting. The second session will take up to 30 minutes. The third session of the training will focus on the determination of taking action on taking vitamin D tablets by providing solutions that will be thought through by the research itself. This session will end with a cohort of behavioral mediation that will take 30 minutes. The fourth session will focus on the maternal and infant deficiencies in vitro D and the benefits of vitamin D supplementation for mother and baby and the intention of the mother to take vitamin D by slideshows and teaching methods for lectures, questions and answers, and sentimental thoughts like all other sessions. The duration of the meeting will be 30 minutes. At the end of each training session, research units will be reminded if they have questions in the field of knowledge of the researcher. At the end of the fourth session of the educational pamphlet, a training pamphlet will include information and training on vitamin D, vitamin D products, and Vitamin D-containing foods will be given to the intervention group, followed by a three-week phone call within 3 months. After three months, the level of vitamin D was measured and a researcher-made questionnaire including knowledge, attitude, abstract norms, behavioral control, and behavioral intention intentionally measured and pre-intervention using T-test, t-test, paired t-test, chi square test, Mann-Whitney test And the Wilcoxon test will be compared.
