Abstract
Review question/objective 1. The objectives of this review are to synthesise the best available evidence on: 2. The effectiveness of different types of breastfeeding education on increasing maternal self-efficacy. 3. The impact of different types of breastfeeding education on duration of exclusive breastfeeding, duration of any breastfeeding, and breastfeeding complications. 4. The effectiveness of different types of breastfeeding education on increasing maternal self-efficacy and breastfeeding duration, as compared with conventional care. Specific review questions are: 1. What is the effectiveness of various forms of breastfeeding education (for example, educational program, didactic teaching session, one-to-one, group, peer support, and workshop) on maternal breastfeeding outcomes, including maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding duration? 2. What is the effectiveness of breastfeeding education of varying duration (for example, one hour, one and a half hours) on maternal breastfeeding outcomes, including maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding duration? 3. What is the effectiveness of various timing of breastfeeding education (for example, prenatal, postnatal, both prenatal and postnatal period) on maternal breastfeeding outcomes, including maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding duration? 4. What is the effectiveness of different providers of breastfeeding education (for example, lactation consultant, midwife, nurse, nurse practitioner, or physician) on maternal breastfeeding outcomes, including maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding duration? 5. What is the effectiveness of breastfeeding education based on self efficacy theory compared with other types of breastfeeding education on maternal breastfeeding outcomes, including maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding duration?
