Evaluation of the Effect of Breastfeeding Training Given in Antenatal Period on Breastfeeding Knowledge Level and Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale

Exploring the breastfeeding knowledge level and its influencing factors of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus

BackgroundStudies reveal that promoting the breastfeeding knowledge level help to improve breastfeeding behaviors. Promoting breastfeeding knowledge is a simple and economical way to increase breastfeeding rates. However, there are no studies focus on the level of breastfeeding knowledge and factors influencing the knowledge in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), which is defined as any degree of glucose tolerance impairment first diagnosed during pregnancy. Thus, the objectives of this study were to investigate the breastfeeding knowledge level of GDM pregnant women and explore factors influencing the knowledge level.MethodsCross-sectional survey and convenience sampling were conducted in this study. The sociodemographic characteristics, caregivers in pregnancy, knowledge source, breastfeeding status and breast status information of participants were collected. Breastfeeding Knowledge Scale was used to assess the breastfeeding knowledge level of pregnant women with GDM. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influence factors of breastfeeding knowledge level in this study.ResultsA total of 226 questionnaires were issued and finally 212 valid questionnaires were collected. Some misconceptions still existed (e.g. ‘breastfeeding cannot prevent your baby from being overweight’ and ‘it is advisable to breastfeed 3-4 times per day within 2-3 days after delivery’), although women with GDM had a good score of breastfeeding knowledge (mean score: 103.5 ± 10.4). Multiple linear regression analysis found that gestational age, family per capita monthly income, educational level, knowledge source were the independent protective factors for breastfeeding knowledge and minority nationality was the independent risk factor. The educational level had the greatest influence on the breastfeeding knowledge level of GDM pregnant women (β = 0.210, t = 2.978, P = 0.003).ConclusionGDM pregnant women with insufficient gestational age, low educational level, low family per capita monthly income and single access to knowledge should be included in the focus of health education on breastfeeding. In-depth and systematic health education should be conducted for pregnant women with GDM to improve their breastfeeding rate.

Breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes, intentions, and perception of support from educational institutions among nursing students and students from other faculties: A descriptive cross-sectional study

BackgroundNursing education aims to promote positive health practices among the general population as well as among nurses themselves. Breastfeeding is one of these important health practices. However, to date there is little evidence regarding the extent to which nursing education affects nursing students' attitudes, knowledge, intentions, and their perception of institutional support regarding breastfeeding. ObjectivesTo compare breastfeeding attitudes and knowledge among nursing students and students from other faculties, as well as their perception of their academic institution's support for breastfeeding, and to explore the association between these factors and students' intention to breastfeed during the course of their studies. DesignThis study was a descriptive cross-sectional study. SettingsThe study was conducted at a large university in central Israel. ParticipantsOne hundred female students from the faculty of nursing and 100 female students from other faculties, of childbearing age, who were either pregnant or mothers. MethodsThe students completed a questionnaire regarding their breastfeeding knowledge, intentions, attitudes, and their perception of their academic institution's support for breastfeeding. ResultsNursing students' level of breastfeeding knowledge was very high, and higher than that among students from other faculties. However, both groups had similar moderately positive overall scores for attitudes towards breastfeeding. In addition, both groups expressed similar moderate intentions to breastfeed during the course of their studies. Students' perception of their academic faculty as supportive of breastfeeding, their breastfeeding attitudes, and breastfeeding knowledge, were found to predict their intention to breastfeed during the course of their studies. ConclusionsNursing programs should place more emphasis on improving nursing students' attitudes towards breastfeeding. In order to promote breastfeeding among students during their studies, it is important to ensure a pro-breastfeeding environment on campus.

The effect of a postnatal education and support program on breastfeeding among primiparous women: A randomized controlled trial

IntroductionWomen's traditional way of breastfeeding has altered in Jordan with rates declining in recent years. ObjectiveThe objectives of this study were to test whether the introduction of an educational program supporting breastfeeding would increase the proportion of women who breastfed fully to six months, improve the women's level of breastfeeding knowledge, and decrease the proportion of infants admitted to hospitals due to gastrointestinal illnesses. MethodsA randomized controlled trial was conducted in 90 primiparous women who had given birth to a healthy, full term, singleton baby at two hospitals in the southern region of Jordan. Women were randomly allocated to either the intervention group (n=45), in which they were offered a one-to-one postnatal educational session and follow-up phone calls at two months and four months postpartum, or the control group (n=45), in which they received routine postnatal care. The primary outcomes were the proportion of women fully breastfeeding their babies at six months and the women's level of breastfeeding knowledge at six months postpartum. ResultsThe postnatal education and support program significantly improved breastfeeding knowledge measured by differences between mean pre- and post-test scores. This was statistically significant for the intervention group (p<0.001) but was not significant for the control (p=0.23). The proportion of women fully breastfeeding their babies at 6 months was not found to be statistically significantly different between the intervention group (39%) and the control group (27%), percentage difference=12% (95% confidence interval [−9% to 30%], Chi squared: χ2=3.54, p>0.05). ConclusionsAlthough the postnatal education and support program improved breastfeeding knowledge among women in the study, this increase in knowledge did not translate to an increase in the duration of full breastfeeding to six months.
