In an effort to increase breastfeeding rates, the World Health Organization and UNICEF have made their recommendations to hospitals and birthing facilities on how to be designated.as "baby-friendly". The initiative calls for increased breastfeeding educational opportunities for nurses so they can provide mothers with the most up to- date support and information on infant feeding. This study was conducted in an effort to discover the effectiveness of an evidence-based educational intervention among Baccalaureate nursing students at California State University San Marcos. Additionally, the study answered the question "do the demographic variables and the covariate (age, gender and experience with breastfeeding) predict their knowledge of and attitudes towards breastfeeding?". A non-probability, convenience sampling method was used to select the population of ba ccalaureate nursing students at California State University San Marcos for this study.A non-probability, convenience sampling method was used to select the population of baccalaureate nursing students at California State University San Marcos for this study. A total of 70 students participated in the evidence-based educational intervention. The instruments used to measure the effectiveness of the educational intervention were the Newborn Feeding Ability Questionnaire (Creed, Cantrill & Cooke, 2008) and Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (De la Mora et al., 1997). The paired t-test showed a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores for both of the dependent variables: knowledge (t= 12.32; p=.OOO) and attitude (t=7.48; p=.OOO) .These findings demonstrated the effectiveness of the hour and a half long evidence-based lecture that was presented, thus providing evidence in support of the hypothesis of this study. The regression analysis results revealed that age, gender and prior experience with breastfeeding were not significant predictors of knowledge; however, age, gender, and prior experience with breastfeeding did significantly predict BSN students' attitudes towards breastfeeding in the pilot study sample

This book was released on 2014 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breastfeeding provides many health benefits for both mother and baby, and mothers need support and encouragement in order to have breastfeeding success. National initiatives to promote breastfeeding support have been implemented in an effort to improve breastfeeding outcomes. The breastfeeding support that mothers receive should come from communities, healthcare providers, and nursing students. However, researchers reported that nursing students are not receiving the educational preparation to provide breastfeeding support that mothers need. The purpose of this study was to determine if an evidence-based educational intervention would have an effect on baccalaureate nursing students' knowledge and attitude in regard to breastfeeding support provided for mothers. A randomized pretest-posttest with comparison group design was used and breastfeeding knowledge and attitude scores were evaluated utilizing the Australian Breastfeeding Knowledge and Attitude Questionnaire (ABKAQ). Students participated in an evidence-based breastfeeding lecture followed by participation in either a simulation role-play with a standardized patient for the experimental group or viewing of an educational breastfeeding video for the control group. Statistical analysis results revealed a significant difference in pretest and posttest scores in regard to the students' breastfeeding knowledge and attitudes toward breastfeeding. No significant difference was found in breastfeeding knowledge and attitudes toward breastfeeding pretest and posttest scores between the groups. Although the results of this study revealed that there were no differences in breastfeeding knowledge and attitudes toward breastfeeding between the experimental and control groups, providing students with the evidence-based educational interventions was beneficial as increased breastfeeding knowledge and attitudes toward breastfeeding were achieved.

Download or read book Latching on to Breastfeeding written by Chelsea Lysette Ortiz and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breastfeeding is the most natural form of infant feeding to organically enhance an infant’s immune system from birth (CDC, 2019; UNICEF, 2017). Breast milk has been associated with lower risks of acute and chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, certain cancers, and postpartum depression (WHO, 2019). Data indicated an estimated annual $13 billion in savings associated with breastfeeding, with more than 900 preventable deaths (Bartick & Reinhold, 2010). Current breastfeeding duration rates fall below Healthy People 2020 (Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, 2014) goals despite its biological and economic benefits. Registered nurses make up 70% of the healthcare workforce and are a constant source of support and guidance during the prenatal and postpartum period of maternity. Because of the short and long term benefits to both mother and infant through breastfeeding, coupled with the vital role nurses play in a mother’s breastfeeding duration, it was important to evaluate current and future nurse’s knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs on breastfeeding. Using data through a self-reported survey, this study investigated the breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of student nurses. Results indicated low levels of breastfeeding knowledge, unfavorable attitudes towards breastfeeding, and favorable beliefs about breastfeeding among nursing students. Independent-t tests and One-Way ANOVA tests were conducted.

Book excerpt: Objective: To design and pilot test a school-based educational breastfeeding intervention on the breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes and future infant feeding intentions of secondary school adolescent females. Design: A one-group, pre-test/post-test, quasi-experimental design Methods: A convenience sample of 77 adolescent secondary school female students received one 70-minute educational breastfeeding session during health education classes in a secondary school in Ontario. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaires at baseline and one day post-intervention. A modified version of the Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS) and a modified Breastfeeding Knowledge Scale were used to measure breastfeeding attitudes and knowledge of participants. Additional outcomes measures included future breastfeeding intentions and students' perceptions of the educational session. Results: Breastfeeding knowledge (p
Download or read book Impact of a Breastfeeding Education Intervention on Obstetric Nurse Breastfeeding Knowledge and Confidence written by Taylor J. Orr and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Breastfeeding is recognized as the optimal source of nutrition for infants during the first six months of life. There are numerous health benefits from breastfeeding for both mothers and infants. Nurses are in a position to provide breastfeeding education and hands-on support in the immediate postpartum period, helping to set patients up for a successful breastfeeding journey. The goal of this project using Nola Pender’s Health Promotion Model was to determine if an educational intervention utilizing breastfeeding resources from the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric, and Neonatal Nurses increased nurses’ knowledge level and confidence providing breastfeeding education. Methods: An educational intervention with pretest and posttest design for comparison was used. Results were compared and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: 22 obstetric nurses (N=22) completed pretests and received breastfeeding education. 17 posttests were returned (return rate 77.3%). Pretest scores revealed a mean score of 67%. Posttest results revealed a mean score of 88.2%. Nurse confidence providing breastfeeding support prior to the educational intervention averaged 4.09 (out of five). Nurse confidence providing breastfeeding support post-intervention increased to an average of 4.53 (out of five). These results demonstrate the significance of improvement in breastfeeding knowledge and confidence providing breastfeeding support following an educational intervention regarding breastfeeding. Conclusion: The education intervention was successful in improving obstetric nurse breastfeeding knowledge and confidence providing breastfeeding support to patients. It is recommended based on the evidence that obstetric nurses undergo regular breastfeeding education to maintain current knowledge and build confidence providing breastfeeding support to patients. -- Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breastfeeding is a major public health issue. Breastmilk provides all the nutrients a baby needs for their first six months. Research studies also show that breastfeeding doesn’t just help to protect infants from infection, but has other benefits such as reducing obesity and can help protect mothers from some diseases in later life. Although initiation of breastfeeding is improving, the numbers who continue drop rapidly in the first few weeks highlighting that women need the support of their midwives and health visitors when beginning breastfeeding and throughout their child’s infancy. Based on the UNICEF UK BFI University learning outcomes, this newly updated textbook addresses the outcomes to ensure that students are equipped with the essential knowledge and skills to effectively promote and support breastfeeding mothers, including: • anatomy and physiology; • building relationships; • essential skills and good practice guidance; • dealing with common problems; • public health considerations; • babies and mothers with special needs; • complementary feeding. Suitable for both undergraduate students and practitioners undertaking continuing professional development, Evidence-based Care for Breastfeeding Mothers is designed to aid learning. Each chapter begins with specific learning outcomes linked to the Baby Friendly outcomes, key fact boxes, clinical scenarios and activities.
