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.

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 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: Breast milk is important for child nutrition and development. Based on research studies, breast milk provides immune components for the health of the infant and encourages mother-child bonding. Literature has shown the main reason women do not breastfeed is because of inadequate breastfeeding education and support from health professionals or peers. Most nurses in the prenatal and postpartum units have limited knowledge about breastfeeding. The knowledge of the nurses was tested before intervention to gain insight on what the nurses know about breastfeeding and The Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative program. This project aims to improve breastfeeding rates and duration through nursing education. Research evidence supports improved nursing education on breastfeeding as a means of increasing breastfeeding rates. This project proposes breastfeeding education designed for nurses to educate and support mothers for the purpose of increasing breastfeeding rates. In addition, research evidence supports structured education such as The Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding to promote breastfeeding. In this light, the proposal suggests the adoption of the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative program (BFHI) by the hospital to ensure adherence by nurses in their practice. Nurses should familiarize themselves with the problems associated with breastfeeding and the interventions. This is also a one of the main reasons women do not breastfeed and being able to handle these problems will remove some of the obstacles against breastfeeding. Women's' perceptions and cosmetic issues are problems that deserve attention and require nurse's encouragement and support. This project will describe how this will be implemented, the methods by which the outcome will be evaluated and how the results will be shared to stakeholders and larger nursing community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research reports that 48% of mothers reported having lack of skills related to breastfeeding. That is almost half of all mothers having babies that do not have the necessary skills to breastfeed and maintain breastfeeding for the recommended six months. Research has shown that mothers are receiving conflicting information in the hospital settings and some are receiving no education while hospitalized. It has been shown that most stop breastfeeding in just a couple of weeks post discharge. Evidence based practice has shown that being baby friendly is what is best for breastfeeding. A study provided an example of how breastfeeding rates at 6 months are higher if no supplementing, pacifier use, and skin to skin was allowed. These are indicators of being baby friendly. Skin to skin is evidence based that proves infants is more likely to latch on themselves within an hour of birth if given the opportunity. Providing education is the solution to solving the knowledge deficit in the new mothers. Implementing screening tools to determine the amount of breastfeeding knowledge the mother has as well as an education plan to educate all mothers before, during, and after discharge will help mothers feel more confident. Providing resources along with the education on barriers to breastfeed and where to find help will allow mothers to seek the opportunity needed for the extra assistance. These interventions can potentially increase the overall breastfeeding rate and increase mother's knowledge base which saves money and prevents long term chronic health problems. Using the appropriate evaluation tool to assess the needed changes is important in keeping the proposal going and allowing others to view the results and make changes in his or her setting to better benefit the mothers who want to breastfeed. This paper will discuss the knowledge deficit of new mothers wanting to breastfeed, a solution to the problem, a plan to solve the problem, and an evaluation to determine how the planned proposal was successful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, lack of breast feeding is considered a major public health priority. Increased breastfeeding has been shown to be related to a decrease in health care spending, decreased childhood and adult obesity, less employee absenteeism, along with many other health benefits to the mother and her infant. Known factors which contribute to increased breastfeeding outcomes are strong sense of commitment to breastfeeding, good support system, higher exposure to breastfeeding, and greater knowledge of breastfeeding benefits. The purpose of this study was to determine if breastfeeding education would influence adolescents' knowledge and perceptions about breastfeeding and increase their future intentions to breastfeed. A pre- and post-test survey format was used to measure high school students' breastfeeding knowledge, perceptions and later intentions to breastfeed before and after a breastfeeding educational session. Participating high school, Family and Consumer Education classrooms were assigned to one of three conditions: the control, the experimental, and the experimental plus additional breastfeeding assignment group. 3 Statistically significant differences were found in future breastfeeding intentions between the control and the two experimental groups on the posttest survey. General knowledge, acceptability of public breastfeeding and attitude scores significantly increased from the pre- to the posttest for the two experimental groups as a result of breastfeeding education. Furthermore, the experimental plus assignment group had significantly higher breastfeeding intentions (83.3% vs. 57.6%) and a statistically significant greater mean knowledge score than the experimental group (M = 122.09, SD = 2.97 vs. M = 116.77, SD = 2.79, respectively). This study suggests that implementing a breastfeeding education curriculum in high schools, along with an opportunity for students to interview a mother who has breastfeed, may be effective strategies to increase local breastfeeding rates.
