The Effect of Breastfeeding Education Given to Mothers in the Accompanying Mother Unit on the Attitude and Knowledge of Feeding

Abstract

Background: In this study, we examined the breastfeeding attitudes of mothers whose babies are in intensive care unit and the change of thought, after breastfeeding training given to mothers during they were staying as accompanying mothers. Methods: This study was conducted on the mothers whose babies were hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit between May and July 2019. Before the training entitled “The Importance of Breastmilk and Breastfeeding” was given to mothers during their babies were intensive care unit, a face-to-face interview questionnaire and the IOWA Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS) were applied. After the training, IIFAS was applied to the mothers again. Results: A total of 51 mothers participated in our study. The mean age of the mothers was 27.77 ± 5.8 years. The mean IIFAS score of the mothers was 66.35 ± 5.11 before the training and 74.5 ± 5.55 after the training. While only 15 (31.3%) of the mothers had an intention of breastfeeding before the training, 40 mothers (83.3%) had an intention of breastfeeding, after the training. We observed a significant increase in the mean IIFAS score after the training. Conclusion: When we compare the attitudes of mothers, regarding breastfeeding their babies before and after breastfeeding training, it was observed that the trainings positively affected their attitudes. Growing healthy generations can only be achieved by feeding with breast milk and increasing the rate of breastfeeding can be achieved by increasing the awareness in the society.
