This randomized controlled trial investigated the effect of a breastfeeding roadmap on self-efficacy and effectiveness in 74 primiparous mothers. Results indicated significant improvements in both breastfeeding self-efficacy (F = 61.561, p < 0.001) and effectiveness (F = 39.572, p < 0.001) in the intervention group compared to the control group.
Key findings
- The intervention group showed a significant increase in breastfeeding self-efficacy (F = 61.561, p < 0.001).
- Breastfeeding effectiveness also significantly improved in the intervention group (F = 39.572, p < 0.001).
- The breastfeeding roadmap was used in addition to routine education for the intervention group.
- Data were collected using validated tools like the BSES-SF and LATCH.
Why it matters
Enhancing breastfeeding self-efficacy and effectiveness is crucial for primiparous mothers, as it can lead to better breastfeeding outcomes and maternal satisfaction. Evidence-based interventions like the breastfeeding roadmap can support healthcare providers in improving postpartum care.
