Professional Supporting and Women's Education for Breastfeeding Promotion: Preliminary Study

Background The long-term benefits of breastfeeding for newborns and mothers are undeniable and scientifically recognized. Current WHO/UNICEF guidelines suggest increasing exclusive breastfeeding to 75.0% by 2030 worldwide. However, there is substantial heterogeneity in breastfeeding practices around the world. Because while breastfeeding promotion is complex, breastfeeding instructions remain without any educational design in general. Primary Objective: \- Determine the effectiveness of breastfeeding educations among the nursing mothers during first month after childbirth. Secondary objectives: * Identify the theoretical and pedagogical engineering framework the breastfeeding educations proposed in antenatal among nursing mothers and professionals. * Assess the perceived usefulness of nursing mothers regarding to the educational interventions for breastfeeding management and its frequently complications. * Assess the perceived usefulness of professionals, regarding to the pedagogical engineering of educational interventions offered to nursing mothers. * Assess women's competency regarding to the educational interventions for breastfeeding management and its frequently complications. * Evaluate the organization of educational interventions proposed by professionals. Method \& Results: The results will be obtained by calculating the mean, standard deviation, median and interquartile range. The Chi-square and Yates' uncorrected and corrected tests will be applied for comparison calculation. Evaluating criteria for feeling of usefulness and breastfeeding competency will be studied using Likert's four level model, 10-Point numerical scales and short answer questions. The relationships between these variables will be studied by using a sequential mixed method combining interpretative, comprehensive, and explanatory approach.
