Abstract
(type = abstract)
A plethora of research has been conducted regarding nurses and their impact in reference to their breastfeeding patients. It has been proven that mothers tend to follow the instructions given to them by their nurses about taking care of their young ones. First time mothers are often unequipped with the correct information and primarily depend on their caregivers to learn what is required about motherhood and infant parenting. Research has shown that nurses have a great influence on mother’s decision making about their infants, yet are not always supportive and encouraging due to poor attitudes and lack and knowledge.
Purpose of Project: This DNP project aims at improving nurses’ attitudes and knowledge towards breast feeding through an online training module. The benefits of breastfeeding are crucial to both the mothers and infants and would greatly reduce the cost medical care by avoiding some diseases that result from inadequate breastfeeding.
Methodology:
Study population- Registered Nurses who are currently enrolled as DNP students at Rutgers University.
Recruited virtually via recruitment emails.
Participation is totally voluntary and identities of all students will be kept concealed.
Participants reserve the right to withdrawal from the study at any time.
Intended sample size is 20 participants.
Setting (Virtually completed)
Participants will have approximately 48 hours to complete the pre-survey, 2 weeks to complete the online breastfeeding education module and after 48 hours to complete the post-survey.
Results:
The data collected includes pre- and post-test scores from 20 program participants (n=20).
The mean pre-test score (PreIIFAS) for participants’ score on the Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale was 62.3 (sd 8.46), while the mean post-test score (PostIIFAS) was 79.65 (sd 6.99). The mean change in test scores was 17.35 (sd 6.37).
These results indicate that participants breastfeeding knowledge and attitude increased significantly as a result of the breast feeding intervention program.
Implications:
Utilization of breastfeeding education modules promote advanced knowledge and better attitudes regarding breastfeeding.
Contributions to positive breastfeeding experiences/outcomes
Contribution to maternal, neonatal, and pediatric outcomes
Aid the nation in saving approximately $3 billion dollars annually from cost related to early/premature weaning of breastfeeding
