| description | Background and Objective: The increasing of early discontinuation of exclusive breastfeeding in Iran has been observed in recent years. Enhancing maternal awareness is a pivotal factor in advancing exclusive breastfeeding rates. One of the best teaching methods about health challenges is the health belief model. The primary objective of this study was to determine the impact of an educational intervention grounded in the health belief model on maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy.
Materials and Methods: This research constitutes a randomized controlled clinical trial involving 120 pregnant women who sought care at Qazvin health centers. Through the random allocation method of 4 blocks, the participants were assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. Commencing from the 36th week of pregnancy, the intervention group underwent 4 virtual breastfeeding training sessions, structured around the principles of the health belief model. Meanwhile, the control group received standard prenatal care. Prior to delivery and at 1, 4, and 6 weeks postpartum, participants completed the breastfeeding self-efficacy questionnaire and health belief model assessments. Data analysis was carried out tilizing SPSS26 software, with a predetermined significance level of 0.05 for all statistical tests.
Results: Following the intervention, a statistically significant difference was noted in the mean values between the two cohorts with regard to the components of the health belief model (p<0.05). Furthermore, the mean self-efficacy ratings during the initial week post-intervention were 52.23±4.65 in the control group and 55.8±4.09 in the experimental group, which was statistically significant (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Educational intervention utilizing the health belief model has demonstrated the potential to enhance the level of breastfeeding self-efficacy among mothers. Consequently, healthcare professionals can consider employing this approach as a dependable and easily accessible educational tool. |
