Assessment Of The Intervention Effect Of Family-centered Empowerment Education On Primiparas’ Breast-feeding Behavior

Objective To evaluate the Interference results of Self efficacy, perceived social support, breast feeding behavior, pure breast feeding rate for family centered empowerment education on primiparas’ breast feeding behavior.Methods Convenience sampling and random control study are adopted as the research methods. Primiparas conducting antenatal examination during July,2014 to February, 2015 in two hospitals of Lu’an, Anhui, namely the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Jin’an District, Lu’an and Lu’an People’s Hospital, are selected as research objects.Inclusion criteria:(1) gestational age is 28-32 weeks; (2) single fetus; (3) local resident from late gestation to 1 month after delivery; (4) age over 18; (5) educational background above primary school level. Exclusion criteria:Primiparas with serious pregnancy complications or incapability of performing breast feeding due to some objective factors.Divide primiparas as required above randomlyinto two groups, namely the experimental group (120 cases) and the control group (124 case) according to the random number table; And family-centered empowerment education is conducted for primiparas in the experimental group. Researchers divide the primiparas in experimental group into groups of 4-6 according to gestational weeks and assign one nurse or midwife to be responsible for training the primiparas and their major caregivers for 8 times on empowerment education related to breast feeding. Training of the first three times (gestational age 28-32 weeks, gestational age 32-37 weeks, gestational age 38-42 weeks) are given in a way of group-learning while the last 5 times (2 hours after delivery,3days after delivery,7 days after delivery,14 days after delivery,28 days after delivery) are conducted in a way of individual instruction. Primiparas in the control group are treated with regular perinatal health care. Eventually, there are 110 cases and 114 cases in the experimental group and control group respectively that completed the experiment. The scores in terms of self-efficacy, perceived social support and breast feeding behavior of primiparas in the two groups of 28 days prior to delivery and 28 days after delivery are then analyzed and compared.Results1.Prior to the invention, there is no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of general information, self-efficacy and perceived social support of breast feeding, being comparable.2.After the invention, scores for primiparas’ breast-feeding self-efficacy and perceived social support in the experimental group are both higher than those before intervention (P<0.05). Score of primiparas in the control group on breast-feeding self-efficacy is higher than those before delivery (P<0.05), and there is no statistical significance in the difference as to scores on perceived social support.3. After the invention, scores on breast feeding self-efficacy, perceived social support and breast feeding behavior as well as the pure breast-feeding rate 28 days after delivery in the experiment group are all higher that those in the control group, displaying statistical significance in the difference (P<0.05)Conclusion1.Family-centered empowerment education could enhance the levels of breast-feeding self-efficacy and perceived social support for primiparas.2. Family-centered empowerment health education could improve primiparas’ breast-feeding behavior.3. Family-centered empowerment health education could enhance primiparas’ pure breast-feeding rate.
