This descriptive survey study assessed the breastfeeding knowledge of junior and senior baccalaureate nursing students (N=80) who had successfully completed their obstetric nursing course. With a possible perfect knowledge score of 100, participants' scores ranged from 35 to 85 with a sample mean score of 60. Surprisingly, most (85%) did not know that breastfeeding is recommended for the first year of an infant's life, and only five participants knew the proper management of mastitis. Well over one third (41.3%) of the participants opposed breastfeeding in public. Findings reveal the need to strengthen both the didactic and clinical components of the obstetric course curriculum. The acquisition of breastfeeding knowledge at the student level will better equip novice nurses to provide more effective breastfeeding counsel and support for childbearing women and to promote the achievement of the breastfeeding objectives of both the United States and the World Health Organization.
这项描述性调查研究评估了已成功完成产科护理课程的护理学学士低年级和高年级学生（N = 80）的母乳喂养知识。满分100分的情况下，参与者的得分在35至85分之间，样本平均分为60分。令人惊讶的是，大多数人（85%）不知道婴儿出生后的第一年建议进行母乳喂养，只有五名参与者了解乳腺炎的正确处理方法。超过三分之一（41.3%）的参与者反对在公共场所进行母乳喂养。研究结果表明，有必要加强产科课程的理论教学和临床教学环节。在学生层面获取母乳喂养知识，将使新手护士更好地为育龄妇女提供更有效的母乳喂养咨询和支持，并促进实现美国和世界卫生组织的母乳喂养目标。
