Objective. This study aimed to determine the effect of educational program on Breastfeeding self-efficacy and duration of exclusive breastfeeding in pregnant women in Ahvaz, Iran. Methods. This randomized controlled trial was conducted on 120 nulliparous pregnant women who tended to breastfeed. The primary self-efficacy scores of samples were measured using Faux and Dennis breastfeeding self-efficacy questionnaire. Women were randomly recruited into two intervention and control groups. Educational program (two training sessions, each lasted two hours) with two days interval was performed for intervention group. One month after delivery, self-efficacy scores were determined. Six months after child birth, duration of exclusive breastfeeding was assessed. Data were analyzed by means of descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings. The breastfeeding self-efficacy in the intervention group increased significantly compared to the control group one month after delivery (123.6 versus 101.7, P < 0.001). The duration of exclusive breastfeeding was significantly higher in the intervention group (5.03 mo versus 2.7 mo, P < 0.001). Also, there was a significant relationship between breastfeeding self-efficacy and duration of exclusive breastfeeding (P < 0.001). Conclusion. The educational program could increase the self-efficacy and exclusive breastfeeding duration of mothers. These results can draw the attention of authorities to the importance of educational programs for mothers regarding the exclusive breastfeeding.
目的。本研究旨在确定教育项目对伊朗阿瓦士孕妇母乳喂养自我效能感及纯母乳喂养持续时间的影响。方法。本随机对照试验针对120名有母乳喂养意愿的初产妇进行。使用福克斯和丹尼斯母乳喂养自我效能感问卷测量样本的初始自我效能感得分。将女性随机分为干预组和对照组。对干预组进行间隔两天的教育项目（两次培训课程，每次持续两小时）。产后一个月，确定自我效能感得分。产后六个月，评估纯母乳喂养持续时间。采用描述性和推断性统计方法分析数据。结果。与对照组相比，干预组产后一个月的母乳喂养自我效能感显著提高（123.6对101.7，P<0.001）。干预组的纯母乳喂养持续时间显著更长（5.03个月对2.7个月，P<0.001）。此外，母乳喂养自我效能感与纯母乳喂养持续时间之间存在显著关系（P<0.001）。结论。该教育项目可提高母亲的自我效能感和纯母乳喂养持续时间。这些结果可引起当局对针对母亲的纯母乳喂养教育项目重要性的关注。
