Exclusive breastfeeding is one of the most effective ways to meet the nutritional needs of infants in early life. Web-based breastfeeding education platforms offer a modern solution to support primiparous mothers by providing structured, interactive content such as videos, podcasts, and learning assessments. In this study, an educational website was developed to deliver weekly sessions, track progress through quizzes, and send reminders to encourage participation. This study aimed to examine the effect of such a web-based program on the exclusive breastfeeding self-efficacy of primiparous mothersin Iran.
This research was a semi-experimental study conducted with 70 primiparous women visiting healthcare centers in Zahedan city in 2024. The intervention group used a website designed by the researcher for 8 sessions. This website contained information and expert advice on breastfeeding and correct breastfeeding techniques. The data collection tool was the Dennis Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale, which was completed at two stages: pre-test and post-test (3 weeks after the intervention). The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 27.
The average age of mothers in the intervention group was 24.85 ± 5.49 years, and in the control group, it was 26.22 ± 4.65 years. Before the intervention, breastfeeding self-efficacy scores in the intervention and control groups were 30.42 ± 6.49 and 32.82 ± 4.30, respectively. After the intervention, the self-efficacy scores increased to 36.45 ± 5.73 in the intervention group and 32.88 ± 4.29 in the control group. In fact, web-based breastfeeding education significantly increased breastfeeding self-efficacy in the intervention group (p < 0.001).
The results of this study indicate that breastfeeding education websites can have a significant impact on the breastfeeding self-efficacy of primiparous mothers in the context of exclusive breastfeeding. By providing accurate and scientific information, these websites help mothers approach breastfeeding with greater confidence. It is recommended that these websites be included in supportive programs for pregnant primiparous women.
纯母乳喂养是满足婴儿早期营养需求的最有效方法之一。基于网络的母乳喂养教育平台提供了一种现代解决方案，通过提供视频、播客和学习评估等结构化互动内容来支持初产妇。在本研究中，开发了一个教育网站，用于提供每周课程、通过测验跟踪进展情况，并发送提醒以鼓励参与。本研究旨在探讨这样一个基于网络的项目对伊朗初产妇纯母乳喂养自我效能感的影响。
本研究是一项半实验性研究，于2024年对70名在扎黑丹市医疗中心就诊的初产妇进行。干预组使用研究人员设计的网站进行8次课程学习。该网站包含有关母乳喂养和正确母乳喂养技巧的信息及专家建议。数据收集工具是丹尼斯母乳喂养自我效能量表，在两个阶段完成：干预前测试和干预后测试（干预3周后）。使用SPSS 27版对收集的数据进行分析。
干预组母亲的平均年龄为24.85±5.49岁，对照组为26.22±4.65岁。干预前，干预组和对照组的母乳喂养自我效能感得分分别为30.42±6.49和32.82±4.30。干预后，干预组的自我效能感得分增至36.45±5.73，对照组为32.88±4.29。事实上，基于网络的母乳喂养教育显著提高了干预组的母乳喂养自我效能感（p<0.001）。
本研究结果表明，母乳喂养教育网站在纯母乳喂养背景下可对初产妇的母乳喂养自我效能感产生重大影响。通过提供准确科学的信息，这些网站帮助母亲更自信地进行母乳喂养。建议将这些网站纳入初产妇孕妇支持项目。
