The rate of breastfeeding among immigrant Vietnamese women in Western countries is low compared to those in Vietnam. To counteract this trend, a language and culture specific education program was developed. An experimental design was used to test the effectiveness of this program. The sample consisted of 182 prenatal Vietnamese women. Data collection included questionnaires and interviews. Results suggested that the education program had significant effects on knowledge, attitudes, planned and actual behaviour towards breastfeeding. However, the effect did not sustain until 6 months postpartum. Implications for nursing practice and further research are discussed.
与越南本国的女性相比，西方国家的越南移民女性母乳喂养率较低。为了扭转这一趋势，开发了一个针对特定语言和文化的教育项目。采用实验设计来测试该项目的有效性。样本包括182名越南产前女性。数据收集包括问卷调查和访谈。结果表明，该教育项目对母乳喂养的知识、态度、计划行为和实际行为产生了显著影响。然而，这种影响在产后6个月时并未持续。文中讨论了对护理实践和进一步研究的启示。
