Empower Breastfeeding Education Program

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study results of integrated breastfeeding education program (IBEP) will guide in designing a theory-based breastfeeding educational module on promotion of optimal breastfeeding practice in new mother and her partner. The current novel education curriculum incorporated breastfeeding simulation, mindfulness training, and professional support will provide important information in supporting use of IBEP in enhancing participants self-efficacy. This study will show on how simulation teaching and mindfulness training can be utilized in the field of perinatal teaching to achieve better health outcomes.

Clinical Trial Description

To achieve optimal breastfeeding practice, the development of an integrated breastfeeding education program (IBEP) which incorporates simulation education, mindfulness training, professional support targeting the self-efficacy of participants is of vital importance. A randomized controlled trial of an integrated breastfeeding education program focusing on participants will be designed with two study objectives: 1) to evaluate the effects of IBEP on the primary outcome measures of breastfeeding practice as following: a) early initiation of breastfeeding, b) exclusive breastfeeding rate, c) predominate breastfeeding rate; 2) to examine the effects of IBEP on the secondary outcome measures, psychosocial correlates of exclusive breastfeeding including a) breastfeeding self-efficacy, b)anxiety, c) depression, d) mindful awareness e) infant feeding attitude. These objectives will be examined among participants in six time periods: a) during pregnancy 24 to 32 weeks education program b) 34 to 40 weeks of pregnancy (after class or third trimester), c)1 week, d) 4weeks, d) 3 months, e) 6 months postpartum, while the indicators of breastfeeding practice will be examined at the four periods following delivery.

It is hypothesized that 1) the intervention will result in a better effect on all primary outcome measures, as compared to those in the control group. Specifically, participants in IBEP group will show 10 % or greater difference in exclusive breastfeeding rates at six months than participants in the control group, 2) participants in the IBEP group will demonstrate larger effects on breastfeeding self-efficacy and mindfulness, and lower anxiety and depression than those in the control group. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
