Learning Objective 1: The learner will be able to use clinical nursing practice guideline for promoting breastfeeding.
Learning Objective 2: The learner will be able to compare the exclusive breastfeeding duration rates with other place.
Abstract : The purpose of this study was to compare a group of mothers treated with the clinical nursing
practice guideline for promoting breastfeeding with a group of mothers receiving the usual nursing care. The sample consisted of 500 mothers and their normal newborns who were at the postpartum ward of
Ramathibodi Hospital, during June - October 2009. The sample was assigned into 2 groups: a control group and an experimental group. The control group consisted of 250 mothers and their newborns receiving the usual nursing care. The experimental group consisted of 250 mothers and their newborns
receiving nursing care based on the clinical nursing practice guideline for promoting breastfeeding. The results showed that the breastfeeding duration rates in the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group. It was found that the exclusive breastfeeding duration rates in the
experimental group on discharge, at 2 months, 4 months and 6 months were 90 %, 69.6 %,42.4 and
3.6 % respectively. For the control group it was found that the exclusive breastfeeding duration rates
on discharge, 2 months, 4 months and 6 months were 75 %, 54 %,28 and 2.4 % respectively.
This study suggests that the CNPG is certainly helpful for nurse-midwives to promote breastfeeding.
However, the CNPG for promoting breastfeeding should be implemented with a complete cycle.
