Abstract:
The presentation will focus on the development and implementation of an action-research-based breastfeeding guidance program aimed at improving maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy. Using action research, the program was constructed, refined, and evaluated through iterative cycles involving literature review, expert consultation, and practical feedback. A total of 72 postpartum women were divided into control and intervention groups across two cycles. The intervention included personalized education, continuous bedside guidance, and extended post-discharge support. Results demonstrated that while the exclusive breastfeeding rate did not show significant improvement, maternal self-efficacy scores were markedly higher in intervention groups compared to the control group. The program’s participatory and adaptable framework effectively addressed maternal needs, enhanced confidence, and promoted sustained breastfeeding practices. This study highlights the potential for action-research-based methods to bridge the gap between evidence and clinical application, offering valuable insights for future maternal and neonatal care initiatives.
