Nurs Educ Perspect. 2023 Sep 19. doi: 10.1097/01.NEP.0000000000001191. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBreast milk feeding is vital to the health outcomes of the breastfeeding dyad. Nurses have a significant role to promote, educate, and support breastfeeding practices for breastfeeding dyads in diverse settings. Nurses should also promote breastfeeding awareness to normalize breastfeeding as the optimal food for infants. This pilot study investigated the effects of a basic breastfeeding educational module on the breastfeeding attitudes of prelicensure nursing students. There was a statistically significant change in attitudes from pretest and posttest. Developing a comprehensive breastfeeding module is a significant step to standardize education and promote breastfeeding best practices.PMID:37725496 | DOI:10.1097/01.NEP.0000000000001191
