Özet
Objective: Breastfeeding is essential for mother and baby health. An effective breastfeeding counseling ensures a healthy breastfeeding period. Midwives must learn comprehensively in their undergraduate education to gain all the necessary qualifications for this counseling. This study, it is aimed to compare the effect of breastfeeding counseling courses given to undergraduate students of the midwifery department on pre-and post-education information situations.
Methods: The study was conducted in an experimental, single group pre-test-post-test design. This study was conducted with 91 students studying at a university from January to December 2020. Two hours of lessons per week were given for 14 weeks. A course included breast anatomy and physiology, breastfeeding methods, positions, breastfeeding indications, and contraindications. In the analysis of the information obtained, significance was accepted as p<0.05.
Results: Many of the participants are in the third grade, on average 21 years old, and 93.3% of them have not received breastfeeding counseling training before. It was determined that breastfeeding training should be given during pregnancy and breastfeeding counseling should be given as a separate course in the curriculum.
Conclusion: In this study, it was concluded that breastfeeding counseling should be given as a separate course in undergraduate education. Thus, effective training can be provided in their professional lives.
