Abstract

Background: Breast feeding problems are one of the common postpartum problems
that occur especially among primpara women. Aim: is to evaluate effect of prenatal
educational program on knowledge and self-care practices regarding prevention of
breast problems among lactating primiparous women. Design: a quasi-experimental
research design (one group pre-test, post-test) was employed. Setting: This study was
carried up at Tanta University Hospitals' obstetrics outpatient clinic and two MCH
centers (Botros and Embaby centers) in Tanta City, Gharbia Governorate. Subjects:
Purposive sample comprised of (100) primipara women during third trimester,
intended to breastfeed their infants, free from any breast problems and accepting to
participate in the study. Tools: For this study's data collection, three instruments were
used: Tool I: A-self-administrative questionnaire which composed of two parts, part
I: socio-demographic characteristics of the studied women, Reproductive
history of the studied women, tool II: Knowledge assessment tool which composed of
two parts, part I: knowledge of primipara women about breast feeding
characteristics, primipara women's knowledge about breast feeding problems
and tool III: women's self-care practices regarding prevention of breast problems.
Results: The relationship between practices and knowledge was statistically
significant (p 0.001*), More than one-third (37%) of the women studied had poor
knowledge prior to intervention, but the majority (85%) had good knowledge after
intervention. There was also a statistically significant positive correlation between the
studied women's knowledge and their practices after the prenatal educational
program. Conclusion: Following the implementation of prenatal educational
program, scores of knowledge and self-care practices improved significantly.
Recommendations: It can be recommended that creating antenatal educational
programs for all primiparous women to improve their understanding of breast issues
and self-care practices was required.
