Nurses show limited breastfeeding knowledge. While education and personal experience didn't consistently predict this, greater clinical experience, including leadership and varied maternal/newborn roles, correlated with better breastfeeding knowledge.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Public Health
  • Maternal and Child Health

Background:

  • Breastfeeding is crucial for infant and maternal health.
  • Nurses play a vital role in supporting breastfeeding mothers.
  • Assessing nurses' knowledge is essential for improving care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey nurses' current knowledge of breastfeeding.
  • To determine if education, clinical experience, or personal experience predict breastfeeding knowledge.

Main Methods:

  • Survey methodology was employed.
  • Data collected on nurses' education, clinical experience, and personal breastfeeding experience.
  • Statistical analysis used to identify predictors of breastfeeding knowledge.

Main Results:

  • Nurses demonstrated limited knowledge regarding breastfeeding practices and recommendations.
  • No single factor consistently predicted breastfeeding knowledge across all participants.
  • Clinical experience, particularly leadership roles and diverse maternal/newborn experience, showed a positive correlation with higher knowledge levels.

Conclusions:

  • There is a need to enhance breastfeeding education for nurses.
  • Clinical experience appears to be a significant factor in building breastfeeding knowledge.
  • Further research should explore effective strategies for improving nurses' breastfeeding expertise.
