Summary
This review synthesizes interprofessional breastfeeding curricula for health students. It aims to guide the development of future Interprofessional Education (IPE) in breastfeeding care to improve maternal support.
Area of Science:
- Health Professions Education
- Interprofessional Education
- Breastfeeding Support
Background:
- Effective breastfeeding care and support from healthcare professionals are crucial for maternal and infant well-being.
- Consistent, high-quality breastfeeding support necessitates comprehensive, evidence-based education for all healthcare professionals.
- Current understanding of interprofessional breastfeeding curricula in undergraduate health programs, particularly within Interprofessional Education (IPE) frameworks, is limited.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review and summarize existing interprofessional breastfeeding curricula designed for undergraduate or pre-registration health students.
- To inform the development of future Interprofessional Education (IPE) curricula focused on enhancing breastfeeding care.
- To identify best practices and gaps in current interprofessional breastfeeding education initiatives.
Main Methods:
- A scoping review methodology will be employed, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method primary studies, as well as evidence syntheses.
- Searches will be conducted in major databases (Medline, CINAHL, ERIC, Social Sciences, Cochrane) from 2005 to the present, supplemented by grey literature searches.
- Two independent reviewers will screen titles, abstracts, and full texts, with data extraction and graphical presentation of findings.
Main Results:
- The review will synthesize findings on the content, delivery methods, and outcomes of interprofessional breastfeeding curricula.
- Identified curricula will be analyzed for their effectiveness in preparing health students for interprofessional collaboration in breastfeeding support.
- Gaps in the literature and areas for future curriculum development will be highlighted.
Conclusions:
- This review will provide a comprehensive overview of interprofessional breastfeeding education for undergraduate health students.
- Findings will guide the creation of robust IPE programs to improve the quality of breastfeeding care provided by future healthcare professionals.
- Enhanced interprofessional training is essential for optimizing breastfeeding outcomes and maternal-child health.
