Effectiveness of a Home-based Peer Support Program for Chinese Mothers With Low Breastfeeding Self-efficacy to Increase the Exclusivity and Duration of Breastfeeding: a Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Online Home-based peer support for Breastfeeding. Completed, enrolled 442 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
An online home-based breastfeeding peer support programme is proposed to support mothers who are giving birth to their first-born. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this programme in improving breastfeeding practices among women with low breastfeeding self-efficacy. It is hypothesized that participants who received online home-based peer support will exclusively breastfeed for longer duration, have higher breastfeeding self-efficacy, and lower post-partum depression symptoms when compared to those receiving only standard care.
