Abstract
Background and Purpose: Breastfeeding is one of the important principles of the infants health. Breastfeeding in the first six months of birth reduces the infant mortality rate and it protects them against diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of educational intervention based on the developed theory of planned behavior on the performance of the exclusive breastfeeding in primiparouse pregnant women in Kashmarcity in 2016. Methodology:A quasi- experimental research through equivalent-group design was conducted on (ᴺ=100) sample populationwho were selected from primiparouse pregnant women referred to health centers of Kashmar city during 2016. Then,we assigned them in two groups of 50 people: one control group without any intervention and, one experimental group. To analyze the collected data, SPSS (16.0),T-test, paired t-test, regression, correlation,variance analysis, and variance analysis using repeated measurements were employed. A researcher made questionnaire developed based on developed and planned theory of behavior was employed as a research instrument. After verifying its validity and its reliability, all participants filled the questionnaire out. After pretest data analysis, educational content was designed based on the most important predicators components of the developed and planned behavioral theory (attitude, abstract norms, and perceived behavioral control). Then, educational intervention was performed in the experimental group from 32 to 36 weeks of gestation. Both groups completed the researcher made questionnaire again fifteen days after delivery and four months after giving birth, respectively. Findings: The gained results have shown that elements ofattitude, abstract/subjective norms and perceived behavioral control are the most effective predicators of exclusive breastfeeding intent, respectively. In addition, there was nosignificant difference between the mean scores of mothers exclusive breastfeeding intent and mother s age, income and their degree of graduation Comparing two groups after educational intervention/treatment, there was a significant difference between the mean score ofmother s exclusive breastfeeding intent, attitude, abstract norms and perceived behavioral control (P <0/05). In the first four months after delivery, there was a significant difference between the mean of exclusive breastfeeding intent and perceived behavioral control of the experimental group mothers compared to the control group (P <0/05). Also, four months after delivery, 82.6% of experimental group mothers had fed their children only with their own milk, while in the control group it was equal to81.56%. Conclusion: Based on the results, the most important predictors are attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control, respectively. Educationalintervention based on the developed and planned theory of behavior also would be able to increase attitude, perceived behavioral control, abstract/ subjective norms and mother’s breastfeeding performance. Therefore, it is suggested to use this theory in exclusive breastfeeding interventions. Key Words: Breastfeeding, Extended/DevelopedPlanned Behavioral Theory, Primiparouse Women.
