Effectiveness of Intervention Methods on Exclusive Breastfeeding among Antenatal and Postnatal Mothers: A Systematic Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: The universal truth surrounding the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding has seldom been disputed. However, the success of exclusive breastfeeding has not been guaranteed despite the availability of numerous in- terventions. The objective of this study is to review the effectiveness of various breastfeeding promotion education delivery methods in promoting exclusive breastfeeding. Design: A systematic search of leading databases was con- ducted for scholarly peer-reviewed randomized trials published between January 2014 and May 2019. Data sources: Eight articles were identified as relevant, all were published in English and assessed exclusive breastfeeding. Review Methods: Articles were analyzed for overall quality of evidence using the PEDro Scale. Results: A significant increase in the duration of exclusive breastfeeding was found in seven of the eight studies, with three interventions using com- bination verbal and written delivery methods and four interventions delivered verbally. Conclusion: Verbal delivery method was the most effective method and many studies use combination method of verbal and written to achieve the objective of their studies.
