Abstrakt: Objective: To evaluate the change of knowledge in nurses attending an eighteen-hour lactation course at the General Hospital of Mexico.
Material and Methods: The study was conducted from May 1996 to May 1997 and consisted of a breastfeeding training course and pre and post-test course evaluations of nurse participants. One-hundred-and-forty out of 152 nurses were trained and evaluated. Statistical analysis consisted of a paired t-test and analysis of variance.
Results: Of 152 nurses attending the course, 140 (92%) completed pre and post-course evaluations. Global results of pre and post-tests were 5.39 +/- 1.37 and 7.74 +/- 0.79, (p < 0.001). The difference was still significant after we compared the instruction level of participants. There was a trend towards a higher level of instruction among those with higher knowledge on lactation in the post-course evaluation (p = 0.004).
Conclusions: An 18-hour course given to nurses significantly increased in knowledge on lactation.
