Abstract
This quasi-experimental research aimed to compare the success of exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months in postpartum Muslim mothers between the group receiving the educative program using multimedia learning and the group receiving standard nursing care. The sample comprised postpartum Muslim mothers who gave birth at Kapho Hospital in Pattani Province. A random selection was used to recruit a sample of 52 Muslim postpartum mothers. They were assigned to a control group and an experimental group with 26 Muslim postpartum mothers each. The control group received conventional nursing care, while the experimental group received a multimedia application program for 6 months. Research instruments for data collection included demographic questionnaires, questionnaires assessing knowledge, and breastfeeding assessment skills. The validity index of research tools was 0.67 - 1, the knowledge questionnaire demonstrated a KR-20 reliability coefficient of 0.94 and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of breastfeeding assessment skills was 0.95. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, independent t-test, paired t-test, and Chi-square test. The results showed that: (1) The average scores of the knowledge and exclusive breastfeeding skills after receiving the multimedia application program increased than before the intervention, at a statistically significant level (p < .05); (2) The average scores of the knowledge and exclusive breastfeeding skills after receiving the multimedia application program were higher than those in the control group, at a statistically significant level (p < .05); and (3) The experimental group was more successful in exclusive breastfeeding than the control group after receiving the multimedia application program, at a statistically significant level (p < .05). These findings suggest that the educative program using multimedia learning should be implemented in maternal nursing care during labor and postpartum periods to increase knowledge, cultivate positive attitudes, and increase skills for exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months.
