Official title
Comparison of Teaching Interventions to Improve Breastfeeding Among Mothers of Infants In Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Brookdale Hospital Medical Center
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Investigators plan to include mother-infant couplets admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit(NICU) at Brookdale Hospital for clinical reasons during one year period 1/2018-1/2019. Participants whose infants have health conditions that will not allow breastfeeding, not able to read or understand English and/or participants refusing to provide phone numbers, an email address or mail address for future communication will not be included in the study. After obtaining an informed consent, participants will be allocated to one of the four study groups by randomization and participants will receive either no education or one of the verbal/written/video education at two different time points: within 4 days and at 2 weeks from the time of birth of the infant. Participants whose infants are in NICU and are feeding expressed breastmilk will be instructed to bring all the expressed breastmilk to NICU and to keep records of the date, time and the amount of expressed breastmilk in the log book maintained at the bedside of the infant. Participants who are directly feeding the infant on breast will be contacted by third personnel who is blind to which study group the participant belongs to qualitatively evaluate breast feeding in terms of frequency, duration, exclusive breast feeding at 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 6 weeks from the time of birth. Participants will be requested not to reveal the study team about the mode of teaching method she has received when she is contacted at 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 6 weeks for the evaluation of the breast feeding. Investigators will also go through the medical records of participants and their infants to collect some demographic data and clinical characteristics pertinent for the study such as age, parity, weight of the infant. Thus, investigators plan to compare the breast-feeding outcome quantitatively among participants who are feeding expressed breast milk and qualitatively as duration/exclusive breast-feeding among participants who are feeding directly on breast following three different teaching interventions: written or verbal or video and find out the most effective method of teaching intervention
