Effects of Health Education Based on LEARNS Model on Parenting Competence and Breastfeed-ing of Primiparas
Objective To explore the effects of the health education based on LEARNS model on the par-enting competence and breastfeeding of primiparas.Methods Convenient sampling method was used to se-lect 130 primiparas admitted to two wards of the department of obstetrics of a hospital in Anhui Province from March 2023 to June 2023.65 primiparas admitted from March to April 2023 were selected as the con-trol group and the routine health education was used.65 primiparas admitted from May to June 2023 were selected as the observation group and the health education based on LEARNS model was adopted.The par-enting competence,breastfeeding,and postpartum depression were compared between the two groups.Re-sults The total score of postpartum parenting competence and the scores of each dimension of primiparas in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05);the success rate of the first breastfeeding of primiparas and the rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the first 42 days postpartum in the observation group were higher than those of the control group(all P<0.05);and the score of the de-pression scale of primiparas in the observation group in the first 7 days postpartum was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusions The health education based on LEARNS model can improve the parenting competence of primiparas,improve their breastfeeding,and reduce their postpartum depression.
