MINDFULNESS-BASED BREASTFEEDING EDUCATION PROGRAM (MIND-BF)
EFFECT OF MINDFULNESS-BASED BREASTFEEDING EDUCATION PROGRAM ON BREASTFEEDING OUTCOMES IN MOTHERS NOT EXCLUSIVELY BREASTFEEDING: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL
調査の概要
詳細な説明
Breastfeeding is one of the most important practices for improving maternal and infant health. However, many mothers experience difficulties maintaining exclusive breastfeeding during the postpartum period. Psychological stress, anxiety, low breastfeeding confidence, and difficulties adapting to motherhood may negatively affect breastfeeding behaviors and contribute to early supplementation with formula or other foods.
Mindfulness-based approaches have been increasingly used to support maternal psychological well-being and health-related behaviors. These approaches aim to increase awareness of present-moment experiences in a non-judgmental manner and may help mothers engage more consciously in the breastfeeding process. Previous studies suggest that mindfulness-based interventions may improve maternal coping, emotional regulation, and breastfeeding experiences. However, evidence regarding their effectiveness among mothers who are not exclusively breastfeeding remains limited.
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of a mindfulness-based breastfeeding education program on breastfeeding awareness, breastfeeding self-efficacy, and exclusive breastfeeding rates among postpartum mothers who are not exclusively breastfeeding. Participants are randomly assigned to either a mindfulness-based breastfeeding education group or a control group receiving routine postpartum care. The intervention includes structured breastfeeding education combined with mindfulness-based practices conducted over four weeks. Outcomes are assessed at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and during follow-up assessments postpartum.

実験的：Mindfulness-Based Breastfeeding Education Group
Participants received a 4-week mindfulness-based breastfeeding education program consisting of two individual sessions per week (50-60 minutes each) delivered by a trained midwife.
The program combined breastfeeding education with mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques (breathing meditation, body scan, sitting meditation, mountain meditation, and loving-kindness meditation).
Practical breastfeeding training was supported using a doll and breast model.
Participants also received audio-guided mindfulness exercises and a mindful movement/yoga video for daily home practice, in addition to routine postpartum care.

Mindful Breastfeeding Scale
時間枠：Baseline, 4th week postpartum, 4th month postpartum
|
This is a 9-item measurement tool designed to assess awareness-based breastfeeding practices during the postpartum period.
The scale is unidimensional and was developed using a 5-point Likert scale.
Responses to the scale items range from "always" to "never."
The total score on the scale ranges from 9 to 45, and as the total score increases, the level of awareness regarding breastfeeding also increases.
