Abstract

This quasi-experimental research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a model to promote exclusive breastfeeding at 6 months in the community of Sakon Nakhon Hospital. The 30 informants proposively selected to collaborate in developing the model. The 60 participants were randomly chosen to take part in the program for a duration of six months. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, T-tests.
The research findings indicated that the average age of samples were 26.9 years. The brainstorming concepts created an innovative structure for encouraging exclusive breastfeeding for a duration of 6 months, including active involvement from the community. Therefore, the evaluation of the model revealed a substantial increase in knowledge, breastfeeding behaviors for a duration of 6 months, and breast milk flow score level (p< 0.01). In summary, the implementation of the family participation and community leaders approach can effectively enhance the exclusive breastfeeding in postpartum mothers.
