Abstract

The purpose of this research and development (R&D) was to design and develop a breast model for teaching manual breast milk expression among maternal postpartum and evaluate the quality of the model. The study was divided into two parts; 1) design and development process of the breast model. and 2) evaluating the quality of the breast model. The samples were 34 maternal postpartum at 24-72 hours in the postpartum unit at Chiang Rai province during November 2018-March 2019. The instruments were a personal information questionnaire and quality evaluation of breast model form, which showed the content validity index of 1. The evaluation form showed the reliability of Cronbach’s alpha efficiency of 0.92. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.

Results of the study showed that; 1) the breast model consisted of two pieces; one being an anatomical both the external and internal of breast model. And the second piece is a rubber breast model, a hole at a nipple, wear over a bottle covered in a synthetic cloth stuffed with fiber, and there is an elastic band at the neck of the milk bottle. To be soft and able to real manual breast milk expression. And 2) The quality of the breast model has a high average score ( equation = 4.45, S.D. = 0.45), and each of the quality of breast model in the real situation is the same as the step of testing.
