ItemThe Effects of Breast Self-Examination Program on Knowledge and Perceived Self-Efficacy among Female Nursing Students in a Private University( 2013) Patrabul NaksusukAim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of an intervention program on knowledge and perceived self-efficacy of breast self-examination among private university female nursing students. Design and methods: One group pre-test/post-test research design was implemented to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention program for nursing students. The program was instructed to 31 nursing students in a private university by researcher. Pre- and post-tests made available a quantitative evaluation of the level of improvement in breast self-examination knowledge and perceived self-efficacy. Results: Mean of the total breast self-examination score of nursing students prior to the program was 7.19 SD 1.64 whereas, it increased to 9.13 SD 0.81, revealing a statistically significant escalation (p < 0.0001 ). A significant increase was detected in the perceived self-efficacy of breast self- examination practice as a result of the significant improvement in the mean of perceived self- efficacy of breast self-examination score which rose evidently from 58.52 SD 18.00 to 81.48 SD 15.65 (p < 0.0001 ). Conclusion: The intervention program improved the knowledge and perceived self-efficacy of breast self-examination in nursing students of a private university. The further study should be expanded to female university students in Thailand and performed booster including evaluation the program's effectiveness over the long -term.

ItemA Randomized Controlled Trial of Knowledge Sharing Practice with Empowerment Strategies in Pregnant Women to Improve Exclusive Breastfeeding during the First Six Months Postpartum( 2013-05-31) Jutamas Kupratakul ; Surasak Taneepanichskul ; Nipunporn Voramongkol ; Vorapong PhupongThe objective of the study was to investigate whether a Knowledge Sharing Practices with Empowerment Strategic (KSPES) program on antenatal education and postnatal support strategies in experimental group improves the rates of 6 months exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months postpartum compared with Routine Standard Knowledge of Breastfeeding Techniques (RSKBT) in control group. A randomized controlled trial was conducted. Pregnant women of more than 32 weeks’ gestation were randomly assigned to receive a routine standard knowledge of breastfeeding techniques alone (control group) or with KSPES on antenatal education and postnatal support strategies (experimental group). The primary outcome was proportion of exclusive breastfeeding at 6 months postpartum. The secondary outcomes were proportion at 7 days, 14 days, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 months postpartum. The results indicated that proportion of exclusive breastfeeding in the experimental group were significantly higher than the control group at 14 days (82.5% vs 52.6%, P<0.005), 1 month (77.5% vs 52.6%, P=0.021), 2 months (62.5% vs 36.8%, P=0.023), 4 months (35.0% vs 7.9%, P=0.008), 5 months (25.0% vs 2.6%, P=0.012) and 6 months postpartum (20.0% vs 0%, P=0.005). KSPES program on antenatal education and postnatal support strategies significantly improved rates of exclusive breastfeeding at 6 months postpartum. These strategies also significantly improved rates of exclusive breastfeeding at 14 days, 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 months postpartum.
