Findings suggest that by providing up-to-date evidenced-based
practice (EBP) educa
tional materials for both staff and families greatly
contribute to improving BF educational support and knowledge [20].
Educational practice site staff in-services were conducted to improve
all HCP’s general BF knowledge, program intervention awareness,
establishment of a staff BF Champions team, and distribution of
new educational materials. On-going office support was provided
on how to translate their lactation care into the Tri-Core model
approach and incorporate the ABM’s EBP clinical protocols [1,30].
Offices were able to immediately disseminate newfound knowledge
to fostering breastfeeding education and promotion among patients.
Lastly, specific strategies to support a mother’s self-efficacy levels were
integrated into the design by identifying common barriers and issues
often encountered early on that interfere with successful outcomes.
