Abstract:
This article aims to investigate the effect of training based on Pender's model on health promotion behaviours in breastfeeding mothers. Methodology In this quasi-experimental interventional study, 97 breastfeeding mothers referred to Fasa clinics were randomly studied in two case (n=48) and control (n=49) groups. To collect data, Walker et al's health promotion lifestyle questionnaire, including 52 questions, was used. After distributing the questionnaires in the first stage, the case group received five sessions of training. Data analysis was performed using SPSS20 software and independent t-test and paired t-test. Results According to the results, the highest and lowest scores were related to the areas of spiritual growth (23.29±6.16 before training and 24.65±6.56 after training) and interpersonal relationships (4.70±1.57 before training and 1.57±1.76 after training), respectively. In all six areas, a significant increase was found in scores after the training in the case group or between the case and control groups. Conclusion With this small sample and just one month training, the researchers demonstrated that it is possible to make changes in all areas of health. This can not only have an immediate effect but also a ‘snowball effect’ down the generations, through mother-children transfer, as well as mother-to-other family members transfer.
