Structured teaching program, knowledge, practices, working women, expressed breastmilk feeding and storage.

It is a well-known fact that breastfeeding is the best method of feeding babies both nutritionally and emotionally. WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for babies up to 6 months for optimal growth and health and to continue breastfeeding till 2 years or longer if the mother and child are willing. The commonest obstacle today is maternal employment. Breastfeeding is undoubtedly the best form of feeding. Breast milk is the best nutritional choice for infants, and it is possible to administer it even in the absence of the mother during feeds by pumping, storing and using it as and when required. The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching program on knowledge and practices of storage and feeding of expressed breastmilk among working women and to determine the association between pre-test knowledge and practice scores of working mothers with selected socio-demographic variables. Methods: Sixty participants from the selected schools and offices from Kamrup, Metro were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Socio-demographic Performa and structured knowledge questionnaire and structured practice checklist were administered followed by a structured teaching program on storage and use of expressed breastmilk. The post-test was conducted after a week. Data was analyzed by using the software package SPSS 26 version. Results: The findings of the study revealed that most of the working women 66.7% had moderate knowledge, 33.3% had inadequate knowledge; 51.7% of the women had average practices and 48.3% had poor practices before the teaching was administered. After the teaching was administered 83.3% had adequate knowledge, 16.7% had moderate knowledge; 88.3% had good practices and 11.7% had average practices. The mean pre-test scores for knowledge were 6.5 and practices were 8.9; the mean post-test scores for knowledge were 11.83 and practices were 17.17. the t-test value for knowledge (t59 =11.56 at df=59 p<0.05) and t-test value for practice (t59 =19.88 at df=59 p<0.05) was highly significant at 0.05 level of significance which shows that structured teaching program was effective in improving knowledge and practices regarding expression and storage of expressed breastmilk among working women. There was a statistically significant association found between pre-test knowledge and practice scores with the age of the mother and the educational status of the mother regarding storage and use of expressed breastmilk. Conclusion: This study revealed that the structured teaching program was effective in improving the knowledge and practices of working women in relation to the storage and use of expressed breastmilk so that they can effectively manage the nutrition of their child even when they are working.
