Background: The main indicator of the degree of public health is the infant mortality
rate (IMR). Exclusive breastfeeding program policy aims to reduce IMR in Indonesia.
In connection with efforts to increase exclusive breastfeeding, the role of a
breastfeeding counselor is needed to provide health education about the importance of
breastfeeding for the growth and development of infants and teach in the early stages
how appropriate breastfeeding position and attachment techniques can increase the
success of mothers in breastfeeding.
Research Methods: This study uses a Quasi Experiment method with a Non
Equivalent Control Group Design approach. The sampling technique used purposive
sampling method with a sample of 26 people. The instruments used were
breastfeeding observation sheets and booklets. Collecting data by giving a pre-test to
the experimental group before being given treatment and giving a post-test after being
treated, the control group was given a pre-test and post-test. The data obtained were
analyzed statistically using the Wilcoxon test. Bivariate analysis was used to test the
mean difference in the control and intervention groups using the Mann Whitney Test.
Results: There was an effect of health education with booklet media on the correct
position and attachment of primiparous breastfeeding infants at Dirgahayu Hospital
Samarinda with a p-value of 0.021 <0.05. Booklets are more effective in increasing
the accuracy of position and attachment of primiparous breastfeeding infants and are
good for use as a companion media for leaflets in hospitals.
Conclusions and Suggestions: It is recommended that further researchers develop
research by being able to control for other factors that can influence the success of the
intervention
