Peningkatan Sikap Tentang Pemberian ASI melalui Couple Class

Abstract

Husband is a driving factor for breastfeeding. So far, education has often focused on pregnant women. One alternative solution to this problem is through the existence of a couple class. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of the couples class in increasing attitudes about breastfeeding. The design of this research was pretest-posttest with control group. Respondents were 50 third trimester pregnant women and their partners, in two groups, each consisting of 25 people. The intervention group was given treatment in the form of a couple class. The control group received treatment according to the SOP in force at PMB. Attitudes were measured through filling out a questionnaire. Differences in attitude improvement between the two groups were analyzed using an independent sample t-test. The results of the analysis showed a value of p = 0.000, so it was interpreted that there were differences in attitude improvement between the intervention group and the control group. It was concluded that the couples class was effective in increasing attitudes about breastfeeding.
