Nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward breastfeeding in neonatal care: a survey

Neonatal nurses exhibited positive attitudes but moderate knowledge and practice levels regarding breastfeeding, with targeted gaps in evidence-based care and parental education. These findings highlight the need for tailored training programs-prioritizing younger nurses, those with less experience, lower educational/professional titles, and untrained individuals-to enhance breastfeeding-related competence.

Abstract

Neonatal nurses exhibited positive attitudes but moderate knowledge and practice levels regarding breastfeeding, with targeted gaps in evidence-based care and parental education. These findings highlight the need for tailored training programs-prioritizing younger nurses, those with less experience, lower educational/professional titles, and untrained individuals-to enhance breastfeeding-related competence.
