Abstract
Breast milk provides the optimal food for infants. Promoting breastfeeding through social support It is a factor that influences the success of breastfeeding. The purpose of this systematic review was to study the effectiveness of promoting breastfeeding through social support in pregnant and/or postpartum women. A comprehensive search was performed on all published and unpublished randomized controlled trial and quasi-experimental studies in Thai and English from 2009 to 2020. The systematic review was conducted using a systematic guideline developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) (1). An Appraisal Form and Data Extract Form developed by JBI were used for this systematic review. Two quasi-experimental studies met the review inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis could not be applied as these studies were dissimilar in terms of types of intervention and measuring outcomes. Instead, a narrative summarization was used.
The findings of this study indicated that: the effectiveness of promoting breastfeeding through social support depended on the support in all 4 sides: 1) emotional support, 2) appraisal support, 3) informational support, and 4) material and service support. Both individual and group promotion can have a positive effect on breastfeeding and continuous promotion from pregnancy to postpartum can increase the success of breastfeeding and breastfeeding behavior. The findings in this systematic review suggest that breastfeeding should be promoted through individual or group social support during pregnancy until the postpartum period. In addition, primary research should be experimental research. Specifically, randomized studies and additional control groups, to further confirm the results of a socially supportive breastfeeding promotion approach.
