Effect of a Self-Efficacy-Based Educational Intervention on Breastfeending in Primigravid Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of a self-efficacy-based educational intervention on exclusive breastfeeding among primigravid women attending a primary care center in Mexico. Participants in the intervention group will receive four weekly educational sessions focused on breastfeeding knowledge, self-efficacy, problem-solving skills, and emotional support during the third trimester of pregnancy. The control group will receive standard prenatal care. Breastfeeding self-efficacy and exclusive breastfeeding rates will be evaluated during postpartum follow-up at 1 and 3 months after delivery.
