NCT ID NCT07657819
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looked at whether teaching new mothers about breastfeeding through digital storytelling (short videos or narrated stories) helps them breastfeed more successfully and feel more confident. A total of 216 postpartum women took part, with half receiving digital storytelling education and the other half getting standard hospital teaching. Researchers measured breastfeeding self-efficacy and success after the education.
