Gamified breastfeeding education boosts Moms' confidence, small study finds
NCT ID NCT06344806
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a gamified digital education program could improve breastfeeding self-efficacy and infant feeding attitudes in pregnant women. 60 first-time mothers in their last trimester were randomly assigned to either the gamified training or standard hospital education. Researchers measured changes in confidence and attitudes before and after the program. The completed trial aims to see if game-based learning is more effective than routine care.
