Introduction: Failure to give exclusive breastfeeding is one of the problems
that is commonly found in postpartum mothers, especially in primiparas.
For primiparas, being a mother is a new role that is quite difficult because
it requires an adaptation process on how to split time between taking care
of the baby, husband, and personal needs. Tri-Core Breastfeeding Models
is a practice guideline in the form of health promotion to mothers in
breastfeeding, which can improve maternal and child health, which
consists of three parts: Lactation Education, Self Confidence, and Lactation
Support.
Methods: The design of this study was a quasi-experimental design with a
post-test only control group design. The total sample was 30 respondents
divided into two groups (control and treatment) with 15 respondents in
each group. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The
data collection tool used is the Infant Feeding Intention (IFI) questionnaire.
T-test was used for bivariate data analysis.
Results: The results show that the mean score of the mothers’ willingness
to breastfeed in the group that was given the Tri-Core Breastfeeding
Models (14.6) was higher than the group that was not given the Tri-core
Breastfeeding Models (6.7) (p-value = 0.001).
Conclusion: There was a significant effect of the application of Tri-Core
Breastfeeding Models on the Mother’s Willingness to Breastfeed in the
COVID-19 Era.
