BACKGROUND: The coverage of infants who are exclusively breastfed in North Sulawesi Province is still low. One of the causes is the lack of knowledge and lack of support from health workers as well as the closest family. In this digital era 4.0, there is a need to utilize technology as a medium for health education and assistance. The use of technology makes it easier for the facilitator to send videos and audio containing extension materials and can be accessed and conduct discussion activities anytime and anywhere by respondents.
AIM: This study aims to analyze the success of exclusive breastfeeding for breastfeeding mothers who are given support in the form of assistance through the use of technology.
METHODS: The research design used is quasi-experimental group control pre- and post-test. The intervention group was given support through assistance using technology. The control group was given education using medial leaflets.
RESULTS: The results of the study were tested using the Mann–Whitney test. The mean score of the intervention group was 0.87, greater than the mean score of the control group of 0.33. P value is 0.000 < 0.05 so it can be concluded that the hypothesis is accepted.
CONCLUSION: The support provided through assistance to breastfeeding mothers by utilizing technology had an impact on the success of exclusive breastfeeding on 40 days of birth. It is recommended that service health providers pay attention to support for the success of exclusive breastfeeding, starting from pregnant women, during delivery, even during the period of breastfeeding.Downloads
