Abstract

Posyandu cadre is an extension of health workers in educating mothers regarding breastfeeding. However, there are still many cadres who do not yet have good knowledge related to exclusive breastfeeding. This study aims to analyze the effect of breastfeeding education on the knowledge and attitudes of posyandu cadres related to exclusive breastfeeding. This study uses a quasi experimental research design with one group pretest-posttest design technique. The total sample of 30 posyandu cadres in the working area of Puskesmas Sako were taken by purposive sampling method. Data analysis using marginal homogeneity test obtained p value for knowledge of 0,000 and attitudes of 0.039. Breastfeeding education has a significant effect on increasing the cadres’ knowledge and attitudes related to exclusive breastfeeding. Breastfeeding education can be recommended as an intervention strategy to increase the capacity of cadres in providing support to nursing mothers.
