Abstract

|
|
Purpose : The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of an computer-tailored intervention program to
promote breast-feeding.
Methods : A quasi-experimental design was used assigning forty pregnant women to the
experimental group (computer-tailored intervention condition) and the control group (no-intervention control
condition). Thirty-three participants completed pretest and posttest questionnaires and 19 participants assigned to
intervention condition received personal feedback tailored by computer program.
Results : Participants in the experimental group showed higher mean score of ’perception of the importance of breast-feeding’. Significant differences in internal health locus of control was found between the participants in the experimental group and the control group. Participants in the experimental group exceeded controls on intention of breast-feeding. Participants in the control group more often felt that the length of program contents they received was somehow
longer.
Conclusion : The use of a computer-tailored intervention improved the perception of the importance of
breast-feeding and the internal health locus of control. The intention of breast-feeding was increased through the
personal feedback tailored by computer even though participants felt that the length of program contents of tailored
feedback was not longer.
