Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: In the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) and GCU (Growing Care Unit), many hospitalized infants are preterm or have extremely low birth weight. As a result, their mothers expressed breast milk must be handled within the units, which increases the likelihood of incidents such as disposal of breast milk or incorrect administration. In the 8th East Ward of Building No2, ward nurses are responsible for handling the expressed breast milk of hospitalized infants. However, incidents such as disposal or incorrect administration of breast milk by these nurses have been reported. This study targets the nurses of the 8th East Ward of Building No2, aiming to clarify behavioral changes resulting from an educational intervention and to evaluate the effectiveness of such an intervention.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Members of the nursing research team and individuals who did not provide consent to participate in the study. Individuals who were unable to participate in any of the educational intervention components (video viewing, group work, or demonstration).
