However, the breastfeeding rates for infants at six and twelve months old lag the Healthy People 2010 recommendations. Studies have shown that a nurse's attitude can influence breastfeeding duration rates yet nurses' attitudes and hospital practices do not always support breastfeeding mothers. Therefore it is vital that senior nursing students have positive attitudes toward breastfeeding as they begin their practice in order to support and encourage breastfeeding mothers. The Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale was used in this study to collect data from junior nursing students before their maternal-child health course and senior nursing students after their maternal-child health course. The results of the study found a significant difference in the attitude scores between the juniors and seniors with the seniors having more positive attitudes toward breastfeeding. The evidence from this study supports the premise that education can improve attitudes toward breastfeeding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eileen Riley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639004256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639004250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.11d","brand":"Eileen Riley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113835376895,"sku":"9783639004250","price":52.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_618511c5-ac5d-4981-84e3-8bd6ff77a0a7.jpg?v=1769617496","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/breastfeeding-attitudes-a-comparison-eileen-riley-9783639004250","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
