Abstract
Being well prepared and feeling confident when working with women who are breastfeeding is a challenge for many health professionals who need to be prepared to manage breastfeeding or any associated problems. The purpose of this study was to explore the changes in students’ breastfeeding professional self-efficacy and knowledge after a workshop on breastfeeding counseling. The counseling workshop increased their knowledge (p≤ .001) and breastfeeding professional self-efficacy (p≤ .001) in the provision of labor support. Counseling skills help students to integrate the knowledge and feel more confident to provide breastfeeding care.
