Applying Interactive E-books on Breastfeeding to Enhance Nursing Students' Learning

Applying Interactive E-books on Breastfeeding to Enhance Nursing Students' Learning Motivation and Effectiveness in Breastfeeding Education

This study aims to explore the impact of interactive breastfeeding e-books on nursing students' breastfeeding learning outcomes. The subjects are third-year nursing students from a university in central Taiwan. A randomized controlled design will be adopted. The experimental group will use interactive breastfeeding e-books for learning, while the control group will use traditional face-to-face courses to evaluate the changes in students' breastfeeding knowledge, skills, and learning motivation. The expected results can provide a reference for innovative teaching models in nursing education and promote the future clinical promotion of breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding is widely considered to be the best source of nutrition for infants, helping to reduce infant morbidity and mortality, reduce the risk of infection and chronic diseases, and promote intellectual development. However, in current nursing education, how to effectively improve students' knowledge and skills of breastfeeding has yet to be developed. Common traditional face-to-face courses are limited by time and venue, which requires students to re-adapt and learn when entering the clinical internship stage, affecting learning efficiency and clinical application. In addition, male students may find it challenging to learn breastfeeding due to gender factors.

With the rapid development of information technology, e-books and multimedia interactive teaching materials have been proven to improve learning motivation and effectiveness, promote individualized learning experience, and enhance problem solving and creative thinking. Through animation, sound effects, pictures, and game quizzes, it can effectively help students master professional knowledge and overcome the limitations of traditional teaching.

This study adopts a randomized controlled experimental design and is expected to recruit 100 third-year nursing students from a university in central Taiwan, divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group studied with an interactive breastfeeding e-book, and the control group took a traditional face-to-face course. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire, and changes in breastfeeding knowledge, skill acquisition, and learning motivation were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The expected results showed that the interactive e-book not only significantly improved students' learning outcomes, but also helped overcome gender restrictions, enhance learning motivation, promote future clinical promotion of breastfeeding, and serve as an important reference for innovative nursing education models.
