Abstract

This narrative research was aimed at studying knowledge and understanding of clients toward the procedure of“ The Baby Friendly Hospital Initative Project 'of Rayong Hospital and studying the factors that affected the success of breast feeding promotion in mothers. The samples were drawn from 106 post-partum women who took their children to check-up and received vaccination from Well-baby Clinic of Rayong Hospital. The researcher invented the questionaires from 'Ten Steps Policy to Breast Feeding Success’ and used percentage, average, SD, ANOVA and Chi-square to analize the data. It was found that the samples had good knowledge and understanding on the procedure of the project (X = 46.73 SD = 5.48). Howecer, they still had less awareness on supported service on breast-feeding outside the hospital (X = 2.17 SD = 1.65). Besides, it was found that the factors that had impact on the success of breast-feeding among clients were the age of mothers themselves and the complication of delivery. The result of this study could be applied to improve the service system in order to meet the clients' requirement.
