Abstract
The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of providing e-booklets about exclusive breastfeeding on increasing the knowledge and attitudes of postpartum mothers in Pancur Batu Health Center work area. This study utilized a quasi-experimentall design featuring a pre-testt and post-test with a control group. A total of 40 postpartum women participated, selected through purposive sampling based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. To evaluate the effect of e-booklets on exclusive breastfeeding, bivariate analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxonn and Mann-Whitney tests, with a significance threshold of p < 0.05. The results revealed that most participants were aged 20 to 35 years (22 participants, or 55.0%), held higher educational qualifications (28 participants, or 55.0%), had a parity of two or fewer children (27 participants, or 67.5%), and a significant portion were unemployed (21 participants, or 52.5%). The analysis showed that the distribution of e-booklets significantly improved the knowledge of postpartum mothers, indicated by a p-value of 0.003. Furthermore, the findings supported that providing e-booklets had a positive effect on knowledge levels, as shown by a p-value of 0.001. It is recommended that healthcare providers employ e-booklets to enhance the knowledge and attitudes of postpartum women.
