Is there a way to determine if a particular course or program is best suited to the education needs of the staff?
Yes. Any program considered for implementation by a hospital, to address education needs, should be assessed to determine if appropriate content is included. Resources are available to assist this assessment, including: Ten steps for Breastfeeding Education as outlined in National Breastfeeding Guidelines for Health Care Providers (CICH, 1996) and the Family-Centered Maternity and Newborn Care: National Guidelines (Health Canada, 2000). The International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes: A Common Review and Evaluation Framework (WHO, 1996) would also be an appropriate resource to assist in determination of content for a breastfeeding education program which is consistent with the principles of the BFHI.
