Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of peer support interventions on exclusive breastfeeding among primiparous women. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that reportedthe effectiveness of peer support interventions on exclusive breastfeeding among primiparous women were retrieved in several electronic databases. Data were analyzed using RevMan 5.3 software after quality assessment and data extraction. Results A total of 9 RCTs which included 1435 patients were incorporated in this meta-analysis. The meta-analysis revealed that peer support interventions could increase the rate of exclusive breastfeeding(OR=2.84, 95％CI2.22-3.64, P<0.01), increase duration of exclusive breastfeeding(WMD=43.66, 95％CI28.04-59.27, P<0.01). Subgroup analysis showed that peer support increased the rate of exclusive breastfeeding atone month(OR=1.84,95％CI1.24-2.73, P<0.01), three months(OR=2.28, 95％CI1.67-3.12, P<0.01)and six months(OR=3.42,95％CI2.46-4.76, P<0.01) of postpartum.
