- Abstract
Objective: to evaluate the efficacy of an online educational activity on breastfeeding (BF) for the cognitive knowledge of community health agents (CHAs). Methods: quasi-experimental study, carried out with community health agents. Previously, a knowledge test on breastfeeding was applied. Then, the participants were submitted to the theoretical and practical online educational activity. Subsequently, the post-test was applied. Results: the sample consisted of 53 professionals. The activity proved to be effective, as it was able to improve the professionals' cognitive knowledge about breastfeeding. There were significant statistics in the variables on physiology (p<0.001) and benefits of breastfeeding (p<0.003), breastfeeding position (p<0.002), intervals between feedings (p<0.001), breast complications (p<0.001) and conservation of milk (p<0.005). Conclusion: the online educational strategy was effective in improving the CHAs' cognitive knowledge about BF in all aspects addressed. Statistical evidence is highlighted regarding the difference between prior cognitive knowledge and knowledge after the online educational activity in the variables on physiology and benefits of breastfeeding, breastfeeding technique, intervals between feedings, breast complications and milk conservation.
