The effect of a culture-specific education program to promote breastfeeding among Vietnamese women in Sydney . The rate of breastfeeding among immigrant Vietnamese women in Western countries is low compared to those in Vietnam . To counteract this trend , a language and culture specific education program was developed . An experimental design was used to test the effectiveness of this program . The sample consisted of 182 prenatal Vietnamese women . Data collection included questionnaires and interviews . Results suggested that the education program had significant effects on knowledge , attitudes , planned and actual behaviour towards breastfeeding . However , the effect did not sustain until 6 months postpartum . Implications for nursing practice and further research are discussed .
