(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2012) Vilca Lobatón, Diana; Yantas Poma, Mary Luz; Chávez Flores, Erik Mario
This thesis aimed to determine the effectiveness of the Madres del Futuro program in improving the knowledge level of mothers regarding complementary feeding for children aged 6 to 12 months at the Lince Health Center. It was a pre-experimental study with a pre-post design in a single group. The study population consisted of 240 mothers of children aged 6 to 12 months who receive monthly care at the Growth and Development consultation of the Lince Health Center. A sample of 50 mothers was selected based on pre-established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using a 15-question questionnaire with closed multiple-choice answers, and its validity and reliability were determined through expert judgment (binomial test p < 0.05). Additionally, the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient was used (p = 0.73). The results showed that the mothers' knowledge level before the program (pretest) was medium (46%), with a tendency towards low (32%), while after the program (posttest), the mothers reached a high knowledge level (60%), with a tendency towards medium (40%). No mothers were found with a low knowledge level. It was concluded that the implemented educational program was effective (Chi-square: 15.285).

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2015) Barrientos Ozejo, Lizeth; Mollán Tuesta, Jessica Gisela; Zavaleta Gutiérrez, Violeta Aideé
The main objective of the research was to determine the relationship between the importance given to breastfeeding and the breastfeeding technique used by mothers of children under 2 years old attended at the Los Libertadores Health Center in 2014. It was a descriptive, correlational cross-sectional study. The population consisted of 60 mothers. The results showed that 45% of the mothers who assigned low importance to breastfeeding practiced an inadequate breastfeeding technique, while 61% of the mothers who assigned moderate importance applied a moderately adequate technique, and finally, 44% of the mothers who assigned high importance used an adequate technique. It was also observed that 33% of mothers gave low importance to breastfeeding, 52% gave moderate importance, and 15% gave high importance. Regarding breastfeeding techniques, 30% of mothers employed an inadequate breastfeeding technique, 50% a moderately adequate technique, and 20% an adequate technique. The main conclusions were that there is a direct relationship (p-value = 0.050) between the importance assigned to breastfeeding and the breastfeeding technique employed by the mothers. Additionally, the importance that mothers give to breastfeeding is generally from low to moderate, with a minority considering it to be high. In terms of the breastfeeding technique employed, the majority is moderately adequate, followed by inadequate, and a minority is adequate.
