Abstract
It was to investigate the breast milk cell immune function and the effect of health education on pregnant and lying-in women. 100 primiparas were randomly divided into the control group (50 cases): routine health education; the test group (50 cases): prenatal breastfeeding health education based on the control group. Breastfeeding status, as well as breast milk immune cell composition at each stage, were compared between the two groups after intervention. After the intervention, the maternal feeding knowledge score of the test group (17.3 ± 2.4) points was significantly higher than that of the control group (14.1 ± 2.9) points (P < 0.05); the total feeding self-efficacy score of the test group was significantly higher than that of the control group at four weeks after delivery and eight weeks after delivery (P < 0.05); at eight weeks after delivery, 42 parturients in test group chose exclusive breastfeeding, significantly more than 22 parturients in the control group (P < 0.05); during colostrum, CD3+ accounted for (57.8 ± 4.2)%, CD4+ accounted for (31.5 ± 3.7)%, CD8+ accounted for (26.2 ± 2.4)%, CD4+/CD8+ was (1.2 ± 0.3), significantly higher than those of transitional milk and mature milk (P < 0.05); during colostrum, IFN-γ was (1.4 ± 0.4) µg/L, IL-8 was (1.4 ± 0.4) µg/L, significantly higher than those of mature milk (P < 0.05). Breast milk is beneficial to improve the immune function of newborns. It is necessary to perform health education for pregnant and lying-in women and improve the breastfeeding rate.
