Abstract

Objective: To compare the knowledge of schoolchildren about breastfeeding, before and after educational intervention. Method: a comparative, cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach, carried out from March to October 2018 in municipal public schools in a municipality in Piauí­, with 24 students aged 7 to 9 years. In this study, a pre-test was carried out to assess the knowledge of schoolchildren, an educational intervention using printed comic books and an educational game. After intervention, a post-test was applied, followed by a comparative analysis of knowledge in relation to breastfeeding. Results: out of the total number of interviewees in the pre-test, 12 obtained insufficient knowledge, 3 obtained good knowledge and none achieved optimal knowledge. After the educational intervention, it was found that no student had insufficient knowledge and 19 students were classified as having good knowledge. Conclusion: It was possible to observe an improvement in the levels of knowledge after the educational intervention.
