Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding is a public health priority. It is a type of feeding in which infants receive only breast milk from the mother and no other solid or liquid food except for vitamins, minerals, or medications. Objective: To evaluate breastfeeding attitudes and techniques in women from a breastfeeding support group. Methods: This is a quantitative, descriptive, quasi-experimental (before and after) study. This included a pretest, an educational intervention based on the technical guide for breastfeeding training validated by the State of Mexico, and a posttest with a census-based sample of 24 breastfeeding women and 6 pregnant women. Measurements were performed using the Iowa Infant Feeding Attitudes Scale (IFFAS) and the Bristol Breastfeeding Assessment Tool (BBAT). The meeting lasted 40 minutes to promote and educate women on breastfeeding attitudes and techniques. Results: The interpretation of this research is that initially, a neutral attitude predominated, with 46.7% of women, whereas after the intervention, most women adopted a cheerful outlook toward breastfeeding, with 86.7%. This change was statistically significant according to the Wilcoxon test (p < 0.05), demonstrating the positive impact of the intervention. Conclusions: These results reflect that the educational intervention not only strengthened breastfeeding technical skills but also favorably influenced women's perceptions and attitudes toward breastfeeding. It is concluded that the intervention was effective in improving both knowledge and practice regarding breastfeeding within the support group.

Alternative therapies play an essential role in nursing practice, providing professionals with the ability to offer comprehensive care that includes physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of health. However, it seems that there is a low level of knowledge and applicability in relation to these alternative therapies. Thus, the objective was to determine the use of alternative therapies in nursing care. To achieve this, a quantitative descriptive approach with a cross-sectional design was used. The participants were 100 nurses from the province of Tungurahua selected through a non-probabilistic sampling by convenience to whom a questionnaire about alternative therapies was applied. The results indicated that training and knowledge regarding alternative therapies were low among nursing professionals, despite their medium level of applicability. The most known therapies were massage therapy and aromatherapy, while massage therapy, again, and relaxation were the most used by nursing staff. These findings underscore the need for improved training and education in alternative therapies in the nursing setting in order to maximize their beneficial potential for patients.
