As a result, the study hypothesis H1 is approved. This shows that SIM effectively improves mothers' knowledge of breastfeeding guidelines. No inform ation. The pre-mean is 4.97, standard the deviation is 8.26, the standard deviation is 1.09, the degrees of freedom is 29, the paired tvalue is 23.65, and the p-value is <.00001. When the posttest is 13.23, the mean difference is 8.26,the standarddeviation is1.57,  degrees of freedom is 29, the paired t-value is 23.65, and the p-value is <.00001. The mean of the post-test (13.23) is greater than the mean of the pre-test (4.97). The test score reduction is 23.65, which is significant at p < 0.00001, and the mean difference between the pre-test and post-test scores is 8.26. Hence, the study hypothesis H1 is approved. This shows that SIM effectively improves mothers' knowledge about breastfeeding.
