Objective: To explore the application effect of general nursing based on humanistic concepts on postpartum breastfeeding in primiparas of appropriate age and its impact on serum prolactin levels. Methods: A total of 108 primiparas of appropriate age who delivered at our hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected as study subjects and randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. The control group received routine postpartum care, while the experimental group received general nursing care based on humanistic concepts in addition to the routine care. The time of milk secretion onset, breastfeeding rate, breastfeeding knowledge scores, and changes in serum prolactin levels were observed in both groups. Results: The breastfeeding rate in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group during the first three months of nursing (P<0.05), and the time of initial milk secretion was earlier in the experimental group (P<0.05). The experimental group also showed significantly higher scores in breastfeeding knowledge, feeding techniques, healthy diet, subjective norms, and confidence compared to the control group (P<0.05). After nursing care, the serum prolactin levels in the experimental group were higher than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: General nursing based on humanistic concepts can effectively improve postpartum breastfeeding rates in primiparas of appropriate age, enhance breastfeeding knowledge, and increase serum prolactin levels, providing strong support for maternal and infant health.
