The document outlines the 10 key strategic points for a Direct Practice Improvement (DPI) project on the impact of skin-to-skin contact on breastfeeding initiation rates. These strategic points will guide the project and include: background/problem from literature, theoretical foundations, literature review, problem statement, sample/location, clinical questions, variables, purpose statement, data collection, and data analysis. The assignment is to outline these 10 strategic points for a DPI project examining the impact of immediate postpartum uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding on breastfeeding initiation rates within 4 weeks compared to mother-newborn separation without breastfeeding.
