The effect of lactation educator support on breastfeeding duration among participants in the Women, Infants, and Children Program

Parker, Catherine G. January 1999 (has links)
This study examined the relationship between active support of the breastfeeding mother and breastfeeding rates in the WIC population. The study consisted of two groups, a control group and an intervention group. Participants in the experimental group received scheduled contacts from a lactation educator in the form of home visitations, telephone calls, and written communication, while the control group participants were encouraged to seek breastfeeding support as needed. Demographic measures, duration of breastfeeding, number of breastfeeding support contacts, and formula supplementation were recorded for all subjects. Women in the experimental group received significantly more breastfeeding support contacts than those in the control group; however, breastfeeding duration was similar among women in both groups. Women who requested six or more cans of powdered formula breastfed for a significantly shorter time than those who requested lesser amounts of formula. These results suggest postpartum breastfeeding support, in isolation, may be inadequate to encourage sustained breastfeeding. / Department of Family and Consumer Sciences

Breastfeeding experiences of low-income women in the city of Winnipeg: a qualitative study

Pierce, Lorelei 03 January 2014 (has links)
Low-income women are less likely to initiate, continue and exclusively breastfeed. Limited Canadian research exists regarding the lived breastfeeding experience. A phenomenological study, utilizing a feminist approach and Fishbein’s Integrative Model of Behavioral Prediction was conducted. Women recruited via purposeful, criterion sampling, who were eligible for the Manitoba Healthy Child Prenatal Benefit and had breastfed participated in 1:1 interviews (N=18). The essence of the experience was breastfeeding is “amazing and tough”. The themes of “life context”, “tough work”, and “persevering” emerged. Women who continued to breastfeed described breastfeeding becoming easier and ongoing breastfeeding variability in their experience. Those who discontinued breastfeeding noted it did not fit with their lifestyle, made the decision to breastfeed later, and interpreted breastfeeding problems differently. Researchers and practitioners need to explore the role of stress and consider this in providing individualized, coordinated breastfeeding and health care support to these women.

AutoeficÃcia das mulheres no ciclo gravÃdico-puerperal em amamentar. / Self-efficacy of women in pregnancy and childbirth on breastfeeding.

Janaiana Lemos Uchoa 15 June 2012 (has links)
nÃo hà / O aleitamento materno (AM) influencia diretamente na prevenÃÃo da morbimortalidade infantil, sendo fundamental para a promoÃÃo e proteÃÃo da saÃde das crianÃas. Contudo, o desmame precoce à uma realidade mundial, sendo necessÃrio investigar nÃo apenas o conhecimento das mÃes acerca do aleitamento, mas, sobretudo, a autoeficÃcia destas em amamentar seus filhos. Objetivou-se analisar a autoeficÃcia das mulheres no ciclo gravÃdico-puerperal quanto ao seu potencial em amamentar. Tratou-se de um estudo de delineamento longitudinal, com abordagem quantitativa, realizado em seis Unidades BÃsicas de SaÃde da FamÃlia de Pacatuba/CE, totalizando uma amostra de 50 gestantes. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevista, em duas etapas: a primeira, durante a gestaÃÃo, e a segunda, no puerpÃrio dessas mulheres (15 dia, 30 dia, 60 dia). Na primeira etapa de coleta, aplicaram-se dois instrumentos: a BSES-SF (Breastfeeding Self-EfficacyScale â Short-Form) e o formulÃrio sociodemogrÃfico e clÃnico-obstÃtrico. JÃ, na segunda, foram aplicados a BSES-SF e o formulÃrio com dados do parto atual e o tipo de aleitamento materno e dados antropomÃtricos do recÃm-nascido. Os dados foram analisados por meio do SPSS - Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, versÃo 19.0, atravÃs de estatÃstica descritiva e inferencial, com nÃvel de significÃncia de 0,05. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comità de Ãtica em Pesquisa da Universidade Federal do CearÃ, sob o Protocolo 124/2011. A mÃdia da idade das puÃrperas foi de 23 anos (DP=  5,3). Predominaram mulheres casadas/uniÃo consensual, com oito ou mais anos de estudos, donas do lar, com renda per capita maior que R$141,00. Verificou-se diferenÃa estatisticamente significante entre a maioria das variÃveis sociodemogrÃficas e as mÃdias dos escores da BSES-SF no prÃ-natal e pÃs-parto (p<0,05): idade, estado civil, escolaridade materna e paterna, ocupaÃÃo, renda, n de filhos, receber bolsa-famÃlia. Quanto aos antecedentes obstÃtricos, tambÃm se constatou significÃncia estatÃstica nas seguintes variÃveis (p<0,05): nÃmero de gestaÃÃes, nÃmero de abortos, paridade, nÃmero de filhos vivos, tipo de amamentaÃÃo anterior, dificuldades para amamentar, experiÃncia em amamentar. Ainda houve significÃncia quanto aos dados da gestaÃÃo atual (p<0,05): gravidez planejada, nÃmero de consultas de prÃ-natal, ter conhecimento prÃvio em amamentaÃÃo, preparo das mamas para amamentar e o tempo em que pretende amamentar. Pode-se ainda ressaltar significÃncia estatÃstica quanto aos dados do parto atual e puerpÃrio (p<0,05): tipo, local e satisfaÃÃo com o parto, amamentar na 1 hora de vida do RN, orientaÃÃes sobre amamentaÃÃo na maternidade, dificuldade em amamentar e o tipo de alimentaÃÃo do RN na alta da maternidade. Em relaÃÃo aos dados antropomÃtricos do RN, apresentaram significÃncia estatÃstica (p<0,05) com a escala: peso e estatura do RN ao nascer, sexo, Apgar no primeiro e quinto minutos de vida; classificaÃÃo do RN quanto à semana gestacional. Pode-se constatar que as mÃdias dos escores da BSES-SF foram maiores no segundo momento da aplicaÃÃo da escala (pÃs-parto), sendo mais significante o domÃnio TÃcnico. Quanto à alimentaÃÃo do recÃm-nascido e a escala, a amamentaÃÃo exclusiva foi significante tanto na alta hospitalar, quanto no 15Â, 30 e 60 dias de vida da crianÃa. Assim, a Enfermagem pode apropriar-se de estratÃgias educativas que envolvam a autoeficÃcia materna em amamentar no ciclo gravÃdico-puerperal, tendo em vista que a experiÃncia pessoal foi fator preponderante no aumento das mÃdias dos escores de autoeficÃcia, bem como na duraÃÃo do aleitamento materno exclusivo nos primeiros meses de vida da crianÃa.
