Pesquisa do Estado da Bahia - FAPEB / Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended by the World Health Organization from birth until six months of age since breast milk is the most complete food for nutrition at this stage in life and effectively contributes to reducing illnesses and deaths in children. However, expanding the membership of the practice of exclusive breastfeeding is still a major challenge for public health in Brazil today. Consequently, knowledge of the factors associated with the discontinuation of exclusive breastfeeding is critical to the development of actions to promote and protect children?s health. Objective: To investigate the frequency of exclusive breastfeeding and associated factors its interruption among mothers of infants 0?6 months old in Santo Ant?nio de Jesus, Bahia. Methods: This thesis is presented in the form of an article entitled ?The practice of exclusive breastfeeding and its associated factors its interruption?. This article employed the cross-sectional study design type involving 278 mothers of children under six months of age, all from the village of Santo Ant?nio de Jesus. Data were collected through a questionnaire administered through interviews. Results: It was found that the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding was 39.6% in the sample studied. The interruption of associated exclusive breastfeeding was with the following variables: parity [RP=0,59; IC95% (0,44 ? 0,78)], race/color maternal [RP= 1,84; IC95% (1,03 ? 3,60)], an institution not supportive of breastfeeding [RP= 0,58; IC95%(0,43 ? 0,77)], lack of support for breastfeeding [RP= 0,57; IC95%(0,34 ? 0,95)], satisfaction with the act of breastfeeding [RP = 2,79; IC95%(1,12 ? 4,03)], birth weight of the child [(RP=0,57; IC95%(0,33 ? 0,98)], non-nutritive sucking habits [RP=0,55; IC95%(0,34 ? 0,95)] and medical care or nursing [RP=1,68; IC95% (1,03? 3,19)]. Conclusion: The findings point to an association between the interruption of exclusive breastfeeding and factors related to sociodemographic characteristics, maternal characteristics, and the child. / O aleitamento materno exclusivo (AME) ? recomendado, desde o nascimento at? os seis meses de idade, pela Organiza??o Mundial de Sa?de, vez que o leite materno ? o alimento mais completo para a nutri??o, nessa fase da vida, contribuindo efetivamente para redu??o da morbimortalidade infantil. Por?m, ampliar a ades?o ? pr?tica de AME representa, ainda hoje, um grande desafio para a sa?de p?blica brasileira. Consequentemente, conhecer os fatores associados ? interrup??o do AME ? fundamental para desenvolver a??es de promo??o e prote??o da sa?de infantil. Objetivo: Investigar a frequ?ncia de AME e os fatores associados a sua interrup??o entre m?es de crian?as de 0 a 6 meses de idade, no munic?pio de Santo Ant?nio de Jesus-BA. M?todos: A presente disserta??o apresentada em forma de artigo intitulado ?A pr?tica do aleitamento materno exclusivo e fatores associados a sua interrup??o? empregou o desenho de estudo do tipo corte transversal que envolveu 278 m?es de crian?as menores de seis meses de idade, todas da zona urbana do munic?pio de Santo Ant?nio de Jesus. Os dados foram coletados atrav?s da aplica??o de um question?rio, realizada mediante entrevista. Resultados: Verificou-se que a preval?ncia do AME foi de 39,6% na amostra estudada. Houve associa??o entre interrup??o do AME e os seguintes fatores: primiparidade [RP=1,45; IC95% (1,16 ?1,82)], ra?a/cor materna [RP= 0,75; IC95% (0,60 ? 0,93)], institui??o n?o incentivadora do aleitamento materno [RP=1,8 (1,12- 2,88);], aus?ncia de acompanhamento da crian?a por m?dico ou enfermeiro [RP=1,29; IC95% (1,04 ? 1,59)], falta de apoio familiar para amamenta??o [RP= 1,31; IC95% (1,08-1,60)], insatisfa??o quanto ao ato de amamentar [RP = 1,45; IC95% (1,17-1,79)], baixo peso ao nascer da crian?a [(RP=1,31; IC95% (1,07 - 1,60)] e h?bito de suc??o n?o nutritiva [RP=1,78; IC95% (1,19?2,67)]. Conclus?o: Os achados apontam para associa??o entre a interrup??o do AME e fatores relacionados a caracter?sticas sociodemogr?ficas, caracter?sticas maternas, bem como fatores relacionados ? crian?a. Estes dados refor?am a necessidade de realiza??o de diagn?sticos locais e pol?ticas p?blicas direcionadas ? prote??o e apoio ? amamenta??o exclusiva.

The aim of this study was to explore, describe and interpret the experiences of Immunodeficiency Human Virus (HIV) infected mothers regarding exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months of the infant’s life. This was a qualitative study with phenomenology as a design as the study was about lived experiences. The sample consisted of HIV infected mothers aged 18 years and above who opted for exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of their infant’s lives. Purposive sampling was used. Data was collected through one to one semi structured interviews of fifteen mothers of babies aged six to twelve months. The study revealed that mothers had both positive and negative experiences which were influenced by among others; the level of support the mothers received, disclosure of HIV status and health education received at the health facility. The findings of the study revealed a low level of understanding of the Infant and Young Child Feeding Policy by health professionals / Health Studies / M. A. (Health Studies)

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate if the head circumference of stunted quilombolas children differs from that other children with adequate linear growth and if the insufficient birth weight and exclusive breastfeeding in the first month of life intervene with this relation. Methods: The work followed a transversal studying involving all the children of 12 to 60 months (n=725) pertaining to the quilombolas community of Alagoas (n=39). Variables demographics, socioeconomics, of the health and anthropometrics indices had been collected. These had been compared with the curves of the standard of reference of the of WHO 2006. The children had been categorized into two groups in agreement with the presence or not of the malnutrition (stunted/eutrophic), diagnosed by means of the height deficit (height-for-age < -2,0 SD). Each group was divided in two sub-groups agreements the insufficient birth weight (IBW < 3000g). Finally, each sub-group formed two other categories according to the exposition or not to the exclusive breastfeeding in the first month of life (breastfeeding/ not breastfeeding). Thus, eight groups of studies were formed, which, for the statistics analysis, had been expresses as ordinary category variables (1 a 8), group 1 was formed for the children submitted to worst conditions (undernutrition, with IBW and that weren t to breastfed) and group 8 for the best ones (eutrophic with adequate birth weight and that was to breastfed). The average of the head circumferencefor- age (HC) was compared using ANOVA and the Turkey test as pos-hoc. For this, group 8 was assumed as control. To investigate the principal risk factors associated to the occurrence of the deficit of HC (z < 1.5), regression logistic analyze was used, remaining in the last model the independent variables which associations presented p<0.05. Results: The prevalence of nutritional deficits for indicators height-for-age, weight-forage, weight-for-height and head circumference-for-age was respectively of 10.8%, 1.9%, 1.3% e 10.5%. The overweight (weigh-for-age > 2 SD) represents 6.4%. The averages of Z-score of the head circumference for the groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 e 8 was -1.67*, -1.09, - 0.97, -0.94, -1.02, -0.69, -0.68 e -0.53 respectively. Group 1 was the unique that presented statistics differences (p< 0,05) compared to the control group, suggesting the protective role of breasting against reduction of the HC, when the presence of the chronic malnutrition (express for height deficit) in children that were born with IBW, because the exposition to exclusive breastfeeding was the unique differential used on the formation of the groups 1 and 2. On the multivaried analyzis, the factors that were significantly associated to deficit of HC were the stunted, the insufficient birth weight, the feminine sex and the increase of chronological age in one month increase the chances of occurrence these outcomes in 119%, 77%, 63% e 2% respectively. But the increase of time of the exclusive breastfeeding in one month reduces the possibilities in 10%. Conclusions: The children who are stunted, are born with insufficient weight and that they had not been was exposed to exclusive breastfeeding for one month, demonstrate consistently the worst averages of Z-score of head circumference when compared to children not submitted to stress . In this context, the exposition of breastfeeding per for one month possibly, of the central nervous system. Although traditional population have been considered, the average time of the exclusive breastfeeding was behind of the praised for the WHO. Thus, it was suggested the more investments on the direction of the increase the period of the exposition to exclusive breastfeeding between the quilombolas children of the Alagoas state. / Objetivo: Investigar se o perímetro cefálico de crianças quilombolas com déficit estatural difere daquela observado em crianças com crescimento linear adequado e se o peso insuficiente ao nascer e o aleitamento materno exclusivo no primeiro mês de vida interfere nessa relação. Métodos: Estudo transversal envolvendo todas as crianças de 12 a 60 meses (n=725) pertencentes às comunidades quilombolas (n=39) de Alagoas. Coletaram-se dados demográficos, socioeconômicos, de saúde e antropométricos. Estes foram comparados às curvas do padrão de referência da OMS-2006. As crianças foram categorizadas em 2 grupos conforme a presença ou não da desnutrição (desnutrida/eutrófica), diagnosticada por meio do déficit estatural (estatura-para-idade < - 2,0 desvio-padrão). Cada grupo foi subdivido em 2 sub-grupos conforme o Peso Insuficiente ao Nascer (PIN < 3000g). Finalmente, cada sub-grupo formou duas outras categorias segundo a exposição ou não ao aleitamento materno exclusivo por 30 ou mais dias (mamou/não mamou). Assim, formaram-se oito grupos de estudos, os quais, para a análise estatística, foram expressos como variáveis categóricas ordinais (1 a 8), de modo que o grupo 1 fora formado pelas crianças submetidas às piores condições (desnutridas, com PIN e que não mamaram) e o grupo 8 pelas melhores (eutróficas, com peso adequado ao nascer e que mamaram). A média do perímetro cefálico-para-idade (PC) foi comparada utilizando ANOVA e o teste de Tukey como pos-hoc. Para isso, assumiu-se o grupo 8 como controle. Para investigar os principais fatores de risco associados à ocorrência do déficit de PC (z < -1,5), utilizou-se a análise de regressão logística, mantendo-se no modelo final as variáveis independentes cujas associações apresentaram p<0,05. Resultados: As prevalências de déficits nutricionais para os índices altura-para-idade, peso-para-idade, peso-para-altura e PC foram, respectivamente, 10,8%, 1,9%, 1,3% e 10,5%. O sobrepeso (peso-para-altura > 2 DP) representou 6,4%. As médias de escore Z do perímetro cefálico para os grupos 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 e 8 foram -1,67*, -1,09, -0,97, -0,94, - 1,02, -0,69, -0,68 e -0,53, respectivamente. O grupo 1 foi o único que apresentou diferença estatisticamente significativa (p < 0,05) em relação ao grupo controle, sugerindo um papel protetor do aleitamento materno contra a redução do PC, quando da vigência da desnutrição crônica (expressa pelo déficit estatural) em crianças nascidas com PIN, haja vista que a exposição ao aleitamento materno foi o único diferencial utilizado na formação dos grupos 1 e 2. Na análise multivariada, os fatores que se apresentaram significativamente associados ao déficit de PC foram o déficit estatural, o PIN, o sexo feminino e o aumento da idade cronológica em um 1 mês, as quais, elevaram as chances de ocorrência desse desfecho em, respectivamente, 119%, 77%, 63% e 2%. O aumento do tempo de aleitamento materno exclusivo em um mês, reduziram essas chances em 10%. Conclusões: As crianças que apresentam baixa estatura, nascem com peso insuficiente e que não foram expostas ao aleitamento materno exclusivo por pelo menos 1 mês apresentam menores valores de perímetro cefálico, quando comparadas a crianças não submetidas a esses estresses. Nesse contexto, a exposição ao aleitamento materno exclusivo por 30 ou mais dias constitui-se num importante fator de proteção, no sentido de preservar o crescimento do perímetro cefálico e possivelmente, do sistema nervoso central. Apesar de tratar-se de uma população dita tradicional, o tempo médio de aleitamento materno exclusivo ficou aquém do preconizado pela OMS. Diante desses resultados, sugere-se maiores investimentos no sentido de aumentar entre as crianças quilombolas de Alagoas, o período de exposição ao aleitamento materno exclusivo.

Introdução-O aleitamento materno promove vantagens para a criança, mulher e sociedade. Entretanto as taxas de amamentação, principalmente o aleitamento materno exclusivo estão abaixo dos níveis desejados em diversos países. A identificação dos determinantes da interrupção precoce e a quantificação da interação destes fatores é crucial para estabelecer, avaliar e promover políticas públicas em prol das práticas de amamentação. Objetivo-Estimar os efeitos dos fatores associados à prevalência do aleitamento materno exclusivo, predominante e continuado no primeiro e segundo anos de vida em países da América Latina e Caribe no período de 2000 a 2016. Métodos-Foram utilizados microdados coletados no projeto Monitoring and Evaluation to Assess and Use Results Demographic and Health Survey. Para complementar as informações foram recolhidos dados agregados do World Bank. Os indicadores analisados foram aleitamento materno exclusivo (AME), aleitamento materno predominante (AMP) e aleitamento materno continuado (AMC) no primeiro e segundo anos de vida; os valores foram expressos em prevalência e estratificados por quintos de riqueza. Selecionou-se o último inquérito disponível de cada país da América Latina e Caribe com dados entre os anos de 2000 e 2016. As variáveis foram selecionadas segundo disponibilidade e enquadramento no modelo conceitual proposto por ROLLINS et al. (2016). O modelo utilizado no estudo foi elegido após análise com Regressão de Poisson e, posteriormente, foi realizada análise logística multinível de efeitos mistos para quantificar o efeito de cada determinante do efeito fixo ajustado pelo efeito randômico. Resultados-A variação das prevalências dos indicadores foi de 7,4% a 60,3% no AME, 13,9% a 71% no AMP, 35,0% a 86,6%no AMC no primeiro ano e 18,9% a 55,0% no AMC no segundo ano de vida. Bolívia e Guatemala se destacam por apresentar as maiores taxas de AME, 60,3% e 54,2%, respectivamente. Os países apresentaram maior prevalência dos indicadores nos quintos inferiores de renda, destacando-se as associações do padrão de aumento da magnitude do efeito negativo à medida que o quinto de renda aumenta. O AME e AMP se associaram diretamente à \"amamentação na primeira hora\", \"estado conjugal\" e \"queria o último filho; \"idade materna\" e \"status de trabalho\" se associaram inversamente aos indicadores AMC no 1º e 2º anos de vida. Na análise de efeitos mistos, os indicadores AME e AMP se associaram diretamente a \"amamentação na primeira hora\" e \"estado conjugal\" e inversamente às variáveis \"local do parto\" e \"status de trabalho\". A escolaridade materna apresentou associação inversa com os indicadores AMP, AMC no 1º e 2º anos de vida e o quinto de riqueza apresentou associação inversa com todos os indicadores estudados. O AME apresenta maior variância explicada pelo nível individual, enquanto o AMC no 2º ano de vida sofre grande influência pelo nível contextual (8,99e-15% e 69,7%, respectivamente). Conclusão-As variáveis relacionadas ao indivíduo foram as que melhor explicaram a variância do modelo para o AME, AMP e AMC no 1º ano de vida. As variáveis relacionadas ao contexto explicam maior variabilidade da prevalência do AMC no 2º ano de vida, exibindo a maior interferência do PIB e de influências de âmbito nacional. / Introduction-Breastfeeding promotes benefits for the child, woman and society. However, breastfeeding rates, especially exclusive breastfeeding, are below desired levels in many countries. The identification of the determinants of the interruption precociated and the quantification of interaction factors are crucial to establish, evaluate and promote public policies in breastfeeding practices. Objective-Estimate the effects of factors associated with the prevalence of exclusive, predominant and continued breastfeeding in the first and second years of life in Latin American and Caribbean countries from 2000 to 2016.Methods- We used microdata collected in the project Monitoring and Evaluation to Assess and Use Results Demographic and Health Survey. In addition to the information, aggregated World Bank data was collected. The indicators analyzed were exclusive breastfeeding (EB), predominant breastfeeding (PB) and continuous breastfeeding (CB) in the first and second years of life; the values were expressed in prevalence and stratified by quintiles of wealth. The last available survey of each Latin American and Caribbean country with data between the years 2000 and 2016 was selected. The variables were selected according to availability and framing in the conceptual model proposed by ROLLINS et. al. (2016). The model used in the study was chosen after analysis with Poisson Regression and later, multi-level mixed-effects logistic analysis was performed to quantify the effect of each determinant of the fixed effect adjusted by the random effect. Results- The prevalence of indicators ranged from 7.4% to 60.3% EB, 13.9% to 71% in PB, 35.0% to 86.6% in CB in the first year, and 18.9% to 55.0% in CB in the second year of life. Bolivia and Guatemala stand out for having the highest rates of EB, 60.3% and 54.2%, respectively. The countries presented a higher prevalence of indicators in the lower quintiles of income, especially the associations of the pattern of increase of the magnitude of the negative effect as the fifth of income increases. EB and PB were directly associated with \"first-time breastfeeding\", \"marital status\" and \"wanted the last child; \"maternal age\" and \"work status\" were inversely associated with the CB indicators in the 1st and 2nd years of life. In the mixed effects analysis, the EB and PB indicators were directly associated with \"first-hour breastfeeding\" and \"marital status\" and inversely to the variables \"place of birth\" and \"work status\".The maternal schooling presented an inverse association with the PB, CB indicators in the 1st and 2nd years of life, and the fifth of the wealth had an inverse association with all the indicators studied. The EB shows greater variance explained by the individual level, while the CB in the second year of life suffers great influence at the contextual level (8.99e-15% and 69.7%, respectively). Conclusion- The variables related to the individual were the ones that best explained the variance of the model for EB, PB and CB in the 1st year of life. The variables related to the context explain a greater variability of the prevalence of CB in the second year of life, showing the greater interference of GDP and national influences.
