This thesis explores the perceptions of nurses regarding the importance of breastfeeding, the need for lactation education, and the barriers that may be preventing nurses from obtaining lactation education. Nurses working in Minnesota, North Dakota, or South Dakota were the focus. Secondary data from a lactation education needs assessment was used to explore the perceptions and barriers in these states. It was determined that 290 surveys were useable. The Health Belief Model was used to explore the relationship between the nurse's characteristics, perceived breastfeeding importance, perceived need for lactation education, likelihood to take action to obtain lactation education, and perceived barriers to lactation education. Findings from this study indicate that several characteristics of nurses were significantly related to nurses' perceptions of breastfeeding and the need for lactation education. Among several findings, work setting and the level of nursing education were significantly related to nurses' perceptions of the importance of breastfeeding.

The diploma thesis deals with the nutrition of breastfeeding women. The aim was to analyze the nutritional intake of energy, lipids, carbohydrates, proteins and fluids during lactation. For this purpose, the theoretical part gathered knowledge about the intake of substrates and their importance in nutrition with a focus on breastfeeding women. The monitoring took place in three separate lactation periods, namely the 3rd week after birth and the last weeks of the 3rd and 6th month of breastfeeding. At the end of every period, each of the 20 breastfeeding women involved completed a questionnaire, in which they kept a weekly record of the food and fluids consumed. The NutriDan nutritional program and the Excel program for statistical processing of results were used to calculate the number of received substrates. The values obtained were compared with the recommendations of the Nutrition Society valid for the Czech Republic. Nutrient intake did not differ statistically significantly between breastfeeding or between days of the week. The central findings of the study are insufficient energy intake compared to the recommended and relatively lower intake of carbohydrates in the diet at the expense of higher protein intake. Furthermore, the consumption of cholesterol and saturated fatty acids significantly...
