Kartläggning av förstföderskors erfarenheter av amningsstöd i samband med graviditet och barnafödande : En webbenkätundersökning

Abstract Aim: To map first-time mothers experiences of breastfeeding support provided by maternal health care, birth center and BB. Method: A quantitative survey with a cross-sectional design. The criterias to be included was first-time mothers who breastfed or wished to breastfeed and gave birth to a full-term child in the last two years. Data were collected through a web survey published on Facebook. A comfort selection was chosen and data were analyzed with descriptive statistics. Comparisons were made between two age groups Results: A total of 197 first time mothers were answered in the survey. Group 1 consisted of first-time mothers aged 21-30 years and Group 2 consisted of first-time mothers aged 31-42 years. The breastfeeding support included written, verbal and practical guidance. Positive and negative factors in breastfeeding support were identified. Both differences but mainly similarities were identified among first-time mothers’ experiences of breastfeeding support. It was 70,3% of the entire population who wanted more information about breastfeeding. A difference was that Group 2 generally estimated lower breastfeeding support compared with Group 1. Conclusion: The breastfeeding support was estimated quite low by both age groups. Almost half of the first-time mothers considered themselves to receive the best breastfeeding support from sources other than maternal health care, childbirth and BB. This indicates that the breastfeeding support that first-time mothers received was insufficient. First-time mothers requested more information about breastfeeding. High attendance of the midwife and individual guidance were positive factors.   Keywords: breastfeeding, experiences, midwives, mothers, support.
