This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breastfeeding has become a global initiative. In an effort to increase breastfeeding rates, the World Health Organization and UNICEF have made their recommendations to hospitals and birthing facilities on how to be designated.as "baby-friendly". The initiative calls for increased breastfeeding educational opportunities for nurses so they can provide mothers with the most up to- date support and information on infant feeding. This study was conducted in an effort to discover the effectiveness of an evidence-based educational intervention among Baccalaureate nursing students at California State University San Marcos. Additionally, the study answered the question "do the demographic variables and the covariate (age, gender and experience with breastfeeding) predict their knowledge of and attitudes towards breastfeeding?". A non-probability, convenience sampling method was used to select the population of ba ccalaureate nursing students at California State University San Marcos for this study.A non-probability, convenience sampling method was used to select the population of baccalaureate nursing students at California State University San Marcos for this study. A total of 70 students participated in the evidence-based educational intervention. The instruments used to measure the effectiveness of the educational intervention were the Newborn Feeding Ability Questionnaire (Creed, Cantrill & Cooke, 2008) and Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (De la Mora et al., 1997). The paired t-test showed a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores for both of the dependent variables: knowledge (t= 12.32; p=.OOO) and attitude (t=7.48; p=.OOO) .These findings demonstrated the effectiveness of the hour and a half long evidence-based lecture that was presented, thus providing evidence in support of the hypothesis of this study. The regression analysis results revealed that age, gender and prior experience with breastfeeding were not significant predictors of knowledge; however, age, gender, and prior experience with breastfeeding did significantly predict BSN students' attitudes towards breastfeeding in the pilot study sample

This book was released on 1998 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utilizing the theory of reasoned action as a framework, the influence of maternal attitudes, normative beliefs, and behavioral intentions on duration of breast-feeding measured over a period of 16 weeks postpartum was examined. Results from a latent growth curve modeling analysis approach suggest that maternal attitudes and behavioral intentions (e.g., commitment to breast-feeding) are important determinants of exclusive breast-feeding while in the hospital and the duration of breast-feeding after leaving the hospital among women who choose that method of infant feeding. Maternal attitudes were found to be strong predictors of the duration of breast-feeding both directly and indirectly through intentions. A woman's decision to breast-feed or formula-feed her infant was not strongly affected by the attitudes of important others.
Download or read book Expression of Breast Milk in the Workplace An Analysis Among Registered Nurses Nurse Managers and Hospital Representatives in Acute Care Hospitals written by Anne Gelber and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: More than half of women return to the workforce within one year following the birth of their child. To continue offering breast milk to their infants and follow AAP and WHO recommendations for breastfeeding, these women often need to express breast milk in the workplace. Registered Nurses who work in bedside roles do not traditionally have access to private office spaces or personal control over their work schedule, making them uniquely susceptible to workplace barriers for expression of breast milk. Currently, the CDC recommends cleaning a breast pump with soap and water and leaving it to air dry after each use. It is unknown what the current knowledge and adherence levels to these recommendations are within a working population or how knowledge and adherence may affect breastfeeding practice outcomes.Objectives: The study was conducted: 1) To determine relationships between employee perceptions of workplace support for expression of breast milk in the workplace (EBMW) and duration of breastfeeding, duration of EBMW, and other infant feeding practices, 2) To describe knowledge of CDC recommendations for cleaning of a breast pump across Registered Nurse (RN), Nurse Manager (NM), and Hospital Representative (HR) groups, 3) To determine if RN knowledge was associated with RN adherence to CDC recommendations for cleaning of a breast pump, 4) To describe relationships between RN breastfeeding practices and: RN knowledge and adherence, NM knowledge, and HR Knowledge, and 5) To learn about the experiences of working RNs who have expressed breast milk in the workplace and provide recommendations to employers for improving employee lactation experiences. Methods: This was a cross sectional research study. Registered Nurse participants who had given birth within the past three years (n=199), Nurse Managers (n = 36), and Hospital Representatives (n = 6) were recruited from 10 hospitals within the county of Los Angeles. Registered Nurses completed four questionnaires online: The Employee Perceptions of Breastfeeding Support Questionnaire (EPBS-Q); the Duration of Breastfeeding, Duration of EBMW, and Infant Feeding Practices Questionnaire (BEIF-Q); the Knowledge of CDC Recommendations for Use and Cleaning of a Breast Pump Questionnaire (KBP-Q); and the Adherence for Use and Cleaning of a Breast Pump according to CDC Recommendations Questionnaire (ABP-Q). Nurse Managers completed two online questionnaires: The Managers' Attitude Toward Breastfeeding Support Questionnaire (MATBS-Q) and the Knowledge of CDC Recommendations for Use and Cleaning of a Breast Pump Questionnaire (KBP-Q). Hospital Representatives completed two online questionnaires: Company Support for Breastfeeding Questionnaire (CBS-Q) and Knowledge of CDC Recommendations for Use and Cleaning of a Breast Pump Questionnaire (KBP-Q). Demographic information was collected from all participants via an online questionnaire. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to determine significant associations. Linear regression models were used to determine the relationships between workplace breastfeeding support constructs and breastfeeding and infant practice outcomes; and to explain relationships between knowledge of and adherence to CDC guidelines and breastfeeding and infant feeding practices. Qualitative responses from the open-ended question of the EPBS-Q were analyzed for categories using Strauss and Corbin's Grounded Theory approach. Open coding, axial coding, and selective coding was used to develop the underlying codes and a conceptual description. Workplace recommendations were then created based upon the analysis. Results: Using the EPBS-Q, increased perceived time and frequency of lactation breaks was associated with an increased duration of feeding solids and breastmilk to the infant, and a decreased duration of solids and formula. Increased communication among coworkers was associated with a decrease in the duration of feeding solids, breastmilk, and formula combined. Among RNs knowledge scores of CDC recommendations for cleaning a breast pump were high, but adherence scores to those recommendations was not as high. There was an association between increased RN adherence to CDC recommendations for cleaning a pump and an increase in the duration of feeding solids and formula to an infant. At the manager level among the hospitals, there was an increase in duration of solids and formula with increased manager knowledge of CDC recommendations for cleaning a pump. Qualitative responses to the open-ended question of the EPBS-Q showed that experiences demonstrating a lack of support for EBMW continue to exist among RNs who expressed breast milk upon return to work.
Download or read book The Surgeon General s Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For nearly all infants, breastfeeding is the best source of infant nutrition and immunologic protection, and it provides remarkable health benefits to mothers as well. Babies who are breastfed are less likely to become overweight and obese. Many mothers in the United States want to breastfeed, and most try. And yet within only three months after giving birth, more than two-thirds of breastfeeding mothers have already begun using formula. By six months postpartum, more than half of mothers have given up on breastfeeding, and mothers who breastfeed one-yearolds or toddlers are a rarity in our society. October 2010 marked the 10th anniversary of the release of the HHS Blueprint for Action on Breastfeeding, in which former Surgeon General David Satcher, M.D., Ph. D., reiterated the commitment of previous Surgeons General to support breastfeeding as a public health goal. This was the first comprehensive framework for national action on breastfeeding. It was created through collaboration among representatives from medical, business, women's health, and advocacy groups as well as academic communities. The Blueprint provided specific action steps for the health care system, researchers, employers, and communities to better protect, promote, and support breastfeeding. I have issued this Call to Action because the time has come to set forth the important roles and responsibilities of clinicians, employers, communities, researchers, and government leaders and to urge us all to take on a commitment to enable mothers to meet their personal goals for breastfeeding. Mothers are acutely aware of and devoted to their responsibilities when it comes to feeding their children, but the responsibilities of others must be identified so that all mothers can obtain the information, help, and support they deserve when they breastfeed their infants. Identifying the support systems that are needed to help mothers meet their personal breastfeeding goals will allow them to stop feeling guilty and alone when problems with breastfeeding arise. All too often, mothers who wish to breastfeed encounter daunting challenges in moving through the health care system. Furthermore, there is often an incompatibility between employment and breastfeeding, but with help this is not impossible to overcome. Even so, because the barriers can seem insurmountable at times, many mothers stop breastfeeding. In addition, families are often unable to find the support they need in their communities to make breastfeeding work for them. From a societal perspective, many research questions related to breastfeeding remain unanswered, and for too long, breastfeeding has received insufficient national attention as a public health issue. This Call to Action describes in detail how different people and organizations can contribute to the health of mothers and their children. Rarely are we given the chance to make such a profound and lasting difference in the lives of so many. I am confident that this Call to Action will spark countless imaginative, effective, and mutually supportive endeavors that improve support for breastfeeding mothers and children in our nation."--Page v.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health care systems worldwide are faced with the challenge of improving the quality of care. Providing evidence from health research is necessary but not sufficient for the provision of optimal care and so knowledge translation (KT), the scientific study of methods for closing the knowledge-to-action gap and of the barriers and facilitators inherent in the process, is gaining significance. Knowledge Translation in Health Care explains how to use research findings to improve health care in real life, everyday situations. The authors define and describe knowledge translation, and outline strategies for successful knowledge translation in practice and policy making. The book is full of examples of how knowledge translation models work in closing the gap between evidence and action. Written by a team of authors closely involved in the development of knowledge translation this unique book aims to extend understanding and implementation worldwide. It is an introductory guide to an emerging hot topic in evidence-based care and essential for health policy makers, researchers, managers, clinicians and trainees.
