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 Lactation at Work written by Elizabeth A. Hoffmann and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, as women entered the US workforce in increasing numbers, they faced the conundrum of how to maintain breastfeeding and hold down full-time jobs. In 2010, the Lactation at Work Law (an amendment to the US Fair Labor Standards Act) mandated accommodations for lactating women. This book examines the federal law and its state-level equivalent in Indiana, drawing on two waves of interviews with human resource personnel, supervising managers, and lactating workers. In many ways, this simple law - requiring break time and privacy for pumping - is a success story. Through advocacy by allies, education of managers, and employee initiative, many organizations created compliant accommodations. This book shows legal scholars how a successful civil rights law creates effective change; helps labor activists and management personnel understand how to approach new accommodations; and enables workers to understand the possibilities for amelioration of workplace problems through internal negotiations and legal reforms.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
