Breastfeeding support received by Turkish first-time mothers

Demirtas, B.·2012·International Nursing Review

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Research conducted to examine nurses' breastfeeding support to first-time mothers is sparse in Turkey. AIM: To identify informational, practical and emotional support that mothers had received from nurses in the early postpartum period. METHODS: A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 192 mothers who took part in the research prior to discharge from a maternity hospital in Ankara, Turkey. Mean, standard deviation and percentages were used to analyze the maternal characteristics. Chi-square test was used to analyze informational, practical and emotional support received by the mothers in relation to socio-demographic characteristics. Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate risk factors for in-hospital formula supplementation and experiencing breastfeeding problem. RESULTS: The mothers stated that the information provided should be adequate (41%), given individually (36.3%) and taught through practice (41%). Supplementary feeding was the only statistically significant predictor of in-hospital breastfeeding problems [P<0.01, odds ratio (OR) 0.109, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.33-0.361]. Experiencing a breastfeeding problem, not receiving practical support, and the unavailability of nurses were statistically significant predictors of supplementation respectively (P<0.01, OR 0.084, 95% CI 0.023-0.309; P<0.05, OR 0.239, 95% CI 0.071-0.809; P<0.05, OR 3.442, 95% CI 1.059-11.183, respectively). CONCLUSION: Informational, practical and emotional support offered by nurses has the potential to make a difference in reducing breastfeeding problems and in-hospital supplementation. Practical support could be enhanced through effective implementation of early maternal/infant skin-to-skin contact in a busy hospital environment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
