The effect of interventions on flat and inverted nipple on breastfeeding: A systematic review.

BACKGROUND: Some methods have been developed to solve flat and/or inverted nipple problems. This study aimed to examine the effects of flat and/or inverted nipple interventions on nipples and breastfeeding. METHODS: Before initiating the review, the protocol was registered in the 'PROSPERO' database. This study was based on the PRISMA-P guideline. Seven databases (Web of Science, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, The Cochrane Library, TÜBITAK Ulakbim and Google Scholar) were searched, and nine studies were included in this review. RESULTS: Hoffman's exercise, the inverted syringe method, and the nipple exercise was quite effective in increasing breastfeeding success. The rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the first, third, and sixth months of mothers followed up with postpartum multidimensional visits was found to be significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group (p < 0.05). A study in which a rubber band was applied with the help of an injector on flat and inverted nipples showed that 63% of mothers on the third day and all of them in the first month were able to breastfeed without a rubber band. Hoffman's exercise, the inverted syringe technique, and rubber bands corrected the flat and/or inverted nipple. There were studies reporting complications as a result of nipple interventions. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: It is necessary to disseminate the information that breastfeeding of mothers with flat and/or inverted nipples can be sustained with various interventions. Furthermore, it is believed that providing mothers with a chance to choose the interventions, and thus, the compliance of mothers to the intervention with the method of their choice may increase the success of the intervention.

Causes of burnout in nursing seniors: A mixed methods study.

BACKGROUND: In recent years, the issue of burnout in newly graduated and student nurses has become an increasing interest of researchers. Burnout seriously affects the behavior, health, life and relationships of individuals. OBJECTIVES: This research was conducted to investigate the causes of burnout in nursing senior students in depth. DESIGN: This research, based on mixed method, was carried out with a sequential exploratory design. PARTICIPANTS: The study was conducted with 148 nursing students in their last year at a university in the Marmara Region of Türkiye. METHOD: Data were collected with Personal Information Form, The Burnout Measure Short Version (BMS) and Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Form (MBI-SF) between March and April 2022. Qualitative interviews were conducted face-to-face with 16 students determined by criterion sampling method between May and June 2022. A semi-structured interview form was used to collect qualitative data. Descriptive statistics (number, percentage, mean, standard deviation) were used for the analysis of quantitative data. Thematic analysis was performed for qualitative data. RESULTS: The mean BMS total score for the sample group was 4.50. MBI-SF sub-dimension mean scores; It is in the form of exhaustion (16.52), depersonalization (12.66) and competence (12.41). According to the scores of nursing senior students from BMS, it was determined that 22.3 % (n = 33) had burnout, 23 % (n = 34) had a serious burnout problem, and 28.4 % (n = 42) needed professional help as soon as possible. In addition, three main themes emerged as a result of the thematic analysis: (i) Effects of Burnout, (ii) Factors Affecting Burnout, (iii) Ways to Cope with Burnout. CONCLUSION: It was determined that one of the five nursing students was in danger of burnout. The prevalence of burnout in nursing senior students was 73.7 %. Besides, it was determined that the problems experienced in the student's nursing education and professional practices, the pandemic process, financial concerns, family-related situations, not finding time for social activities, and future anxiety were the factors causing burnout.

Water consumption in 0-6-month-old healthy infants and effective factors: A systematic review / Consumo de agua en lactantes sanos de cero a seis meses y factores efectivos: una revisión sistemática

INTRODUCTION: Early introduction of fluids and water affects the duration of breastfeeding, the infant immune system, and possibly causes infants to consume less breast milk, which may, in turn, affect their nutritional and immune status. OBJECTIVE: This study was carried out to determine water consumption in 0-6-month-old infants and the factors affecting this consumption. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A literature review was conducted in seven electronic databases (Medline, Web of Science, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and TÜBITAK) for studies published until April 25, 2022, using the keywords: drinking water, infant, and breastfeeding. RESULTS: The systematic review included 13 studies. Five studies were crosssectional, three were descriptive and quasi-experimental, and the others were case-control and cohort studies. It was reported in the examined studies that 86.2% of the infants were around 6 weeks old, 44 % of the infants were 1 month old, 77% were 3 months old, 2.5% were 4 months old, and 2.5 to 85% of the infants were around 6 months old when they first consumed water. The prominent reasons for making the infants drink water are the thought that they need it and cultural reasons. CONCLUSIONS: The exclusive breastfeeding of 0-6-month-old infants is the recommendation of reliable health authorities. Nurses play a key role in implementing this practice. In this systematic review, it was seen that families gave their infants water at varying rates in the 0-6-month period, and the factors affecting this situation were revealed. If nurses determine which factors affect families in terms of the early introduction of fluids, they could be able to plan the necessary education and interventions.

Introducción: La introducción temprana de líquidos y agua afecta la duración de la lactancia, el sistema inmune del lactante y posiblemente hace que los lactantes consuman menos leche materna, lo que a su vez puede afectar su estado nutricional e inmunitario. Objetivo: Este estudio se realizó para determinar el consumo de agua en bebés de cero a seis meses y los factores que inciden en este consumo. Objetivo: Este estudio se realizó para determinar el consumo de agua en bebés de cero a seis meses y los factores que inciden en este consumo. Materiales y métodos: se hizo una revisión de la literatura en siete bases de dato electrónicas (Medline, Web of Science, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Cochrane Library y TÜBITAK) para estudios publicados hasta el 25 de abril de 2022, utilizando las palabras clave: agua potable, lactante y lactancia. Resultados: La revisión sistemática incluyó 13 estudios. Cinco fueron estudios transversales, tres fueron descriptivos, cuasiexperimentales y los restantes fueron estudios de casos y controles, y de cohortes. En los estudios examinados se informó que le dieron agua al 86,2 % de los lactantes de seis semanas, al 44 % de los lactantes de un mes, al 77 % de los lactantes de tres meses, al 2,5 % de los lactantes de cuatro meses y al 2,5 % a 85 % de los lactantes de seis meses. Las razones principales para dar agua a los bebés son la idea de que los bebés necesitan agua y razones culturales. Conclusiones: La lactancia materna exclusiva es la recomendación de las autoridades sanitarias para los bebés de cero a seis meses. Las enfermeras juegan un papel clave en la implementación de esta práctica. En esta revisión sistemática se observó que las familias daban agua a sus bebés en proporciones variables durante el período de cero a seis meses y se revelaron los factores que inciden en esta situación. Si las enfermeras determinan qué factores afectan a las familias en cuanto a la introducción temprana de líquidos, podrían planificar las medidas educativas y las intervenciones necesarias.
