Relaciones institucionales en la implementación de estrategias de promoción, protección y apoyo de la lactancia materna: una revisión integrativa / Institutional relationships in the implementation of breastfeeding promotion, protection and support strategies: an integrative review

Fundamentos: la importancia que tiene la lactancia materna en la salud y calidad de vida de los individuos hace necesario que las políticas establecidas para su promoción sean operadas mediante la participación y articulación de instituciones y a través de redes interinstitucionales. Métodos: para la compilación de la información se hizo una revisión integrativa de literatura, cuyo propósito fue ampliar la comprensión de un tema a partir de la recopilación, sistematización y análisis de producciones científicas. Resultados: se seleccionaron 14 artículos publicados entre 2013 y 2020 y, en su mayoría, escritos en inglés, provenientes de países como Estados Unidos, Alemania, Reino Unido y Samoa. Los temas más recurrentes fueron el análisis de políticas públicas, la coordinación de programas y la percepción del funcionamiento de las estrategias de promoción, protección y apoyo a la lactancia materna. En conclusión: las relaciones intra e interinstitucionales son claves a la hora de implementar políticas de promoción de la lactancia materna. Sin embargo, para su puesta en marcha, se requiere financiación y articulación en los niveles operativos de sistemas de salud. En definitiva, las labores de articulación, seguimiento y evaluación requieren relaciones fortalecidas que fomenten, protejan, promuevan y apoyen la práctica de la lactancia materna. (AU)

Background: the importance of breastfeeding in the health and quality of life of individuals makes it necessary for the policies established for its promotion to be implemented through the participation and coordination of institutions and through inter-institutional networks. Methods: for the compilation of the information, an integrative literature review was carried out, the purpose of which was to broaden the understanding of a topic through the collection, systematization and analysis of scientific productions. Results: 14 articles published between 2013 and 2020 and mostly written in English were selected from countries such as the United States, Germany, United Kingdom and Samoa. The most recurrent themes were the analysis of public policies, program coordination and perceptions of the functioning of breastfeeding promotion, protection and support strategies. Conclusions: Intra- and inter-institutional relationships are key to the implementation of breastfeeding promotion policies. However, their implementation requires funding and coordination at the operational levels of health systems. In short the articulation, monitoring and evaluation require strengthened relationships that encourage, protect, promote and support the practice of breastfeeding. (AU)

Management of lactating breast abscesses by ultrasound-guided needle aspiration and continuation of breastfeeding: A pilot study.

INTRODUCTION: Needle aspiration of breast abscesses during lactation are currently recommended as an alternative to surgery only for moderate forms. In case of breast abscess, many patients stop breastfeeding on the advice of a health professional. We reviewed our experience of treatment of lactating breast abscesses by ultrasound-guided aspiration and suggest an algorithm of their management. We also analyzed the continuation of breastfeeding of these patients after advices from trained teams. MATERIEL AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study from April 2016 to April 2017, including 28 patients referred for a breast abscess during lactation at the Duroc Breast Imaging Center. A management by ultrasound-guided aspiration was proposed to each patient. We collected data about the breastfeeding between October 2018 and January 2019. RESULTS: A single aspiration was sufficient in 64.3% of cases. The delay between the occurrence of the abscess and the indication for drainage was significantly higher for patients who have needed finally surgical drainage (p = 0,0031). There were no difference of size of abscesses between patients receiving needle aspiration alone and those who have undergone surgery (p = 0,97). All patients who had been managed by needle aspiration continued breastfeeding after the treatment and 40% of the patients were still breastfeeding at 6 months. CONCLUSION: The management of lactating breast abscess by ultrasound-guided needle aspiration is an effective alternative to surgery. It appears to be effective regardless of the size of the abscess and is compatible with the continuation of breastfeeding. Our study has indeed shown that if they are well advised, the majority of patients continue breastfeeding so that it is essential that health professionals be better trained regarding the management of breastfeeding complications.

Abstract Objective To understand the experience of mothers of tracheostomized children between 0 and 24 months old, who resumed breastfeeding with the use of the Passy-Muir® deglutition valve. Method A descriptive study with a qualitative approach and semistructured interviews conducted from June to August 2017 in which the participants were 11 mothers of tracheostomized children, by follow-up in a rehabilitation and logopedia center, which adapted the Passy-Muir® deglutition valve. The analysis was based on the assumptions of thematic content analysis. Results the mothers' experience, after the child's tracheostomy, the use of the Passy-Muir® swallowing valve minimized the difficulties in breastfeeding. Once the valve adaptation process was overcome, its benefits were realized. The mothers' feelings in the process of adapting the valve are described, their expectations with the use of the valve and pleasure and fullness for the woman in the return of breastfeeding. Conclusions and implications for practice Safety during breastfeeding, reduction in the production of secretions, and reductions in the number of airway aspirations were observed, noticing improvements in the respiratory pattern, in the vocalizations (mumbling and crying), and in the child's sleep quality. Further research is needed to address breastfeeding of tracheostomized children to deepen knowledge in this area.

Dez passos para o sucesso no aleitamento materno: influência na continuidade da amamentação / Ten steps to breastfeeding success: the influence on breastfeeding continuity / Diez pasos para una lactancia exitosa: influencia en la continuidad de la lactancia materna

Objetivo: Avaliar as evidências, de produções científicas brasileiras, acerca da influência dos 10 passos para o sucesso do aleitamento materno na continuidade da amamentação. Método: revisão integrativa de produções científicas brasileiras, desenvolvida em junho de 2017, nas bases eletrônicas de dados LILACS, SCOPUS e PUBMED. Resultados: a normatização da assistência interfere positivamente na continuidade da amamentação. Treinar a equipe de saúde aumenta a prevalência de aleitamento materno. Orientar as vantagens e o manejo da lactação protege contra mastites, aleitamento misto e desmame precoce. Aqueles que receberam apoio no aleitamento materno na primeira meia hora após o parto estiveram mais propensos a mantê-lo no domicílio. Oferta de substitutos do leite materno, chupetas ou bicos artificiais interfere negativamente no estabelecimento e manutenção da amamentação. Conclusão: conclui-se, que os dez passos influenciam na continuidade da amamentação e, portanto, é importante que se amplie a cobertura nacional da IHAC

Objective: To evaluate the evidence of Brazilian scientific production about the influence of the 10 steps to succeed on breastfeeding continuity. Method: integrative review of Brazilian scientific literature developed at the databases LILACS, SCOPUS and MEDLINE in June of 2017. Results: the standardization of care positively interferes on breastfeeding continuity. Health team training increases the prevalence of breastfeeding. Professional orientation on the advantages and management of lactation protects against mastitis, mixed suckling and early weaning. Those who received support in breastfeeding within the first half hour after delivery were more likely to keep it at home. Provision of breast milk substitutes, pacifiers or artificial nipples interferes negatively in stablishing and maintaining breastfeeding. Conclusion: it is concluded that the ten steps influence on the continuity of breastfeeding and, therefore, it is important to expand the Child Friendly Hospital Initiative national coverage

OBJETIVO: Validar en enfermeras el cuestionario «Encuesta sobre conocimientos en lactancia» (ECoLa). DISEÑO: Estudio de validación, con una adaptación lingüística previa, acorde a las competencias y formación de las enfermeras. Emplazamiento: Cantabria. PARTICIPANTES: Enfermeras generalistas, especialistas en pediatría y matronas del Servicio Cántabro de Salud, con responsabilidad en el cuidado madre-hijo. Mediciones principales: Se evaluaron las propiedades psicométricas de la versión para enfermería del ECoLa. Consistencia interna: mediante alfa-Cronbach para las preguntas de respuesta múltiple y para el global, y la fórmula de Kuder-Richardson (KR20) para las preguntas con respuestas dicotómicas. Concordancia interobservadores: mediante el coeficiente kappa en los ítems 18 y 21. Fiabilidad test-retest: con 11 sujetos mediante el coeficiente de correlación intraclase. RESULTADOS: La puntuación media del cuestionario fue de 21,15±4,67 puntos. No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas con respecto al sexo, ni al número de hijos. Hubo asociación entre la puntuación obtenida en el cuestionario y la experiencia previa en lactancia y con el perfil profesional (matrona 24,23 puntos, enfermera especialista en pediatría 21,20 puntos, enfermera 20 puntos; p < 0,01). Consistencia interna: KR20 de 0,802. El α-Cronbach para preguntas de respuesta múltiple fue de 0,719, y para la totalidad fue de 0,866. Concordancia interobservadores: ítem 18 (kappa = 0,6), ítem 30 (kappa = 0,825), puntuación total (kappa = 0,856). Fiabilidad test-retest: puntuación global (CCI = 0,856; IC 95% 0,55-0,96), pregunta 30 (CCI = 0,93; IC 95% 0,75-0,98). CONCLUSIONES: La escala posee propiedades psicométricas que hacen válido y fiable su uso en la evaluación de la formación de los profesionales de enfermería

OBJECTIVE: To validate the "Questionnaire on breastfeeding knowledge and skills" in Nurses (EcoLa). DESIGN: A validation study, with prior linguistic adaptation, according to the skills and training of the nurses. LOCATION: Cantabria. PARTICIPANTS: General nurses, paediatrics specialists, and midwives from the Cantabrian Health Service, with responsibility for mother-child care. MAIN MEASUREMENTS:The psychometric properties of the nursing version of ECoLa were evaluated. Internal consistency was measured using alpha-Cronbach for multiple choice and overall answer questions, and Kuder-Richardson's formula (KR20) for dichotomous response questions. Inter-observer concordance was measured using the kappa coefficient in items 18 and 21, and the test-retest reliability with 11 subjects using the intraclass correlation coefficient. RESULTS: The mean score in the questionnaire was 21.15±4.67 points. There were no statistically significant differences as regards the gender or number of children. There was an association between the score obtained in the questionnaire and previous experience in lactation, and with the professional profile (midwife 24.23 points, paediatric nurse 21.20 points, and general nurse 20 points; P < .01). The internal consistency showed a KR20 of 0.802, and the α-Cronbach for multiple-choice questions was 0.719, and 0.866 for overall. Interobserver concordance for Item 18 had a kappa = 0.6, for item 30 kappa = 0.825), and for total score the kappa = 0.856). The test-retest reliability overall score (CCI = 0.856, 95% CI 0.55-0.96), and for question 30 (CCI = 0.93, 95% CI 0.75-0.98). CONCLUSIONS: The questionnaire scale has psychometric properties that make its use valid and reliable in the evaluation of the training of nursing professionals

Engaging African American Parents to Develop a Mobile Health Technology for Breastfeeding: KULEA-NET.

BACKGROUND: African Americans breastfeed less than other groups, which has implications for health throughout the life course. Little is known about mobile health technologies to support breastfeeding. RESEARCH AIMS: This study proceeded in two phases. The aim of Phase 1 was to identify ideal technological components and content of a mobile health intervention. The aim of Phase 2 was to determine the usability of a prototype, KULEA-NET, based on the Phase 1 findings. METHODS: For this mixed-methods study, we used community-based participatory research methods and user-centered technology design methods. We used open coding in NVivo 11 to organize data from focus groups and in-depth interviews, then we analyzed the data. We then developed a prototype and tested the prototype's usability with the System Usability Scale. Fifty pregnant and postpartum African Americans from the District of Columbia participated. RESULTS: Participants preferred an app with text messaging technology and identified areas for intervention: self-efficacy, parent-child attachment beliefs, social support, public breastfeeding and social desirability, and returning to work. Desired features included local resources, support person access, baby care logs, identification of public breastfeeding venues, and peer discussions. The System Usability Scale score was 73.8, which indicates above average usability. CONCLUSIONS: A mobile health technology like KULEA-NET can be used to meet the breastfeeding needs of African Americans, build social desirability, and complement traditional health care. The appeal of an African American-specific intervention is unclear. Responding to mixed feeding practices is challenging. KULEA-NET is a mobile breastfeeding intervention guided by the preferences of African American parents and offers promising usability metrics.
