Filter by:In the first half hour of a cesarean advertisement, the service-oriented mother will not be mobile and will need support to get fit in bed and start getting started. The patient turning and movement system will provide a lot of convenience to the mother who does not have enough support. With the remote control system, the mother will be easily turned to the desired side in the bed and it will be ensured that she takes the desired position with less pain and more comfort.
Purpose: This study will be conducted to determine the effect of digital game supported web-based breastfeeding education and counseling on breastfeeding self-efficacy, breastfeeding success and breast problems. Method: This is an experimental study with a randomized controlled pretest-posttest parallel group, and 30 women will be included in the experimental group and 30 women in the control group. In the study, Pregnant Women's Individual and Obstetric Characteristics Evaluation Form, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale Short Form (EÖYÖ), LATCH Breastfeeding Assessment Tool, Breastfeeding Evaluation Scale (IBFAT), Breastfeeding Behavior and Breast Problems Evaluation Form will be used. The data will be analyzed in SPSS program. In the Digital Game Supported Web-Based Breastfeeding Education and Counseling Program, the educational content prepared by the researcher will be integrated into the game program designed with the gamification technique. An education program will be applied to the women in the experimental group during pregnancy and postpartum period. Women in the control group will receive the standard breastfeeding training in the hospital. Measurement tools will be applied to all participants for a total of three times, once before birth and twice after birth. Conclusion and Suggestions: In this planned study, it was aimed to teach women about breastfeeding in a digital environment in a fun way. It is thought that web-based breastfeeding education and counseling supported by digital games will have a positive effect on breastfeeding self-efficacy, breastfeeding success and breast problems.
Optimal breastfeeding practices are essential for child survival, growth, development, and for the health of mothers. Globally, optimal breastfeeding practices are still low and breastfeeding practices are not optimal in Ethiopia. Male partners have an important but often neglected role in the promotion of breastfeeding practices and currently, male partners are not targeted in breastfeeding education provided by health care providers. The effect of breastfeeding interventions delivered to male partners on optimal breastfeeding has not been studied in the Ethiopian context. It is important to investigate breastfeeding promotion education and support provided to male partners compared to the usual care effective in improving optimal breastfeeding practice in lactating mothers. Therefore, in this study cluster-randomized controlled trials will be conducted to evaluate the effect of breastfeeding education and support provided to male partners on optimal breastfeeding practice in Ethiopia.
Based on plasma and milk concentrations, a PopPK model will be performed (i) to document the average and individual exposure to amoxicillin in milk, (ii) to identify the factors explaining the inter-individual pharmacokinetic variability and (iii) to determine the daily dose ingested by the infant and its variability for different dosage regimens applied to the mother. The secondary objectives are to monitor (i) predefined adverse reactions in infants and (ii) the impact on milk production.
Low birth weight (LBW) infant (1800-2449 gram) will be given the new human milk fortifier (HMF) which contains protein, lipid, carbohydrate and micronutrients after discharge. Human Milk Fortifier or placebo (carbohydrate only with similar calorie content) will be provided until 3 months of age. The investigators want to evaluate if the addition of HMF to mother's milk while breastfeeding LBW infants after discharge influences growth and body composition up to 3 months of age.
This study aims to explore whether quarantine measures, social distancing and hospital containment policies among women giving birth during the COVID-19 pandemic enhanced psycho-emotional distress in the immediate postpartum period. The investigators tested for depression using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) in the first 6 postpartum months, and then used the Fear of COVID-19 Scale, measuring also the adherence and practices of breastfeeding according to WHO.
A randomized control trial was made to determine the effectiveness of structured education and follow-up in the management of perceived milk insufficiency among breastfeeding mothers.
We will aim to study the impact of introducing a smartphone-based daily feedback and communication platform between postpartum women delivering at our institute and a multidisciplinary breastfeeding-support team (obstetricians, neonatologists, midwives, lactation consultants, nurses, and psychologist) on breastfeeding rates.
Childhood obesity is a serious problem in the United States, as it increases the risk for various cardiometabolic, pulmonary, and psychosocial complications for children, which often continue into adulthood. Examination of disparities in early childhood obesity among ethnic groups shows that Hispanic infants/children have higher rates of overweight and obesity than children/infants of other races/ethnicities. According to the most recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2014), the prevalence of high weight for recumbent length (≥95th percentile) among infant and toddlers from birth to 2 years was 6.6% in Whites, 8.4% in Blacks, and 9.4% in Hispanics. Furthermore, the percentages of children ages 2 through 5 years who are overweight or obese (Body Mass Index [BMI] ≥ 85th) were 20.9% among non-Hispanic Whites, 21.9% among non-Hispanic Blacks, and 29.8% among Hispanics. These data suggest that ethnic disparities in childhood obesity prevalence have their origins in the earliest stages of life. Bergmann et al. reported that infants that received early formula artificial feeding by 3 months had significantly higher BMIs and thicker skin fold than exclusively breastfed infants, and from 6 months on, compared with breastfed children, a consistently higher proportion of artificially-fed children exceeded the 90th and 97th percentile of BMI and skin folder thickness reference values. Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF), defined as exclusive infant feeding with breast milk without any additional food or drink, is the feeding option engendering greatest nutrition and health, imparting enhanced glucose management and reductions in early childhood obesity. Hispanic mothers in the U.S. are more likely to supplement with formula in the first 2 days of life, compared with Black and White U.S. mothers (Hispanic 33%; Black 28%; White 22%). Additionally, a common feeding practice among Hispanic mothers is the early introduction of solids including ethnic food. The introduction of formula or complementary food in breastfed Hispanic infants produces an overfeeding problem that leads to childhood obesity. In a study published by this team of investigators on infant feeding management in Hispanic women living in Kentucky was reported that even when 51% of the group of Hispanic mothers initiated EBF during hospital stay, only 22% continued EBF at 4 months after birth. These trends underscore the critical need for intervention to support EBF in this population. Objectives: There is great opportunity and immense need to empower vulnerable, at-risk Hispanic mother/infant dyads to prevent and manage childhood obesity by increasing duration and EBF and delaying the introduction of complementary food. The primary aim of this pilot study was to determinate the feasibility and evaluate the clinical impact of a novel, tailored, culturally and linguistically appropriate community-based intervention. The intervention was delivered by Hispanics bilingual/bicultural team of an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and a peer counselor (PC) and was tested in terms of its influence on key modifiable factors that are positively associated with increasing breastfeeding duration and exclusivity: (a) mother's breastfeeding intention; (b) breastfeeding self-efficacy; and (c) perceived social support. Specific aims for this study are: Aim 1: Determine the feasibility of the intervention. This aim is designed to answer the following important research questions: Q-1: Is the planned recruitment period sufficient to enroll the targeted number of participants? Q-2: What percent of treatment group participants will complete all sessions of the intervention? Q-3: What percent of participants will be retained in the study until the conclusion? Q-4: What factors are associated with intervention adherence and study retention? Aim 2: Evaluate the clinical impact of the intervention. The following hypotheses will be tested: Hypothesis #1: Women in the intervention group will have higher intention to breastfeed during the pre-natal period and will perceive greater self-efficacy and social support during postnatal period, compared with the usual care group. Hypothesis #2: Women in the intervention group will be more likely to initiate EBF during their post-delivery in-hospital stay than those in the usual care group. Hypothesis #3: Among those who practice EBF during their hospital stay, women in the intervention group will be more likely to continue EBF for six months than women in the usual care group. Hypothesis #4: Women in the intervention group will have longer time to introduction of complementary food to their infants compared with the usual care group.
The time between birth and age 24 months provides a unique opportunity to impact the long-term health and development of children through improved infant and young child feeding practices. In Burkina Faso, the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding is currently around 25% in infants younger than six months. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the Alive & Thrive intervention package, consisting of interpersonal counselling and community mobilisation activities, can increase the exclusive breastfeeding rate among infants younger than six months to at least 50% using a cluster randomised design.
