Filter by:The study is a randomized controlled study planned to determine the effect of the VRBaby-Pump application applied to mothers who gave birth preterm, on the mother's breast milk expression experience, transition process, and milk amount. In the study, the effectiveness of the VRBaby-Pump application will be evaluated based on evidence using the Breastfeeding Experience and Transition to Motherhood Scale. Stratified and block randomization methods will be used in the study. The study data will be collected from mothers who gave birth preterm at the Perinatology clinic of Health Sciences University (SBU) Antalya Training and Research Hospital between September and December 2023.
Abstract According to the definition by World Health Organization; births before the completion of the 37th gestational week are called, preterm birth. Preterm birth is among the most important causes of mortality and morbidity during infancy. Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common gastrointestinal emergency encountered in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The most common risk factors are, preterm birth, enteral feeding and bacterial colonization. Late Onset Sepsis (LOS) is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in the preterm infants. A healthy gut microbiota has a key role in developing and maintaining a balanced immune response and establishing the intestinal barrier in the immediate postnatal period. Probiotics come to the fore as means that may be effective in preventing NEC and LOS. Although it is widely accepted that, breast milk has its own microbiota, the origin of these bacterial populations in the milk, has not been fully understood. The new information regarding especially the anaerobic species associated with the intestinal environments that cannot be found in the aerobic environments, suggests an endogenous route to the mammary gland through the presence of the entero-mammary pathway. The aim of this project is to determine the effect of the probiotics added to the maternal diet on the incidence of encountering NEC and LOS in the preterm infants. The unique value of this project is that, 80 ml of probiotic yogurt will be given to mothers of the preterm infants, who still breastfeed their babies, for 20 days and the effects on the baby will be examined in the scope of the study. The study has been planned to be conducted as a randomized controlled study in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Şanlıurfa Training and Research Hospital. The power analysis was performed with G*Power for the sample size of the study, which has an experimental/control design structure. The sample size was determined as 50 in total. Data collection tools were organized as Mother and Infant Introductory Information Form (23 questions), Mother and Infant Follow-up Form during Probiotic Implementation (7 questions). At the beginning of the study, all mothers will fill out the mother and baby introductory information form, and the mothers in the experimental group will be given 80 ml probiotic yogurt support once a day for 20 days. In addition to that, all the babies will be monitored for growth once a week, throughout the process. Their status of regular breastfeeding, whether they are diagnosed with NEC and LOS, the time of transition to oral feeding, their bilirubin levels, their status of receiving phototherapy and their discharge durations will be evaluated, and a questionnaire that consists of scale questions will be applied after the discharge. As a result of this project, it is aimed with the probiotic that will be added to maternal nutrition to reduce the encounter of NEC and LOS in preterm infants, to positively affect the intestinal microbiota by preventing dysbiosis in these infants, to protect them from very important problems such as NEC and LOS as well as accelerating the transition to oral feeding, to help them gain weight, to shorten the duration of receiving phototherapy and hospitalization by reducing the bilirubin levels.
Background: Expressing breast milk in cases where breastfeeding is interrupted is important for infants to be fed breast milk however, many factors can affect mothers' breastfeeding experience, such as feeding attitudes and the level of social support. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship mothers' breast milk expression experience between infant feeding attitudes and perceived social support level. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the postpartum and lactation unit of a city hospital in Istanbul, between September-November 2022. The study included 455 women who were volunteering to participate in the research, 18 years of age or older, in the 0-6 months postpartum period, having a living baby, continuing to breastfeed, and expressing breast milk at least once after birth. Data were collected with Mother-Baby Introductory Information Form, Breast Milk Expression Experience Measure (BMEE), Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS), and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). The data were analyzed using the SPSS-21 statistical software package. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Which characteristics affect mothers' breast milk expression experiences, infant feeding attitudes, and perceived social support levels in the early postpartum period? - Is there a relationship between mothers' experiences of breast milk expression and their infant feeding attitudes and social support levels in the early postpartum period?
Breast-feeding; It is the basic step of newborn, maternal and community health. Breastfeeding counseling, which is planned to encourage, initiate and continue breastfeeding in line with the recommendations of the World Health Organization, is extremely important in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Breastfeeding counseling with mixed reality technology will contribute to the literature. The research will be carried out between January 2023 and December 2024 in the hospitals in Mersin with a delivery room. The universe will consist of all pregnant women who come to the obstetrics clinics of the specified hospitals for follow-up purposes. G Power 3.1 program was used for sampling. By using the G Power 3.1 program in the sample calculation (30); According to the Cohen Guidelines (Cohen's d); effect size was 0.5, power was 0.80, and significance level was 0.05. It was calculated as 102 people, with at least 51 people in the intervention group and at least 51 people in the control group. The sample number was determined as 112 pregnant women to receive 10% (5 each) for the intervention and control groups in case the participants dropped out of the study. In the study, "Block Randomization" method, which is one of the fixed probability randomization methods, will be used in order to ensure homogeneity between the groups and to eliminate selection bias. In the intervention group; Introductory Information Form, Antenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale will be applied as a pre-test to pregnant women in their 3rd trimester and breastfeeding counseling based on mixed reality technology will be given. The LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnosis and Evaluation Scale and Postpartum Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale will be filled in within 24 hours and on the 7th day after giving birth. The same steps will be performed for the pregnant women in the control group, and unlike the intervention group, counseling will be applied with Power Point technique instead of mixed reality technology. Statistical analyzes will be made using a package program called SPSS (IBM SPSS Statistics 24). In descriptive statistical analysis, mean, standard deviation, median, frequency, percentile, minimum and maximum values will be calculated. Descriptive, parametric and nonparametric statistical analysis methods will be used in the analysis of the data. Various studies have been conducted in Turkey using different methods on breastfeeding counseling, but no study has been found in which breastfeeding counseling was provided with mixed reality technology. Therefore, a randomized controlled experimental type study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of mixed reality technology-based breastfeeding counseling on breastfeeding success and self-efficacy of women.
The study was planned to determine the effect of showing photographs, videos and live images of premature babies who could not be breastfed in the neonatal intensive care unit to their mothers on the amount of breast milk, mother-infant attachment and breastfeeding self-efficacy. It is a randomized controlled experimental study.
Motivation, which is also necessary for the breastfeeding behavior of mothers in the postpartum period, can affect the success and continuity of breastfeeding. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of hypno-breastfeeding and solution-oriented approach on breastfeeding motivation and insufficient milk perception in mothers. It is a randomized controlled experimental study. The sample of the study consisted of 90 women who met the inclusion criteria, three groups as the hypno-breastfeeding group, the solution-focused approach group and the control group.
This study aims to determine whether a 20-day supplement with either Oat Mama Lactation Supplement, moringa, or shatavari has any impact on milk production through an increase in serum prolactin levels when compared to the placebo group. This data will be used to determine if clinical recommendations can be made for the use of the studied supplements in increasing milk supply.
This is a cohort study to understand the changes of breastmilk composition in the first six months after birth of Chinese infants.
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.
The objective of this trial is to evaluate the effect of the consumption of a combination of probiotic strains (Prob-milk) and of a combination of plant extracts plus an inactivated probiotic strain (VoluntasProb) on the production volume and the nutritional composition and the microbiota. of breast milk in lactating women.
