Filter by:Microchimeric cells are known to be transferred from mother to child through the placenta. However it has been postulated that they could also be transferred through breastfeeding. This study is designed to analyse lymphoid and digestive tract tissues (tonsils and appendixes) in male infants (or young adults) to research microchimeric female cells and try to correlate the frequency and localisation of said cells to the breastfeeding status during early infancy
Breastfeeding rates of infants in intensive care units in the world and in Turkey are undesirably low due to the conditions of infants, mothers and healthcare workers, which threatens the health of newborns in many aspects in the early and future periods. It is thought that the visual materials and tools used in breastfeeding education can be effective both in the permanence of the acquired knowledge and in the transformation of the knowledge into behavior. This study was conducted to determine the effect of video-assisted breastfeeding and breastfeeding education given to mothers of hospitalized newborns on breastfeeding self-efficacy and breastfeeding success. Hypotheses Hypothesis 01: Video-assisted breastfeeding and breastfeeding education given to mothers of hospitalized newborns does not affect breastfeeding self-efficacy of mothers. Hypothesis 1: Video-assisted breastfeeding and breastfeeding education given to mothers of hospitalized newborns increases mothers' breastfeeding self-efficacy. Hypothesis 02: Video-assisted breast milk and breastfeeding education given to mothers of hospitalized newborns does not affect mothers' breastfeeding success. Hypothesis 2: Video-assisted breastfeeding and breastfeeding education given to mothers of hospitalized newborns increases the breastfeeding success of mothers. This research is a non-randomized quasi-experimental study in a two-group pretest-posttest design. The research was carried out in the neonatal intensive care level 2 unit of a university hospital located in the north of Turkey. In the study, mothers who met the inclusion criteria were assigned to the education group (EG) (n=44) and the control group (CG) (n=44), some mothers did not continue the education program and left the study. In this case, the study was completed with 41 mothers in EG and 43 mothers in CG. Video assisted breastfeeding training was given to the intervention group. Only the hospital's routine general breastfeeding training was given to the control group, and no other intervention was made.Breastfeeding self-efficacy with the Postpartum Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form and breastfeeding success levels with the LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnostic Measurement Tool were evaluated at the beginning of the study (pretest) and after three days of breastfeeding training (posttest).
The study was planned in a randomized controlled study design to determine the effect of kinesio taping applied to women who gave birth by cesarean section on acute pain, comfort level and breastfeeding behavior. The study will be carried out at Hacettepe University Adult Hospital. The universe of the research will be women who gave birth by cesarean section at Hacettepe University Hospital during the study. Women who are planned for a cesarean section, meet the inclusion criteria and volunteer, will be informed about the practice and will be included in the sample of the research. There will be two groups assigned by the randomization method in the study. It is planned that 24 women will be formed in one of them, 48 women in total. In addition to routine treatment and care, kinesio taping will be applied to women in the intervention group; the control group will receive only routine treatment and care.
The goal of the study is to examine the impact of an educational video on the rate of breastfeeding in mothers who had gestational diabetes mellitus, and the rate of type-II diabetes mellitus diagnosed postpartum.
This study will be conducted to determine the effect of breastfeeding program integrated with art therapy such as mandala painting on postpartum breastfeeding self-efficacy, breastfeeding rates, and mother-infant attachment of primiparous mothers. Training on breastfeeding and mother-baby bonding and mandala drawings supporting the training will be sent online to primiparous pregnant women who are at 32-36 weeks of gestation and agree to participate in the study. Telephone follow-up and counseling will continue in the postpartum period. In the postpartum period, follow-up and counseling will continue until the second month.
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.
This pilot clinical trial aims to integrate maternal smoking cessation and breastfeeding interventions to enhance both cancer prevention behaviors. The investigators will recruit 40 daily smoking women in their early pregnancy and randomize them into the integrated intervention or control group. Main outcomes include smoking abstinence and breastfeeding rates at 6 months postpartum.
Nutritional status during pregnancy plays an important role in maternal health and birth outcomes. While few factors impacting nutritional status during pregnancy have been identified, studies of undernutrition in children have revealed a key role for the gut microbiome. Remarkably, studies examining the dynamics of the maternal gut microbiome before and during pregnancy and its impact on birth outcomes are limited. This study is being conducted to investigate how a mother's nutritional status and her gut microbiome during pregnancy contribute to the birth outcomes and health of her baby. The gut microbiome is the totality of microorganisms (e.g. bacteria, viruses, fungi) living in the gastrointestinal tract. This study will focus on married pregnant women 24 years and younger living in Matiari District in Pakistan. The focus is on younger women due to their vulnerability to undernutrition. Pregnant participants, and upon delivery, their newborns will be followed throughout pregnancy and for a year afterwards. Throughout this period, the investigators will collect stool samples, rectal swabs, blood samples, health assessments, nutritional and dietary assessments and birth/ labour details. The goal is to define the relationship between a mother's nutritional status and her microbiome dynamics during pregnancy and how they contribute to the birth outcomes and growth of her newborn. Investigators hypothesizes that alterations of the microbiota in the maternal gut (dysbiosis) is exacerbated by nutritional status or pathogen exposure during pregnancy. This impacts weight gain because of impaired nutrient absorption, and can lead to corresponding negative birth outcomes.
This cross-sectional observational study was conducted to compare breastfeeding success and breastfeeding self-efficacy levels of mothers who gave birth via vaginal delivery (spontaneous or via epidural analgesia) or cesarean section (under general or spinal anesthesia).
This study aimed to investigate the effect of oral stimulation and a supplemental nursing system on the time to full maternal breastfeeding and sucking success in preterm infants.
