Filter by:The establishment of the Enhanced Recovery After Cesarean protocols resulted in to the production of specific care pathways with the aim of optimizing recovery after cesarean delivery (CD) and to reduce the costs to the health care system. Carbohydrate rich fluids are offered in this aspect to enhance postoperative quality of recovery. The primary aim of this randomised control trial is to assess the impact of pre-operative carbohydrate loading on obstetric quality of recovery after elective cesarean section.
Pregnant or lactating women requiring treatment for drug sensitive-TB will be identified and invited for sampling. If they are pregnant when identified, they will be invited for sampling after delivery. Plasma and breastmilk samples will be obtained pre-dose and at 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours post-dose. If logistics permit (for example living close to the research unit), the participant will be invited for a further sample at 24 hours post-dose. A heelprick sample will also be obtained from their breastfed infants at maternal trough (prior to maternal dose) and at a random timepoint (once per infant) over the 8-hour pharmacokinetic sampling visit in order to characterize concentrations of these drugs over an 8-hour dosing interval. Total concentrations of plasma and breastmilk Isoniazid, Rifampicin, Pyrazinamide and Ethambutol will be determined. If a participant has her first pharmacokinetic profile in the intensive phase of TB treatment (whilst on all four of isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol), she will be invited for a subsequent sampling day with the same time points when she is on the continuation phase of therapy (rifampicin and isoniazid).
This study investigated the effect of the Supplemental Nursing System (SNS)-based feeding on the time to transition to exclusive breastfeeding, sucking success, and the time to discharge in preterm infants
Breastfeeding is one of the most effective ways to ensure a baby's health and survival, and breast milk is the ideal food for babies. It is recommended to start breastfeeding within the first hour of life, following skin-to-skin contact between the mother and the newborn immediately after birth. Newborns transition from the dark, narrow and fluid-filled intrauterine environment to the wide, bright, cold and dry extrauterine life during the birth process. Thus, in addition to invasive procedures such as heel lance, vascular access, etc., including the birth process, simple and routine procedures such as separation from its mother in a short time to measure body weight cause stress for the newborn. For this reason, it is recommended that newborns should not be separated from their mothers except for important medical reasons, and that skin-to-skin contact should be initiated as soon as possible after birth so that the newborn can cope with the "birth stress". Hyperbilirubinemia, as physiological jaundice, usually begins in the first 24-72 hours of life in term newborns. It peaks in the following days and starts to decrease in the following days. Colostrum, which is a natural laxative found in breast milk, facilitates the removal of meconium in the newborn and provides bilirubin excretion with stool. With early skin-to-skin contact between mother and newborn in the first minutes of life after birth; Nurses have a key role in reducing the level of "birth stress" experienced by the newborn and in reducing the severity of hyperbilirubinemia by starting breastfeeding early.
The research will be carried out as a randomized controlled experimental design to evaluate the effectiveness of the breastfeeding support system to increase sucking success in premature infants receiving care in the NICU and breastfeeding self-efficacy in mothers. In the study, the experimental and control groups will be determined by randomization of premature babies hospitalized in the NICU. While the babies in the control group will be fed with the routine feeding method (bottle) of the NICU, the babies in the experimental group will be fed with the breastfeeding support system by their mother. Research data will be collected using the Premature Baby and Its Mother Information Form, Premature Baby Follow-up Form, LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnostic Scale and Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form.
The study purpose is to examine the effects of breast tenderness relief intervention during the late pregnancy on the parturients' breast engorgement, lactation, breastfeeding, maternal competence, and stress.
The goal of the study was to investigate effect of breastfeeding training program and nurse-led breastfeeding online counselling system (BMUM) on mothers' breastfeeding self-efficacy, breastfeeding attitudes, breastfeeding problems and postpartum depression we hypothesized that there would be differences between BG and CG groups in terms of breastfeeding self-efficacy, breastfeeding problems, postpartum depression and breastfeeding frequency. This was a randomized controlled trial. Participants were randomly assigned to the breastfeeding group (BG; n = 36), or control group (CG; n = 36). Control group will receive only standart care breastfeeding group will receive standart care and web based breastfeeding support. Breastfeeding attitudes, infant feeding attitude breastfeeding problems and postpartum depression will assessment. The assesment point will be 32-37 gestational week, postpartum 1st day, 1st week, 3 months, and 6 months.
Current infant feeding recommendations focus on promoting responsive feeding, which is widely recognized as the ideal way to feed infants because it is associated with healthier eating behaviors and growth outcomes for infants. Unfortunately, many bottle-feeding families receive inadequate support for learning responsive bottle-feeding practices because breastfeeding support is prioritized in healthcare settings. Promotion of breastfeeding is an important focus for public health efforts, but a significant proportion of families bottle-feed their infants, either exclusively or in combination with breastfeeding. Thus, bottle-feeding remains a ubiquitous part of infant feeding and evidence-based strategies are needed to support bottle-feeding families. One promising strategy is the Paced Bottle-Feeding (PBF) method, which incorporates many ideas and feeding practices consistent with the concept of responsive feeding. This approach to bottle-feeding aims to mimic the aspects of breastfeeding that promote balanced control between caregiver and infant and allow the infant to set the pace of the feeding in response to feelings of hunger and fullness. Although PBF is sometimes taught in perinatal education settings, teaching new parents about PBF is not an evidence-based practice because there have been no empirical studies evaluating the effectiveness of PBF for promoting responsive feeding for parents and healthy intake and weight outcomes for infants. Thus, despite the conceptual promise of PBF for promoting responsive bottle-feeding interactions, research is needed to determine whether PBF is effective and identify whether any limitations of this method exist. This study is a within-subject, experimental study wherein mother-infant dyads will be observed during breastfeeding and typical bottle-feeding interactions. Mothers will then be taught the PBF method and observed during a PBF interaction. This design will allow for direct testing of the purported benefits of PBF over typical bottle-feeding and whether PBF makes the experience of bottle-feeding more equivalent to the experience of breastfeeding. The overarching aims of this study are to explore the ways in which bottle-feeding can go well and identify mechanisms through which bottle-feeding families can be supported to promote healthy intake and weight gain trajectories for their infants.
This study aims to improve adherence to American Academy of Pediatrics safe sleep (SS) recommendations and improve rates of initiation and duration of partial and exclusive breastfeeding (BF); and reduce Black/White disparities in these practices through the use of private Facebook groups providing a) evidence-based education through videos and other multi-media supporting best practices and b) an online community and social network of other pregnant WIC clients and new parents.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about how long-acting injectable antipsychotic (LAIA) medications are affected by the changes that take place in the body during pregnancy, and how much an unborn baby is exposed to. The investigators are also interested in the amount of these drugs that enters into breastmilk and taken by babies during breastfeeding. In addition to their regular clinic visits to receive long-acting mental health medicine injection, participants will be invited for up to four study visits between day 2 and 14 after the injection. This will happen only once during pregnancy, and once during the breastfeeding period to collect a few drops of blood on special filter paper card from the finger using safety lancet. A few drops of breastmilk will also be collected. Immediately after delivery, a few drops of blood will be collected from the mother, umbilical cord and the baby heel. The investigators will use these samples to determine the amount of the drug in the body during pregnancy and compare this to the amount during the breastfeeding period. Additionally, every month during the third trimester, and during the first 3 months postpartum, participants will complete a questionnaire (using the Liverpool University Neuroleptic Side Effect Scale) to document how they are feeling. Clinical improvement will be documented by the primary care provider using the Clinical Global Impressions Scale. Findings from this study are expected to help healthcare providers to understand these drugs better so that they can make informed decisions about if and how to use these drugs in women who become pregnant or are breastfeeding.
