Abstract

Use of cannabidiol (CBD), the non-psychoactive component, and delta-9-tetrahydrocannibinol (THC), the active psychogenic component in marijuana, is increasing in the United States as more states continue to legalize sales and consumption. As the public is becoming informed on the broad spectrum of therapeutic properties of these substances, including easing nausea and vomiting an increasing number of pregnant women are using marijuana to help with these issues. There is very little research on how people feel about cannabidiol product use during breastfeeding. The objective of this study was to assess college students’ perceptions of marijuana product use during breastfeeding. A convenience sample of 675 college students completed a web-based survey that contained a valid general breastfeeding knowledge scale and questions to measure perceived level of agreement with the safety of marijuana products while breastfeeding. The mean breastfeeding knowledge score among this sample was low (179.84 ± 24.47; range 96 - 246), with those scoring highest having the lowest perceived safety of marijuana use while breastfeeding. Significant differences in perceived safety were found based on gender (p=0.036), race (p=0.007), and personal breastfeeding experience (p= .020). As new marijuana and breastfeeding research emerges, college health professionals should ensure that evidence-based information is used in family planning and infant feeding programs to educate college-age adults, who may become parents in the future. Future studies should include measures for personal cannabidiol product use and understanding and assess exposure to peers or mothers using marijuana products.
大学生对母乳喂养期间使用大麻和大麻二酚安全性的认知
随着越来越多的州继续将大麻的销售和消费合法化,大麻二酚(CBD)(非精神活性成分)和德尔塔-9-四氢大麻酚(THC)(大麻中有效的精神活性成分)在美国的使用量正在增加。随着公众对这些物质广泛的治疗特性的了解,包括缓解恶心和呕吐,越来越多的孕妇正在使用大麻来帮助解决这些问题。关于母乳喂养期间人们对大麻二酚产品的感受的研究很少。本研究的目的是评估大学生对母乳喂养期间大麻产品使用的看法。为了方便起见,675名大学生完成了一项基于网络的调查,该调查包含有效的一般母乳喂养知识量表和测量母乳喂养期间大麻产品安全性的感知同意程度的问题。该样本的母乳喂养知识平均得分较低(179.84±24.47;范围96 - 246),得分最高者对母乳喂养期间使用大麻的安全性认知最低。性别(p=0.036)、种族(p=0.007)和个人母乳喂养经历(p= 0.020)在感知安全性方面存在显著差异。随着新的大麻和母乳喂养研究的出现,大学卫生专业人员应该确保在计划生育和婴儿喂养计划中使用基于证据的信息,以教育未来可能成为父母的大学适龄成年人。未来的研究应该包括个人使用大麻二酚产品的措施,以及了解和评估使用大麻产品的同龄人或母亲的暴露情况。
