Abstract

Research aims/questions

The breastfeeding experience in the first days of life is very important for mother and baby. Although there are studies reporting family support that affects on mothers' breastfeeding success, the evidence is limited. To examine the effect of spousal and nurse support to early puerperal mothers on breastfeeding success.

Methods

The research had a descriptive and relation design type. It was conducted between September and December 2022 in a gynecology and pediatrics hospital. A sample of 323 mothers was calculated using a program. A sociodemographic data form, the Scale of Perceived Spousal Support among Women in the Early Postpartum Period, the Nurse Parent Support Tool, and the LATCH Breastfeeding Assessment Tool were used to collect the research data.

Results

A statistically positive and significant correlation was found between spousal support and nurse support and their sub-dimensions scale total scores. The mean score of the mothers from the LATCH tool was 7.09 ± 3.06. Perceived spousal support and nurse support total scale scores explained the variation in the LATCH tool score by 31 %.

Conclusion

Professional care, family support, especially spouse support, is needed to ensure and maintain successful breastfeeding of babies all over the world. In the early puerperium period, the support of spouses and nurses can help to solve the problems related to breastfeeding and increase the breastfeeding success of babies. Co-presentation of observational and experimental studies can contribute to family health.

Trial registration

There is no trial registration number, because this manuscript is not randomized control study.

配偶和护士支持对产后早期母乳喂养成功的影响

研究目的/问题生命最初几天的母乳喂养经历对母亲和婴儿都非常重要。虽然有研究报告家庭支持对母亲母乳喂养的成功有影响，但证据有限。探讨配偶和护士对早期产褥期母亲母乳喂养成功率的影响。方法采用描述性和关系型设计。该研究于2022年9月至12月在一家妇科和儿科医院进行。使用一个程序计算了323名母亲的样本。使用社会人口学数据表、产后早期妇女感知配偶支持量表、护士父母支持工具和LATCH母乳喂养评估工具收集研究数据。结果配偶支持、护士支持与其子维度量表总分呈显著正相关。LATCH工具对产妇的平均评分为7.09±3.06。感知配偶支持和护士支持总量表得分解释了LATCH工具得分的31%的变化。结论专业护理、家庭支持，特别是配偶支持，是保证和维持婴儿母乳喂养成功的必要条件。在产褥期早期，配偶和护士的支持可以帮助解决与母乳喂养有关的问题，提高婴儿的母乳喂养成功率。观察性和实验性研究的联合报告有助于家庭健康。由于本文不是随机对照研究，因此没有试验注册号。
