RESUMEN

The care of breastfeeding patients who require anesthesia presents unique challenges; therefore, caregivers must be knowledgeable regarding drugs' pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profiles to ensure the safety of the breastfed infant. Although most anesthetic drugs are compatible with breastfeeding, health care providers continue to advise patients to "pump and dump." This advice can lead to undesirable outcomes, including interruption or cessation of breastfeeding, creating possible physical and psychological challenges for parents and their neonates. This article outlines best practices for the care of breastfeeding patients receiving anesthesia.

RESUMEN

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to investigate interruptions in breastfeeding, relactation, and relactation awareness-related factors. Methods and Study Design: This cross-sectional online survey was conducted in 2020 with women who had children between 6 and 36 months of age. Women >18 years of age and willing to consent to study participation (n = 392) were recruited throughout Turkey. Data were collected online through Google forms using the Personal Information Form, and Relactation Awareness Index (RAI). The dependent variables of the study were continuing breastfeeding, relactation, and breastfeeding awareness. Logistic and linear regression analyses were performed. Results: Of the participants, 53.1% exclusively breastfed their infants in the first 6 months of life, and 34.9% interrupted breastfeeding. Of those who interrupted breastfeeding, 39.4% achieved success in relactation. The rate of failed relactation was 9.16 times higher in primary school graduates and 2.37 times higher in those who perceived their milk supply as insufficient. The rate was also high in those whose RAI score was low (p < 0.05). Factors such as perception that milk supply is inadequate, lack of education and interruption of breastfeeding are associated with awareness of relactation. According to the linear regression analysis, breastfeeding within the first hour of delivery, length of time planned for breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life affected relactation awareness positively, whereas the perceived milk supply affected it negatively (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Awareness of relactation should be raised and trainings should be organized to increase the success of relactation. Especially mothers who have interrupted breastfeeding need supportive and professional interventions to continue breastfeeding.

RESUMEN

La lactancia materna exclusiva (LME) ha sido considerada una práctica saludable, ya que contribuye con nutrientes esenciales para la salud y crecimiento del niño. Desde esta perspectiva se considera necesario disponer de instrumentos de medición como herramientas para el levantamiento de información sobre problemáticas de salud. Por consiguiente, para garantizar la calidad del instrumento, es indispensable que éste sea sometido a un proceso de validación por juicio de expertos. Objetivo: Validar los instrumentos cuantitativo y cualitativo 0-6 LME para establecer los factores de riesgo que determinan la interrupción de la lactancia materna exclusiva. Método: La metodología empleada tuvo un enfoque mixto (cuantitativo.- cualitativo) de corte transversal, exploratorio, descriptivo y de campo. El enfoque cualitativo es fenomenológico e interpretativo. El instrumento cuantitativo se diseñó con respuestas dicotómicas y polinómicas y el instrumento cualitativo fue diseñado con preguntas abiertas para realizar la entrevista a profundidad o saturación. Como responsables de la validación de los instrumentos estuvieron 2 PhD, 1 especialista y 2 investigadores. Resultados: La validación por parte de los expertos determinó para el criterio de pertinencia 93,18 puntos, para el criterio validez 93,07 puntos y para el criterio coherencia 92,67. Del mismo modo fueron obtenidos los resultados para el instrumento cualitativo, el criterio validez 95,73 puntos, para el criterio pertinencia 95,73 y para coherencia 95,73 puntos. Conclusión: se establece que los instrumentos son considerados confiables de acuerdo al juicio de los expertos, por lo tanto, fueron validados y servirán como aporte para obtener los datos requeridos en la investigación científica(AU)

Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) has been considered a healthy practice, since it contributes essential nutrients for the health and growth of the child. From this perspective, it considered necessary to have measurement instruments as tools for gathering information on health problems. Therefore, to guarantee the quality of the instrument, it is essential to submit these instruments to an expert validation process based on expert judgment. Objective: To validate the quantitative and qualitative instruments 0-6 LME to establish the risk factors that determine the interruption of exclusive breastfeeding. Method: The methodology used had a mixed approach (quantitative-qualitative) of cross-sectional, exploratory, descriptive and field sections. The qualitative approach is phenomenological and interpretive. The quantitative instrument was designed with dichotomous and polynomial responses and the qualitative instrument was designed with open questions to carry out the interview in depth or saturation. Responsible for the validation of the instruments were 2 PhD, 1 specialist and 2 researchers. Results: The validation by the experts determined for the relevance criterion 93.18 points, for the validity criterion 93.07 points and for the coherence criterion 92.67. In the same way, the results obtained for the qualitative instrument, the validity criterion 95.73 points, for the relevance criterion 95.73 and for coherence 95.73 points. Conclusion: it established that the instruments are considered reliable according to the judgment of the experts; therefore, they were validated and will serve as a contribution to obtain the data required in scientific research(AU)
