Duration Of Breastfeeding

Support is identified as a key factor in the promotion and duration of breastfeeding. This descriptive qualitative study sought to explore public health nurses' experiences of supporting women to breastfeed in Irish community settings. Semi-structured interviews were conducted using a qualitative descriptive methodology. Braun and Clarke's six-phase thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Following data analysis, three major themes emerged, which included: ‘To give them the best support’; ‘We need the help and support as well’; and ‘We've only a certain amount of time’. The findings reveal that public health nurses seek to provide the best support to breastfeeding women within the constraints of clinical practice. Although public health nurses perceive that they have internal and external sources of support, more is needed to enable them provide the best care for breastfeeding women in Ireland.

This study explores older people’s long-term care experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ghana. A qualitative descriptive approach employing semi-structured interviews was used to collect data from 15 older people from Southern Ghana. Analysis of interview data resulted in five interrelated themes: (1) sources and type of long-term care; (2) older people’s satisfaction with the long-term care received; (3) changes in their long-term care; (4) feelings of neglect regarding long-term care; and (5) older people’s resilience in long-term care. The sustainability of long-term care depends on the state’s ability to devise innovative long-term care policies and programmes to promote older people’s and their carers’ well-being.

Even though easily accessible and cost-effective healthcare is a fundamental human right, many persons with disabilities experience healthcare barriers and poor health outcomes. We explore the healthcare barriers among working-age persons with disabilities in Trinidad using a qualitative descriptive approach. Semi-structured interviews with 26 participants reveal barriers at the personal, healthcare facility, and societal levels. The findings indicate the need for a nation-wide integrated digitalized system and increased intersectoral collaborations to support adequate healthcare among persons with disabilities in Trinidad. Increased consultation with persons with disabilities and transformation of the disability discourses within the healthcare system and at the national level are also recommended as part of the humanisation of their care.

Abstract Background: Miscarriage or stillbirth is an experience of losing a child. However, in a clinical setting, men are positioned to support women. Therefore, mental support for men is insufficient. It is predicted that marital mourning in men will affect marital relations if it does not go smoothly. This study aimed to clarify the experiences of husbands in couples suffering from recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) in Japan and clarify the support based on the husband’s needs.Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 husbands attending the outpatient treatment for RPL at visiting clinic of a University Hospital A in City A. The interview data were analyzed using a qualitative descriptive approach.Results: The husbands’ experiences were classified into 13 categories. Based on the interview data, the husbands felt shock of first pregnancy loss, and then while experiencing lingering anxiety regarding pregnancy loss and feeling less grief over subsequent pregnancy losses, they made an effort to accept recurrent loss. Husbands were feeling apologetic to one’s wife, resulting in prioritizing one’s wife and performing actions toward wife with good intentions. Moreover, after experiencing repeated pregnancy losses, husbands felt feelings of hopelessness caused by RPL, while craving for a child and giving up on having a child, and experiencing difficulty faced in sexual relations while maintaining a distant but steady marital relationship. Husbands were hoping that family members would quietly offer support and engaged in stance at work of not wanting people to mention RPL.Conclusions: The husband with RPL supported his wife while suffering from the mental burden of a miscarriage or stillbirth and was isolated in a relationship. Medical professionals should be able to advocate for husbands in couples suffering from RPL to help them voice their feelings to their wives; moreover, frameworks need to be established to support good marital relationships and psychologically support the husbands of such couples.

Introduction: Pregnancy, infancy, and early childhood are periods of rapid growth and development. The role of nutrition is very important during these critical growth and development periods. The aim of the study was to investigate infant feeding practices through the first year of life in Latvia, and to compare feeding practices with nutritional guidelines in Latvia and other European countries. Methods: We analysed cross-sectional study data from food frequency questionnaires with additional questions on breastfeeding and complementary feeding introduction. A total of 266 infants from all Latvian regions from birth to 1-year-old were included in the study. Breastfeeding rates were assessed by month of age. Complementary feeding was assessed using three age groups (0–3.9 months, 4–6.9 months, and 7–12.9 months), whereas two groups were used to assess food frequency and portion sizes (0–5.9 months and 6–12.9 months). Results: The breastfeeding rate during the first month of life was 89%. At 6 months, 68% of infants received breast milk, but by 12 months, only 45% still received breast milk. Complementary foods were introduced at a mean age of 5 months (standard deviation = 1). Before 4 months of age, 9% of infants were receiving complementary food, the majority (85%) between 4 and 6 months of age. There were 6% of infants who were introduced to complementary foods after 7 months of age. First complementary food choices were mainly porridge (64%), vegetables (21%), and fruits (10%). After 6 months of age, foods from almost all food groups were present in each infant diet at least once per day, such as vegetables (85%), potatoes (85%), fruits (81%), dairy (78%), and meat (73%), less than once per day—grains (88%), fats (73%), cow’s milk (66%), eggs (45%), fish (36%), and legumes (28%). Conclusion: Breastfeeding rate during first months of life is high in Latvia. Breastfeeding was sustained at the age of 6 months, in the highest rate among Baltic countries. However, only 45% continued breastfeeding at the age of 12 months, in accordance with WHO recommendations. A guideline on complementary feeding is followed by the majority of parents. There are deviations from guidelines in inclusion of some foods in the diet and frequency of consumption.

Abstract Introduction Napping and other daytime sleep is often overlooked in insomnia research and poorly defined in many studies. Research has shown some correlations between older adults’ napping habits and increased medical co-morbidities and risks of dementia, but it has also shown that napping enhances memory consolidation and broader aspects of cognition in younger adults. Where along the aging spectrum this line between beneficial napping and potentially risky napping falls is not clear. Methods This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach in which semi-structured interviews (N=18) were supplemented by the widely used self-report instruments and anxiety scales. Results Insomnia in these older adults directly resulted in reduced energy and stamina, poor mood, and reduced functional capacity. Indirect effects included reduced social interaction and increased isolation. Several participants reported napping in qualitative interviews but denied daytime sleep on standard sleep assessments, and associated napping with anxiety and dread of functional and cognitive decline. Planned or intentional napping was viewed with guilt and denial, while dozing off accidentally was considered an acceptable coping strategy. Conclusion While research about the relationships between disordered sleep and cognitive impairment is still at an early stage, it seems ironic that the participants in this study stigmatized planned napping, which could potentially benefit their cognitive functioning, but seemed accepting of accidental napping, which may well indicate some more serious cognitive issues. More education about sleep needs for older adults is needed. Support I am grateful to the Longhorn Village chapter of Texas Exes for their Gerontology Nursing Scholarship, which helped to fund this project.
