Supportive Breastfeeding Research Papers

Analyzation regarding breastfeeding has demonstrated that breastfeeding initiation rates in the United States have increased to 79.2%, although the persistence of breastfeeding has continually lowered posing a risk to both the mother and the child. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2014). This decrease in continuation of breastfeeding may be primarily due to ineffective communication, poor education, and inadequate support. According to Williams, Young, Kearney, and Keogh (2013)

Breastfeeding and Childhood Asthma: Qualitative Article Paper Breastfeeding has been shown to have a series of protective benefits against an extensive assortment of health problems that may occur in infancy and throughout childhood. Human milk contains assorted anti-infective proteins. IgA, cytokines, lactoferrin, lysozomes, and fatty acids are among a few of the protective components of breast milk. These anti-infective proteins, along with other substances present in human milk stimulates the

Breastfeeding rates are continually increasing. The nutritional benefit of breast over formula is a long established fact. “According to the latest numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, breastfeeding rates improved nationwide in 2000-2008, and some of the greatest improvement was among black women. However, only about 59 percent of black mothers breastfed in 2008, compared to 80 percent of Hispanic mothers and about 75 percent of white mothers. For 2008 rates of breastfeeding

is a method of holding an infant in a certain position to help improve health. Although there are many articles supporting this statement, a literature review is still necessary to show credibility. This paper will provide an overview on the various research articles by explaining the supportive measures for the PICOT, comparing and contrasting the articles, and analyzing the evidence found regarding the study. PICOT Support There are eight articles chosen to support the PICOT statement: In premature

Introduction Empirical evidence from research validates the effectiveness of an intervention in specific patient populations and settings. For this reason, evidence-based practice promotes stewardship of resources and the best outcomes for patients. In maternity care, a common intervention following birth is skin-to-skin contact (SSC) between mother and newborn. It is also called kangaroo care. The practice has been in place for many years. However, its effectiveness must be established to determine

Despite overwhelming supportive evidence for initiating early skin-to-skin contact (sometimes referred to as kangaroo care), and couplet care, in which mothers and infants room together for their entire hospital stay, many hospitals have continued the long-standing tradition of separating the mothers from their infants after cesarean delivery. For this paper I examined four recent article to compare to the conclusion drawn by McClellan and Ciabanca’s research. All of the articles I reviewed

She is a twenty nine year old African American female, primigravida at 39 weeks and 3 days. In order to paint a complete picture of the scenario, information provided during my shift report from the patient’s primary nurse is incorporated into this paper. Ms. L.S. was admitted to the Labor and Delivery unit while experiencing active labor with uterine contraction every 5 minutes apart. During the obstetrician’s assessment her cervix was dilated to 4 cm. The patient had attended childbirth classes and

the well-baby nursery. How they helped them with all their breastfeeding struggles, how they taught them to change their first diaper, swaddle, calm a screaming baby and believe it or not it’s all part of the states that a parent must get through in order to transition to their new role successfully. Nurses must help mothers adapt to their new role as a parent.  "Nursing knowledge is the inclusive total of the philosophies, theories, research, and practice wisdom of the discipline. As a professional

I wanted to find an article that specifically mentioned the components of attachment parenting that Sears endorses─ extended breastfeeding whenever the baby wants it, co-sleeping, carrying child at all times or having them close to you, and avoidance of a strict schedule for the child to follow. I had a difficult time finding a scientific research article that mentioned the components of attachment parenting, while still remaining in my realm of understanding. Eventually I was successful and found

9% for research and 22% for global assistance to address the epidemic (The Henry J. Kaiser Foundation, 2016). According to Small & Kerr, (2011), HIV/AIDS research has had a long and peculiar history in evidence-based advances related to disease management, education, and antiretroviral medication. With all the advances to increase HIV/AIDS awareness, access to care, fear of stigma and lack of confidentiality act as reasoning for treatment and testing refusal. The purpose of this paper is to discuss
