In this qualitative descriptive study we examined the perceptions of 17 neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) healthcare providers (nurses, neonatologists, lactation consultants, and dietitians) about the role of breastfeeding peer counselors who were mothers of former NICU infants and who provided primary lactation care in the NICU. Findings revealed that the healthcare providers respected the peer counselors' lactation expertise and identified three critical elements that contributed to the effectiveness of the peer counseling program: having a champion for the program, counselors being mothers of former NICU infants, and a NICU culture supportive of using human milk. Healthcare providers thought the peer counselors enhanced care of the infant by empowering mothers to provide milk and by facilitating and modeling positive patterns of maternal-infant interactions.
在这项定性描述性研究中,我们调查了 17 名新生儿重症监护病房 (NICU) 医护人员(护士、新生儿科医生、哺乳顾问和营养师)对母乳喂养同伴顾问的看法,这些同伴顾问是前 NICU 婴儿的母亲,她们在 NICU 提供主要的哺乳护理。研究结果表明,医护人员尊重同伴顾问的哺乳专业知识,并确定了促进同伴咨询计划有效性的三个关键因素:有一个该计划的拥护者、顾问是前 NICU 婴儿的母亲、以及支持使用人乳的 NICU 文化。医护人员认为同伴顾问通过增强母亲提供母乳的能力,并促进和树立积极的母婴互动模式,从而增强了对婴儿的护理。
