Despite increasing knowledge about factors affecting the initiation of breastfeeding, many mothers still encounter problems and discontinue breastfeeding earlier than desired. Many hospitals still have not implemented the practices that are known to be helpful in the establishment of breastfeeding. As a result, a study was conducted to examine the policies and practices affecting breastfeeding in hospitals in Alberta, Canada. A questionnaire-based survey of all Alberta hospitals (including directors of nursing and staff nurses) found that many practices were still relatively inflexible; did not always reflect accurate, research-based information; and were not geared to the needs of mothers and infants. The implications of these findings are discussed.
尽管对影响母乳喂养开始的因素的了解不断增加，但许多母亲仍然遇到问题，并且比预期更早地停止母乳喂养。许多医院仍未实施已知有助于建立母乳喂养的做法。因此，开展了一项研究，以调查加拿大艾伯塔省各医院中影响母乳喂养的政策和做法。一项对艾伯塔省所有医院（包括护理主任和护士）进行的问卷调查发现，许多做法仍然相对僵化；并不总是反映准确的、基于研究的信息；而且不符合母婴的需求。本文讨论了这些研究结果的意义。
