This knowledge mobilization project was conceptualized to increase awareness among breastfeeding mothers and the general public on safe infant feeding practices during the COVID-19 pandemic by addressing myths and misconceptions associated with breastfeeding practices, guiding breastfeeding mothers to make informed decisions around child feeding practices, and offering meaningful guidance in simple language through a short online animated video.
This project was undertaken in four phases. During phase 1, an informal discussion was held with the breastfeeding mothers, service providers, and community partner in identifying issues surrounding lactation counselling facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. During phase 2, recommendations from 23 organizations with regard to breastfeeding during COVID-19 were reviewed and analyzed. During phase 3, using evidence from reliable sources, a 5-minute animated e-resource on breastfeeding during COVID-19 was conceptualized and developed. During phase 4, the e-resource was disseminated to the breastfeeding mothers, general public, post-secondary institutions, and organizations providing services to breastfeeding mothers in Canada.
This evidence-based e-resource facilitated addressing misconceptions around breastfeeding during COVID-19 and raising public awareness on safe infant feeding practices during this pandemic. Overall, the video was described as an informative, user-friendly, useful, and easily accessible resource by breastfeeding mothers who were in self-isolation with little access to healthcare services during the pandemic.
This project highlighted the importance of patient engagement and collaboration with the community partner in protecting breastfeeding during the COVID-19 pandemic. It further illustrated how informational e-resources can protect breastfeeding in situations where breastfeeding mothers' access to healthcare services is compromised.
本知识转化项目旨在通过解决与母乳喂养实践相关的误解和误区，指导母乳喂养母亲围绕儿童喂养实践做出明智决策，并通过简短的在线动画视频以通俗易懂的语言提供有意义的指导，从而提高母乳喂养母亲和公众对 COVID-19 大流行期间安全婴儿喂养实践的认识。
该项目分四个阶段进行。在第一阶段，与母乳喂养母亲、服务提供者和社区合作伙伴进行了非正式讨论，以确定在 COVID-19 大流行期间围绕哺乳咨询设施的问题。在第二阶段，审查和分析了 23 个组织就 COVID-19 期间母乳喂养提出的建议。在第三阶段，利用可靠来源的证据，构思和开发了一个关于 COVID-19 期间母乳喂养的 5 分钟动画电子资源。在第四阶段，将电子资源分发给加拿大的母乳喂养母亲、公众、大专院校和为母乳喂养母亲提供服务的组织。
这个基于证据的电子资源有助于解决 COVID-19 期间母乳喂养的误解，提高公众对大流行期间安全婴儿喂养实践的认识。总体而言，该视频被描述为一个信息丰富、用户友好、有用且易于获取的资源，深受在大流行期间自我隔离且很少获得医疗服务的母乳喂养母亲的欢迎。
该项目强调了在 COVID-19 大流行期间保护母乳喂养需要患者参与和与社区合作伙伴合作的重要性。它进一步说明了在母乳喂养母亲获得医疗服务受到影响的情况下，信息电子资源如何保护母乳喂养。
