Breast feeding is recommended for the first year of a baby's life due to numerous benefits for both the child and mother. After returning from maternity leave, surgical trainees face extensive barriers to breast feeding and tend to terminate breast feeding earlier than guideline recommendations. The aim of this scoping review is to assess existing breastfeeding policies for surgical trainees at the national level including postgraduate medical education offices, provincial resident unions and individual surgical programmes.
A modified Arksey and O'Malley (2005) framework will be used. Specifically, (1) identifying the research question/s and (2) relevant studies from electronic databases and grey literature, (3) identifying and (4) selecting studies with independent verification, and (5) collating, summarising, and reporting data while having ongoing consultation between experts throughout the process. Experts will include a lactation consultant (AGB), a human resource leader (JI), a health information specialist (ES), two independent coders (NZ, LR) and a board-certified surgeon (JD). This work will take place as of December 2020 and be carried out to completion in 2021.
Ethics approval will not be sought for this scoping review. Research findings will be disseminated through publications, presentations and meetings with relevant stakeholders.
由于母乳喂养对婴儿和母亲都有许多益处，因此建议在婴儿生命的第一年进行母乳喂养。返回产假后，外科受训者在母乳喂养方面面临广泛的障碍，并且往往比指南建议更早地终止母乳喂养。本范围综述的目的是评估全国范围内针对外科受训者的母乳喂养政策，包括研究生医学教育办公室、省级住院医师联合会和个别外科计划。
将使用经过修改的 Arksey 和 O'Malley（2005 年）框架。具体来说，（1）确定研究问题/和（2）从电子数据库和灰色文献中检索相关研究，（3）通过独立验证识别和（4）选择研究，以及（5）整理、总结和报告数据，同时在整个过程中与专家进行持续协商。专家将包括一名哺乳顾问（AGB）、一名人力资源主管（JI）、一名健康信息专家（ES）、两名独立编码员（NZ、LR）和一名董事会认证的外科医生（JD）。这项工作将于 2020 年 12 月开始，并于 2021 年完成。
本范围综述不需要伦理批准。研究结果将通过出版物、演讲和与相关利益相关者的会议进行传播。
