To identify knowledge and practices of breastfeeding mothers towards prevention of the emerging corona virus (COVID- 19).
Cross-sectional design was used in this study. Data was collected via social media applications. Three hundred and seventy breastfeeding mothers completed the on-line survey. Questionnaire was assessing knowledge and practices of COVID- 19 related to breastfeeding.
The participating mothers have basic knowledge about COVID-19. Correct "Preventive measures" ranged from 84% to 99.7% but mothers have misconceptions regarding some modes of transmission, especially through blood & breast milk. In addition, they have a lack of understanding of how to deal with newborns of mothers infected or suspected to be infected with COVID-19 disease.
Participants have basic knowledge about COVID-19 in general but they have improper preventive breastfeeding practices against the disease in particular. Nurses and midwives have the main role to increase awareness of breastfeeding mothers regarding preventive measures of COVID-19.
确定母乳喂养母亲对预防新型冠状病毒(COVID-19)的知识和做法。
本研究采用横断面设计。数据通过社交媒体应用程序收集。370名母乳喂养母亲完成了在线调查。问卷评估了与母乳喂养相关的COVID-19的知识和做法。
参与调查的母亲对COVID-19有基本的了解。正确的“预防措施”知晓率在84%至99.7%之间,但母亲们对一些传播方式存在误解,尤其是通过血液和母乳传播。此外,她们对如何处理感染或疑似感染COVID-19疾病的母亲所生的新生儿缺乏了解。
参与者总体上对COVID-19有基本的了解,但在针对该疾病的预防性母乳喂养做法上存在不当之处。护士和助产士在提高母乳喂养母亲对COVID-19预防措施的认识方面起着主要作用。
