The Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative is a global programme that is meant to support breastfeeding within organisations. Most of the current literature is focused on implementation and uptake of the programme; however, little is known about the patient experience of breastfeeding within these settings. By exploring this current gap in the literature, we may discover important contextual elements of the breastfeeding experience. The objective of this protocol is to provide a framework for a scoping review where we aim to understand the extent and type of evidence in relation to the patient experience of breastfeeding in Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI)-certified settings.
The proposed scoping review will be conducted in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews. The databases to be searched for relevant literature include MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Scopus in April 2023. A grey literature scan will include reviewing documents from professional organisations/associations. For all sources of evidence that meet the inclusion criteria, data will be extracted and presented in a table format. The results of the search and the study inclusion process will be reported in full in the final scoping review and presented in a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews. Participants in this review will include any individual who delivered their baby in a BFHI-certified setting. Exploring the patient experience will involve reviewing their subjective perceptions of events related to breastfeeding. These events must occur in a BFHI-certified hospital, and therefore, home births and other outpatient settings will be excluded.
Ethical approval is not required for this scoping review protocol or the final review. Knowledge gained from this research will be disseminated through the primary author's PhD dissertation work, as well as manuscript publications and conference presentations.
婴儿友好医院倡议是一项旨在支持组织内母乳喂养的全球计划。目前的大部分文献都集中在该计划的实施和采用上；然而，对于这些环境中患者母乳喂养的体验知之甚少。通过探索当前文献中的这一空白，我们可能会发现母乳喂养体验的重要背景因素。本研究方案的目的是为一项范围综述提供一个框架，我们旨在了解与婴儿友好医院倡议（BFHI）认证环境中患者母乳喂养体验相关的证据的范围和类型。
拟议的范围综述将按照乔安娜·布里格斯研究所（Joanna Briggs Institute）的范围综述方法进行。 2023 年 4 月，将在 MEDLINE、Embase、PsycINFO、CINAHL 和 Scopus 数据库中搜索相关文献。灰色文献扫描将包括审查专业组织/协会的文件。对于符合纳入标准的所有证据来源，将提取数据并以表格形式呈现。搜索结果和研究纳入过程将在最终范围综述中全面报告，并按照系统评价和荟萃分析扩展的首选报告项目呈现。本综述的参与者将包括在 BFHI 认证环境中分娩的任何个人。探索患者体验将涉及审查他们对与母乳喂养相关事件的主观感知。这些事件必须发生在 BFHI 认证的医院，因此，将排除家庭分娩和其他门诊环境。
本范围综述方案或最终综述不需要伦理批准。从这项研究中获得的知识将通过主要作者的博士论文工作、手稿出版物和会议演讲来传播。
