Breast milk is the optimal food for infants and hence early initiation of breastfeeding is crucial for successful breastfeeding. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the maternal satisfaction on breastfeeding among 150 mothers at Sri Ramachandra Hospital, Chennai, using a descriptive research design and convenience sampling. Participants included mothers who exclusively breastfed their infants and were willing to participate and assessed using the Maternal Breastfeeding Evaluation Scale. The majority of mothers were aged 26-30 years (56%), housewives (70%) and from nuclear families (50.7%); 66.5% showed a high level of satisfaction with breastfeeding. It should be noted that nurse educators play a vital role in promoting breastfeeding by educating mothers on its benefits for both the infant's development and the mother's well-being.
母乳是婴儿的最佳食物,因此尽早开始母乳喂养对于成功进行母乳喂养至关重要。因此,采用描述性研究设计和便利抽样方法,评估金奈市斯里·拉马钱德拉医院150名母亲对母乳喂养的满意度,这一点很有意义。参与者包括纯母乳喂养婴儿且愿意参与的母亲,并使用母亲母乳喂养评估量表进行评估。大多数母亲年龄在26 - 30岁之间(56%),是家庭主妇(70%),来自核心家庭(50.7%);66.5%的母亲对母乳喂养表示高度满意。应当指出的是,护士教育工作者通过向母亲传授母乳喂养对婴儿发育和母亲健康的益处,在促进母乳喂养方面发挥着至关重要的作用。
