This study examined the effectiveness of a hospital program to promote exclusive breast-feeding in Santos, Brazil.
In a prospective design, women who delivered at a hospital with an active breast-feeding promotion program (n = 236) were compared with women who delivered at a nearby control hospital (n = 206).
The two groups had similar demographic characteristics and previous breast-feeding histories. Exposure to breast-feeding activities, assessed by maternal recall prior to discharge, was universally high at the program hospital and universally low at the control hospital. Multivariate survival analysis showed that exclusive breast-feeding lasted 53 days longer among women who delivered at the program hospital.
Hospital-based breast-feeding promotion programs may be effective in extending the duration of exclusive breast-feeding.
本研究考察了巴西桑托斯一项促进纯母乳喂养的医院项目的效果。
采用前瞻性设计,将在设有积极促进母乳喂养项目的医院分娩的女性(n = 236)与在附近对照医院分娩的女性(n = 206)进行比较。
两组具有相似的人口统计学特征和既往母乳喂养史。通过产妇出院前回忆评估的接触母乳喂养活动情况,在项目医院普遍较高,在对照医院普遍较低。多变量生存分析表明,在项目医院分娩的女性纯母乳喂养持续时间长53天。
基于医院的母乳喂养促进项目可能在延长纯母乳喂养持续时间方面有效。
