ABSTRACT

Background: The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) is a World Health Organization and United Nations Children's Fund joint global programme to protect, promote and support breastfeeding. Sustainability of the BFHI standards is important for health facilities and country-level implementation. Aims: To analyse the 2018-2019 external reassessment results of baby-friendly hospitals (BFHs) in Turkey. Methods: We included 414 BFHs. The Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding were divided into 2 groups: critical management procedures (Steps 1 and 2) and key clinical practices (Steps 3-10). Results: All 10 steps were fulfilled by 60.1% of the hospitals. Steps 3 and 2 had the lowest compliance rates (81.6% and 85.7%), and Steps 7 and 8 had the highest rates (97.1% and 98.1%). Caesarean section rates in the fourth quartile were associated with significantly lower adherence to Steps 3 and 10. The presence of another external reassessment within 5 years was associated with a significantly higher adherence rate to Step 3, and a significantly higher full implementation rate for the clinical practices. Hospitals that fully implemented management procedures had a significantly higher fulfilment percentage for all clinical practices. The western region had higher adherence rates for all the clinical practices than other regions. Conclusion: Reassessments seem useful for sustainability. Full compliance with Steps 1 and 2 is important for higher adherence to the clinical steps. Regional variations should be taken into account in the implementation of the programme.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. El consenso mundial acerca de la lactancia materna es que el bebé debe ser exclusivamente amamantado hasta los seis meses de vida. A pesar de ello, la tasa de lactancia materna exclusiva es baja durante los primeros seis meses de vida en muchos países, incluida Turquía. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el conocimiento, las actitudes y las experiencias de los profesionales sanitarios en relación con la lactancia y la leche materna en una ciudad metropolitana de Turquía. Materiales y métodos. Este estudio se llevó a cabo entre julio de 2012 y diciembre de 2013. Los sujetos del estudio fueron profesionales de la salud que trabajaban en hospitales universitarios, hospitales de formación e investigación, hospitales públicos y privados, centros de servicios para niños, adolescentes, mujeres y de servicios de salud reproductiva, centros de salud general y centros de salud comunitarios ubicados en Ankara. Los datos se recogieron por medio de un cuestionario. El programa SPSS 11.5 se utilizó para el análisis estadístico. Resultados. En total, 715 personas participaron en este estudio. Entre los que tenían hijos propios, el 3,4% (n= 16) no había amamantado a sus bebés y el 7,6% (n= 36) había amamantado a sus bebés hasta el segundo año de vida. Se observó que el nivel de conocimiento sobre la lactancia y la lecha materna era deficiente en el 28,4% de los participantes, promedio en el 43,1% y adecuado en el 28,5%. Conclusión. Este estudio refleja la falta de conocimiento acerca de la lactancia y la leche materna entre los profesionales de la salud de Turquía. Si bien la gran mayoría de los participantes están de acuerdo con la recomendación de la OMS acerca de la duración de la lactancia materna, el porcentaje de profesionales de la salud que amamantaron durante el período recomendado fue muy bajo.


Introduction: Worldwide consensus about breastfeeding is that the infant should exclusively be breastfed until six months of life. Despite this, the rate of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of age is low in so many countries including Turkey. The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, the attitudes and the own experiences of health professionals about breastfeeding and breast milk, in a metropolitan city in Turkey. Materials and methods: This study was performed between July 2012 and December 2013. Study subjects included healthprofessionals working in the university hospitals, research and training hospitals, public and private hospitals; child, adolescent, women and reproductive health services centers, family health centers, and community health centers located in Ankara. A questionnaire was used to collect data. SPSS 11.5 package program was used for statistical analysis. Results: A total of 715 people participated in this study. From those who had children themselves 3.4% (n= 16) had not breastfed their babies at all, and 7.6% (n= 36) had breastfed their baby until second year of age. It was found that 28.4% of the participants had poor, 43.1% had average and 28.5% had good knowledge level about breastfeeding and breast milk. Conclusion: This study reflects the lack of knowledge about breastfeeding and breast milk among the health professionals in Turkey. Although a great majority of participants agree the recommendation of WHO about the duration ofbreastfeeding, the percentage ofbreastfeeding of health care professionals during recommended period was very low.
