RESUMEN RESUMEN RESUMEN RESUMEN RESUMEN Este estudio tuvo como objetivo comprender la vivencia de las funcionarias contratadas en una industria textil del Estado de Ceara, Brasil, después de regresar al trabajo, frente al proceso de amamantamiento materno o desmame. Investigación de carácter cualitativo, realizada en junio de 2007 con cinco madres trabajadoras. Los relatos de dichas mujeres, a partir de un conjunto de preguntas abiertas, revelaron dificultades para conciliar el trabajo y la amamantación, como consecuencia de sus creencias y de la falta de soporte social e institucional. Las condiciones deficientes de trabajo a las que esas mujeres están expuestas también son factores determinantes en la continuidad o interrupción de la amamantación. Es necesario ampliar las mejorías de las instituciones con guarderías, puestos de recolección de leche y acompañamiento permanente de esas mujeres, cuando se produzca su vuelta al trabajo.

Evaluation of Occupational Factors on Continuation of Breastfeeding and Formula Initiation in Employed Mothers

“…Moreover, we found that there is no suitable physical space for breast milk pumping in 76.47% of cases, and 60.5% of these women used formula to feed their child, significantly higher than those women who had access to a suitable physical space for breast milk pumping in their workplace (p=0.004). A study in Brazil by Murais et al (2011) reported unsupportive workplace as a challenge for breastfeeding employed women and highlighted the need for facilities to care for infants, milking and milk preservation. Amin et al (2011) in Malaysia also mention the need for facilities such as milking room and refrigerators as a means for resolving the problems of breastfeeding mothers.…”

“…In addition, educating employers for supporting employed mothers and providing the necessary facilities (e.g. milking room, milking and preservation equipment, and nurseries at workplace) will help resolve this challenge ( Amin et al, 2011 ; Rojjanasrirat & Sousa, 2010 ; Payne & Nicholls, 2010 ; Morais et al, 2011 ). Considering the fact that breastfeeding has an immense impact on the physical and mental health of both infant and mother, as well as the fact that any threats to breastfeeding will compromise the health of families, the community and the healthcare policies of the nation, it appears that investigating the factors affecting breastfeeding rates in employed women and finding solutions will improve the healthcare status in Iran.…”

Facilidades e dificuldades encontradas pelas puérperas para amamentar / Facilities and difficulties found by mothers to breastfeed

“…Education that almost always focuses on the biological aspect of breastfeeding. 17 It is verified, therefore, that the maternal absence of the home hinders the practice of breastfeeding, especially the exclusive one. Mothers who report working a few days a week and who stay five to six months at home after the birth of the child also breastfeed more.…”

Fatores de risco para a não amamentação: um estudo caso-controle

“…[8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Os resultados discordantes, em escala geográfica (regiões, estados), 13 as tendências temporais e as diferenças entre estratos socioeconômicos constituem um desafio aos formuladores e gestores de programas de saúde e, por extensão, aos estudos sobre o tema.…”
