Intervenção educacional em equipes do Programa de Saúde da Família para promoção da amamentação

Abstract

The training of Family Health Program teams as proposed by the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative proved to be an effective, low-cost strategy for raising awareness among health providers, providing consistent information, and assuring the required support to mothers with breastfeeding issues.

A capacitação dos profissionais de saúde que atuam na área do aleitamento materno

“…Durante alguns anos, os treinamentos na área de aleitamento materno foram negligenciados pelos profissionais de saúde em geral, o que gerou desinformações e levou a inabilidades aos profissionais (18).…”

Aleitamento Materno E Fatores Relacionados Ao Desmame Precoce

“…Another study evidenced that the training of professionals responsible for assisting the puerperas in primary care contributed significantly to the increase in the rates for continuation with BF, this being an economical and viable strategy. The intervention with the professionals allows the standardization of information transmitted and ensures the effectiveness of the actions undertaken by the health team (12) .…”

Implantacao da Rede Amamenta Brasil e prevalencia de aleitamento materno exclusivo

“…3 An intervention study in Montes Claros, MG, Southeastern Brazil, based on training for this initiative, noted that the length of EBF was significantly higher in places where the intervention took place: duration went from 104 to 125 days for those mothers cared for by teams that participated in the training. 2 Another study sought to identify factors associated with the prevalence of EBF in infants less than six months in relation to PHCU activities promoting, protecting and supporting breastfeeding. It showed that breastfeeding support groups and guidance on managing it significantly increased prevalence: the PR of EBF for these factors were 1.14 (95%CI 1.01;1.28) and 1.20 (95%CI 1.08;1.33), respectively.…”

“…However, the coverage of measures adopted in hospitals is called into question without effective support in the centers where the infants' outpatient care occurs, such as Primary Health Care Units (PHCU). 2 The work performed in these units, which begins in the antenatal period and continues after discharge from hospital, is an opportunity to identify risks of early weaning and to establish interventions. 8 Giving information on the advantages of breastfeeding may influence mothers who are undecided on how to feed their child.…”
