“…The area of breastfeeding and lactation education could benefit from a human factors perspective, a discipline that is focused on tailoring solutions to user needs. 44 Further, such investigation is particularly critical as there are currently no Baby-Friendly guidelines associated with tailoring information to the needs of individual patients or specific patient populations.…”

Objective: The objective of this study was to examine postpartum, inpatient mother-lactation educator (LE) breastfeeding education, resulting perceptions, and patient-reported worries and outcomes. In the breastfeeding literature, there is inadequate insight into the mother-LE relationship, and specifically, the extent to which contextual factors are elicited and information is tailored accordingly. In this study, we were specifically interested in maternal contextual factors. Materials and Methods: Using a mixed methods approach, we (1) captured 20 postpartum, inpatient mother-LE breastfeeding education sessions and analyzed them for the presence of maternal contextual factors, (2) administered separate perception questions to mothers and LEs, and (3) conducted 13 follow-up interviews with mothers after being discharged from the hospital. Results: Inpatient breastfeeding education is delivered in dynamic and busy clinical settings, characterized by potential distractions such as delivery of medical care. Maternal contextual factors are infrequently elicited during the education. Although both LEs and mothers rate the sessions positively, potential gaps remain as highlighted by the analyses of semistructured interviews with mothers. Conclusion: Human factors perspective, theories, and methods are relevant to the characterization of facilitators and barriers of current breastfeeding education, as well as to the development of interventions to support the delivery of human-centered, effective, and timely breastfeeding education.

“…Eagen‐Torkko describes how the concept of concordance frames breastfeeding success within an individual's goals that account for that person's circumstances . The commentary by Papautsky describes this concept within a patient‐centered human factors approach and recommends tailoring breastfeeding counseling to the individual by assessing that person's context to help identify barriers, facilitators, and definitions of success . These articles show how a patient‐centered perspective is the best framework for helping an individual with goals for infant feeding.…”
