“…Subsequently, to address the observed knowledge gap, we recommend an (online) learning module teaching how to retrieve best practice evidence considering all the aforementioned topics and apply the guideline. It has been shown that this type of educational intervention is able to improve this knowledge [ 11 ] This way, implementation in both basic and post-academic training of all HCPs will be facilitated. Finally, care facilities must provide clear protocols, in particular the hospitals with a BFHI certificate, and should be evaluated on the matter by the responsible governmental body.…”

Many guidelines offer recommendations to support the continuation of breastfeeding and the choice of medication when a mother undergoes a surgical procedure. The aim of this study is to investigate health care providers’ (HCPs) current practices and knowledge about peri-surgical medication and practices in breastfeeding women. We performed a cross-sectional study in Flanders (Belgium) assessing demographics, beliefs about breastfeeding and its health benefits, current practices concerning breastfeeding women undergoing (surgical) procedures and specific knowledge about the use of medication during breastfeeding. Two hundred and ninety-one (291) participants completed the online questionnaire. Many participants considered their knowledge about breastfeeding to be good, and almost all participants acknowledged the superiority of breastfeeding and the importance of its continuation. Very few participants were, however, familiar with the available protocols concerning surgical procedures in breastfeeding women. Less than half of the participants routinely advised the recommended practices to protect breastfeeding. For most of the peri-surgical medication, participants needed to look-up information about the compatibility with breastfeeding. We conclude that there is a knowledge gap and recommend the development of a comprehensive guideline as well as implementation of this information in basic and post-academic training.

“…A comprehensive clinical skills-based competency program should include breastfeeding education provided by local staff or external agencies. A static, one-time breastfeeding education class will likely not create sustained improvement 15. Thus, nurses should strive to cultivate a supportive breastfeeding culture and create enduring attitudes to sustain knowledge improvements over time.…”

“…Lastly, nurses must empower breastfeeding surgical patients to make informed choices concerning breastfeeding after surgery. Researchers recommend providing breastfeeding surgical patients with a brochure log of medications administered intraoperatively as part of the standard discharge instructions 15. Nurses should assess patients for knowledge deficits, teach, and guide them to make informed decisions concerning lactation.…”

Over half of surgeries in the US are conducted in physician-owned ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). While ASCs provide cost-effective and quality healthcare comparable to inpatient hospitals, they often lack robust support services, including lactation support. This article presents key information on breastfeeding benefits, early weaning risks, and strategies for nurses in ASCs to educate and support patients who are breastfeeding.

This December issue will print close to Christmas and New Year's Day. I started thinking about what I would wish for all of us as a new year begins. Obviously, I would wish for world peace and no Covid-19. That part was easy. Right now, I just wish my holiday shopping was done! So, I decided on another approach and thought I would try to answer some questions that I and Dr. Hooper have received over the years.Why are there so many research articles in JoPAN? Dr. Hooper and I love to receive manuscripts that are clinical or continuing education articles because we know that our readers in the clinical areas appreciate them so much. Best practice articles fall between the research and clinical articles. Many are projects that have shown promise in other hospitals and allow you to determine if it might work in your setting. An example of a best practice article that was rich with clinical information is on the topic of resumption of breastfeeding after surgery. 1 We do not receive many clinical or continuing education submissions. We encourage our readers to develop lectures and interests into published articles. We could use in-depth clinical or continuing education articles on many topics. Some examples follow but are not limited to: laryngospasm and/or bronchospasm (especially in pediatrics), care of specific types of more complex cases that are now going home on the same day (joints, dental, plastics), emergence delirium, care of the patient after a cesarean section, obstetrical emergencies, how to find a fetal heart tone, new technology and its use, assessment and management of the patient with COVID-19 in the PACU. One continuing education article from 2003 on understanding the complete blood count was the most cited article ever at the end of 2020. 2 Researchers are much more likely to publish because one ethical responsibility of conducting research is dissemination. Also, publication of research results is important because research produces the evidence upon which our practice is based.How do I write a continuing education article? Many types of articles can be turned into a continuing education (CE) article. The author writes 2 to 3 objectives and at least 10 multiple choice ques-The ideas or opinions expressed in this editorial are those solely of the author and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of ASPAN, the Journal, or the Publisher.
