Breastfeeding promotion and support: a quality improvement study.

BACKGROUND
Breastfeeding success is determined by early skin to skin contact, early initiation of breastfeeding, rooming-in, baby-led breastfeeding, creation of a favorable environment, specific training of health professionals, and continuity of care.


OBJECTIVE
To investigate the women's satisfaction regarding the care and support received in the first days after childbirth.


MATERIAL AND METHODS
A questionnaire of 24 items was administered to mothers before discharge, from May to September 2019 at the University Hospital of Modena.


RESULTS
The predictive variables of exclusive breastfeeding were the delivery mode, age at birth and parity. The multivariate analysis showed that a high satisfaction score was associated with vaginal birth (OR=2.63, p=0.005), rooming-in during the hospitalization (OR=8.64, p<0.001), the skin to skin contact (OR=6.61, p=0.001) and the first latch-on within 1 hour after birth (OR=3.00, p=0.02).


CONCLUSIONS
Mothers' satisfaction is one of the important factors of positive experience during hospital stay and of better health outcomes.
