Brief Summary:
Breastfeeding initiation among mothers of low birth weight LBW infants is crucial for neonatal health but poses significant challenges This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of nursing-led telemedicine lactation support versus in-person lactation support on breastfeeding initiation rates in mothers of LBW infants The study will utilize validated tools such as the LATCH scoring system the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form BSES-SF and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory STAI to assess outcomes By evaluating these two modalities the research seeks to inform best practices for lactation support particularly in settings where in-person care is limited
Detailed Description:
Breastfeeding offers unparalleled health benefits for infants and mothers including optimal nutrition immune protection and enhanced bonding These benefits are especially critical for low-birth-weight infants who are at increased risk for morbidity and mortality Despite the recognized importance mothers of low birth weight LBW infants often face barriers to initiating and maintaining breastfeeding due to factors such as neonatal intensive care unit NICU admissions maternal stress and lack of specialized support
Telemedicine in Lactation Support Telemedicine has emerged as a promising avenue for delivering healthcare services including lactation support It offers increased accessibility and convenience particularly for mothers who may face challenges attending in-person consultations While telemedicine has been successfully implemented in various healthcare domains its effectiveness compared to traditional in-person lactation support requires further investigation particularly among mothers of LBW infants
Nurses play a pivotal role in providing education emotional support and practical assistance to breastfeeding mothersUnderstanding how nursing interventions can be optimized in telemedicine versus in-person settings is essential for enhancing breastfeeding initiation
Objectives
To compare breastfeeding initiation rates between mothers receiving telemedicine lactation support and those receiving in-person support
To assess changes in breastfeeding self-efficacy using the BSES-SF
To evaluate maternal satisfaction with the mode of lactation support received
To measure maternal anxiety and stress levels using the STAIoTo monitor infant growth parameters up to 3 months postpartum
To monitor infant growth parameters up to 3 months postpartum
