Objective: To synthesize evidence from qualitative studies on the experiences of women from around the world who exclusively breastfed their full-term infants.
Data Sources: CINAHL Plus, PubMed, APA PsycInfo, Scopus, and ProQuest Dissertation & Theses Global.
Study Selection: We selected reports of qualitative studies that were conducted in high-, middle-, and low-income countries; published between January 2001 and February 2022 in English; and focused on the experiences of women who exclusively breastfed their full-term infants.
Background: The critical time to continue or stop breastfeeding is during the first month after hospital discharge. Mothers receive lactation and physical support by fathers and others bottle-feeding human or formula milk to their infants.
Purpose: To describe the effect of feeders (mothers, fathers, and others) and different milk feeding on infants' weekly exclusive breastfeeding rates, from birth to 1 month after discharge.
Background: Emotion regulation is a regulatory process to modify emotional activation in a wide range of situations and shows potential effects to reduce pain and emotional distress. The purpose of this review was to enhance an understanding of the role of emotion regulation strategies and their outcomes in reducing women's pain from labor to 3 months postpartum.
Design: Integrative review.
Objective: To describe how women perceive paternal support of breastfeeding and identify actions women value during the early breastfeeding postpartum.
Design: A qualitative secondary analysis of semi-structured interviews using thematic analysis collected after birth and via telephone at 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks after discharge.
Setting: A regional medical center in the southeast region of the United States.
Background: Opioids pose significant increased risk for serious adverse drug events (ADEs).
Purpose: The purpose was to identify significant predictors and their associated magnitude of risk for serious life-threatening opioid ADEs.
Methods: A post hoc design was used to examine predictors of opioid analgesics ADEs with Food and Drug Administration Adverse Events Reporting System (FAERS) data.

Introduction: Persistent pelvic girdle pain (PGP) and the resulting consequences may occur for more than 10 years after birth. The purpose of this meta-synthesis is to provide a new interpretation and deeper understanding of women's experience of living with PGP postpartum.
Methods: A literature review of CINAHL, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, and ProQuest dissertations was conducted for any qualitative study addressing PGP after birth and published in English from 2000 to 2019.
Background: Hemorrhagic strokes have not declined in the United States despite a decline worldwide.
Purpose: To identify hemorrhagic stroke risk associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), other medications associated with increased risk for hemorrhagic stroke, and diabetes, cardiovascular disease, gender, and age.
Methods: A post hoc design was used to examine predictors of hemorrhagic stroke for adults of age 65 years and older from the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Events Reporting System database.
