This prospective cohort study was conducted to evaluate the association between women's satisfaction with breastfeeding at 1 month post-partum and the risk of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) interruption before 6 months. 287 mother-infant dyads randomly selected from two maternity hospitals were followed from birth to 24 months of infant's age. Women's satisfaction with breastfeeding was assessed using the Maternal Breastfeeding Evaluation Scale (MBFES) at 1 month. The association between women's satisfaction with breastfeeding and risk of EBF interruption before 6 months was estimated using Cox proportional hazards model. Kaplan-Meier survival curves for EBF were compared between women with lower satisfaction with breastfeeding (MBFES score < median 124) and those with higher satisfaction (MBFES score ≥ 124). Median EBF duration in women with higher satisfaction was 120 days (95%CI 109-131), vs. 26 days (95%CI 19-33) in less satisfied women. Each additional point on MBFES promoted a reduction of 2.0% in the risk of EBF interruption. Among women with satisfaction scores < 124, the risk of EBF interruption was 86% higher when compared with those ≥ 124 (adjusted hazard ratio 1.86; 95%CI 1.41-2.46). Lower maternal satisfaction with breastfeeding in the first month post-partum is associated with a higher risk of EBF interruption before 6 months.

Objective: Post-cesarean delivery (CD) acute pain may progress to chronic pain, which may impair maternal bonding and child development. In 2013, we compared the efficacy of versus on-demand oral analgesia for post-caesarean pain in a randomized-controlled-trial. The fixed-time-interval group had received scheduled paracetamol, tramadol, and diclofenac regardless of pain level, and the on-demand group received medication as needed, with oxycodone reserved for unrelieved pain in both groups.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to create a core outcome set and identify specific outcomes for different stages and nursing interventions related to lactational mastitis.
  • A mixed methods approach was used, including literature searches, interviews with stakeholders, and consensus meetings to gather comprehensive data.
  • The final core outcomes agreed upon were Pain Level, Breast Establishment (for infant and maternal), Breast Maintenance, Client Satisfaction, Sleep, and Family Support, with unique outcomes identified for different stages and interventions, highlighting the need for standardized reporting in research and practice.

Background: The postpartum period is a vital time for women, infants, spouses, parents, caregivers and families. Considering the importance of postpartum care and the necessity of using comprehensive and up-to-date clinical guidelines in Iran, this study was designed to implement a indigenized clinical guideline in Iran on maternal outcomes, including maternal functioning, postpartum depression and postpartum specific anxiety (primary outcomes) as well as infant care, maternal health problems, experiencing violence, feeding method and contraception use (secondary outcomes).

Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted with 272 postpartum women in Taleghani and Alzahra hospitals in Tabriz in 2023.

Objectives: Our goal was to measure the impact of postpartum implant insertion timing on breastfeeding success and duration in a population at high-risk for low milk supply.

Study Design: We conducted a three-armed randomized non-inferiority study of postpartum people who plan to breastfeed and have known risk factors for low milk supply. Participants were randomized to one of three groups for the timing of implant placement: within 30 minutes of placental delivery, 24-72 hours postpartum, or 6+ weeks postpartum.
