Abstract:
Objective To understand obstetrical nurses′awareness and attitude to breastfeeding in patients with hepatitis B in level three class A hospitals in Beijing,so as to provide references for scientific guidance and increase of breastfeeding rate in this special population in the future.Methods Using convenience sampling method,questionnaires were delivered in 1 86 obstetrical nurses from 7 level three class A hospitals in Beijing,in order to investigate their awareness on whether patients with hepatitis B could feed infants with breast milk,and their attitude toward breastfeeding of patients with hepatitis B.Results A total of 1 86 obstetrical nurses were surveyed,of whom only 64.6% could correctly answer breastfeeding-related problems about patients with hepatitis B.82.3% of the surveyed obstetrical nurses falsely thought that level of HBV DNA titer in breast milk would affect breastfeeding.Only 29.6% of the surveyed nurses were aware of Clinical Guideline on Prevention of Mother-to-child Transmission.When surveying about their willingness,only 45.2% of the nurses supported the breastfeeding of patients with hepatitis B.Differences were statistically significant among nurses on their awareness and attitude toward whether newborn infants could be fed by breast milk from patients with hepatitis B after receiving immune block,and on whether the nurses would encourage puerperas with hypatitis B to feed their infants by breast milk when they were consulted by these puerperas.Conclusions Hospital and department managers should pay increasing attention to learning and awareness of new knowledge and new technologies of obstetrical nursing staff,by implementing continuing education,enhancing their acceptance of self-worth and their confidence in self knowledge level,so as to provide more scientific,accurate and effective health education for maternal and child safety.
