Prevalence of educational practices about exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) in Cuiabá - MT

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Objective:

To describe the prevalence of educational practices in health on exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) in the city of Cuiabá between July and December 2012.

Methods:

This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study, carried out among hospitalized women. The sample consisted of 306 women in the immediate postpartum period. Data were collected through a semi-structured questionnaire.

Results:

Eight years of schooling or more (OR = 1.77); income of up to two minimum wages (OR = 1.22); planned pregnancy (OR = 1.31); start of antenatal care in the first term (OR = 1.65) and primiparous (OR = 1.21) were features that appear associated with a greater chance of receiving breastfeeding training than other women.

Conclusion:

It is necessary to rethink these practices, in order to carry out educational activities that aim for changes in the professional/user relationship, with a view to the welcoming of pregnant women.
