Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this scoping review is to identify, categorize, and map the types of support and services available to at-risk mothers and their children in maternity residences. A secondary objective is to identify and map the measures used to evaluate the efficacy of these types of support and services. INTRODUCTION Pregnant and parenting women and their children experiencing complex challenges related to the social determinants of health, including unstable housing and poverty, are at high risk of long-term negative health and socioeconomic outcomes. Maternity residences may provide support and services that improve this population's outcomes; however, there is little understanding of what services are offered and how efficacious they may be. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a comprehensive overview of support and services in maternity residences, and to identify the measures used to evaluate the efficacy of the support and services. This will provide the foundation to evaluate these services and outcomes and inform the development of future maternity residential programs. INCLUSION CRITERIA Studies including pregnant and parenting women and gender-diverse individuals who are housed in, or accessing the services of, maternity residences in politically stable high-income countries due to challenges rooted in the social determinants of health will be considered for inclusion. We define maternity residences as any agency with a residential component offering support/services to this population. METHODS This review will be conducted in accordance with JBI methodology for scoping reviews. The data will be analyzed using a quantitative descriptive analysis approach. The data analysis and discussion will be informed by the Social Determinants of Health, Reproductive Justice, Harm Reduction, and Health in All Policies frameworks.

Resilient Infant Feeding Among Young Women With Histories of Maltreatment and Poor Support. J Obstet Gynecol Neonatal Nurs 2024:S0884-2175(24)00070-4. [PMID: 38782046 DOI: 10.1016/j.jogn.2024.04.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 04/14/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore how young women with histories of maltreatment describe their experiences and decisions around infant feeding. DESIGN Secondary qualitative analysis using supplementary analysis. SETTING Washington, DC; Baltimore, MD; and their respective suburbs. PARTICIPANTS Young women with histories of being abused or neglected as children or adolescents and who gave birth to one child before age 19 years (N = 9). METHODS We collected data through in-depth semistructured interviews and analyzed them using reflexive thematic analysis. RESULTS The analysis resulted in three themes: Infant Feeding Intention, Identifying Challenges and Persistence, and Pivoting to What Is Feasible. Participants felt that breastfeeding was valuable and wanted to be able to breastfeed their children. They continued to provide human milk through painful latches and a lack of support and guidance, but formula became the only viable option for many of them. CONCLUSION Despite wanting to breastfeed and continuing through barriers, many participants could not continue to breastfeed as long as they wanted because of a systemic lack of support. These findings indicate a need to support young women with histories of maltreatment through increased and consistent access to lactation support providers and trauma-informed care. Nurses and other clinicians are uniquely positioned to support young women with histories of maltreatment to overcome barriers related to breastfeeding.

Dario H, Spatz DL. An Integrative Review of Breastfeeding and Homelessness. Nurs Womens Health 2023; 27:416-426. [PMID: 37806318 DOI: 10.1016/j.nwh.2023.06.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2023] [Revised: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To synthesize the current literature surrounding breastfeeding and homelessness, and to determine the impact of disparities in this population. DATA SOURCES An integrative search was conducted using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and using the search terms "breastfeeding" and "homelessness" throughout electronic databases PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus. STUDY SELECTION Inclusion criteria were articles published in English from January 2007 to September 2022. Exclusion criteria were studies published more than 15 years ago, studies published in a language other than English, opinion articles, and irrelevance to breastfeeding and homelessness. The initial search yielded 100 results. After removing duplicates and articles because of irrelevance, the final number of articles for this synthesis was seven. DATA EXTRACTION Data were extracted from each article, critically appraised using Joanna Briggs Institute criteria, and summarized in a table of evidence. DATA SYNTHESIS Three common themes were identified: Decreased Breastfeeding Initiation Rates and Duration in the Homeless Population, Impact of Community and Clinical Support, and Breastfeeding Practices Influenced by Individual Factors. CONCLUSION Providers and nurses should refer patients to the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children; use techniques to instill a parent's intent to breastfeed; provide early breastfeeding education; promote breastfeeding initiation within 1 hour of birth; and encourage peer support groups. Although current researchers provide insight into potential barriers and interventions, more research is needed to gain additional data on how to overcome identified barriers to breastfeeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human milk feeding reduces the incidence and costs of several maternal and childhood illnesses. Initiation and success of human milk feeding are influenced by race, socioeconomic status, and family support. The influence of early in-hospital lactation assistance in breastfeeding success has been not well described. RESEARCH AIMS We aimed to determine how suspected known factors influencing breastfeeding success influence in-hospital human milk feeding rates. Second, we aimed to examine how timing of lactation assistance is related to success of human milk feeding during the newborn hospitalization for healthy infants. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of term infants born between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2016 at a large tertiary academic hospital. We considered "success" to be 100% human milk feeding during the birth hospitalization, and compared differences in success by demographics, payor, race, and initial feeding preference. Influences of lactation assistance on success were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS Mean success with exclusive human milk feeding among 7,370 infants was 48.9%, (n = 3,601). Successful participants were more likely to be 39-40 weeks' gestation (64.9%, n = 2,340), non-Hispanic/non-Latino (80.0%, n = 2,882), and using private insurance (69.2%, n = 2,491). Participants who had early feeding assisted by an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) before being fed any formula were more likely to be successful than participants who had a feeding assisted by a non-IBCLC nurse (80% vs. 40% respectively). CONCLUSIONS Success for exclusive human milk feeding during newborn hospitalization is strongly associated with several factors. Early intervention with IBCLCs can greatly improve breastfeeding success.

Demographic, socioeconomic, and sociocultural factors associated with any breastfeeding in homeless mothers. MATERNAL AND CHILD NUTRITION 2021; 17:e13167.

Abstract
In high-income countries, breastfeeding has been shown to be positively associated with socioeconomic position. However, less is known about breastfeeding practices and their associated factors among extremely disadvantaged populations. We aimed to assess the associations of cultural origins and socioeconomic factors with any breastfeeding initiation and duration in homeless families. We analyzed data from 456 children aged 6 months to 5 years from the cross-sectional ENFAMS survey, conducted in 2013 among a random sample of homeless families in shelters in the Greater Paris area. Data were collected by bilingual interviewers in 17 languages. Four nested multivariable robust Poisson regression models were run in a hierarchical framework to determine the factors associated with breastfeeding initiation and with any breastfeeding for 6 months or more. Most of the children (86.0%) had previously been or were currently being breastfed at the time of the survey; 58.9% were fed with breast milk ≥6 months. A higher maternal age and African origin were positively associated with breastfeeding ≥6 months, although the relation to the region of origin was moderated by education level. Migration to escape war, unrest or other violence and the child's birth in France were inversely associated with breastfeeding ≥6 months. Any breastfeeding by these homeless mothers seems influenced predominantly by their cultural origin and complicated by a difficult migration trajectory. The possible influence of poor material circumstances and cumulative hardship should encourage interventions targeted at homeless mothers that emphasize social/family support with a commitment to improving the family's living conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE to construct conceptual and operational definitions of Nursing Outcomes "Breastfeeding establishment: infant (1000)" and "Breastfeeding establishment: maternal (1001)". METHOD integrative literature review in the following databases: PUBMED (United States National Library of Medicine); LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature); CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature); SciVerse SCOPUS; Web of Science; BDENF (Brazilian Nursing Database) and EMBASE (Excerpta Medica Database). The gray literature was explored to elucidate topics not covered by the articles. Of 3242 articles, 96 were selected to be read in full, and 43 were used for constructing the definitions. Five theses, three dissertations, three books and two manuals were selected. RESULTS all the results were reviewed. The definitions facilitated the improvement of the content proposed by the Nursing Outcomes Classification, favoring its application in clinical practice and supporting the development of research and teaching. CONCLUSION it was proposed to change the definition of the two outcomes, as well as to change the title of one of them to "Breastfeeding establishment: newborn & infant" (1000), modifying seven of its indicators and excluding one. For the outcome related to the mother, it was proposed to modify two indicators and exclude one.

Abstract
Returning to work poses a challenge to new mothers' breastfeeding success during the first 6 months postpartum. While previous research has shown that breastfeeding-related workplace policy plays a significant role in women's decision to continue breastfeeding, the extent to which interpersonal factors such as coworkers' (lack of) support and stigma affect women's breastfeeding behavior is less understood. Through a cross-sectional survey with 500 working mothers, this research found that female coworker support of other women played an important role in affecting mothers' decision to continue breastfeeding after returning to work and contributed to breastfeeding self-efficacy. The findings suggest that mothers' perception of supportive coworker communication has an impact on sustained breastfeeding. Workplaces need to enhance the mother-friendly climate by encouraging and rewarding coworkers and providing support necessary for breastfeeding colleagues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several professional health organizations have made statements endorsing the safety of breastfeeding for women taking medication-assisted treatment for an opioid use disorder. Yet, breastfeeding initiation rates for this population are approximately 50% lower than the general United States' population. Furthermore, little is known about what influences the infant-feeding decisions of these women. Research aim: This study aimed to describe what influences the infant-feeding decisions of women taking medication-assisted treatment for an opioid use disorder. METHODS Qualitative description was used. We conducted semistructured, individual interviews with mothers ( N = 8) who were receiving medication-assisted treatment during the postpartum period. We analyzed our data using thematic analysis. RESULTS We identified two themes: (a) what I heard about breastfeeding, and (b) doing what I feel is best for my baby. What I heard about breastfeeding reflects the information and misinformation that women received about breastfeeding. Doing what I feel is best for my baby describes the inner conflict that the women experienced. Most of the women in this study desired to breastfeed; however, all women reported that the social stigma surrounding methadone use strongly influenced their infant-feeding decision. CONCLUSION This study sheds new light on what influences the infant-feeding decisions of women taking medication-assisted treatment and represents an initial step toward the development of targeted interventions to improve breastfeeding rates for this unique population.
