Resumen
Antecedentes: La lactancia materna es baja en el país en niños menores de 6 meses. La estancia hospitalaria significa barreras adicionales a la lactancia materna lo que dificulta aún más su práctica. La caracterización de la lactancia materna a neonatos internados en el hospital Roberto Gilbert en cuanto a actitud y práctica de la lactancia no se ha realizado. Objetivos: Determinar el tipo de actitud y las prácticas de lactancia de las madres de neonatos internados en el hospital Roberto Gilbert Elizalde. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio transversal en el que se incluyeron 100 puérperas elegidas por conveniencia que consintieron informadamente de su participación, que tenían a sus hijos internado en el hospital Roberto Gilbert Elizalde en Guayaquil, Ecuador entre el 1 de abril al 31de mayo de 2019. Se excluyeron aquellas mujeres que disintieron de su participación o que tenían enfermedad mental o discapacidad. Para la encuesta se utilizó el Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale. Resultados: El 51% tenían una actitud positiva hacia la lactancia, 48% neutra y 1% positiva al uso de biberón. El 32% de las madres practicaba el amamantamiento en el ámbito hospitalario. La práctica de la lactancia fue significativamente mayor entre aquellas madres con actitud positiva hacia el amamantamiento materno (69% vs 31%; P 0.015). Conclusiones: La actitud y la práctica de la lactancia de madres puérperas a hijos hospitalizados en el Roberto Gilbert Elizalde es baja. Existe asociación entre la práctica de la lactancia y una actitud positiva hacia ella
Background: Breastfeeding is low in the country in children under 6 months. The hospital stay means additional barriers to breastfeeding, which makes its practice even more difficult. The characterization of breastfeeding in neonates admitted to the Roberto Gilbert hospital in terms of attitude and practice of breastfeeding has not been carried out. Objectives: Determine the type of attitude and breastfeeding practices of mothers of neonates admitted to the Roberto Gilbert Elizalde hospital. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out in which 100 postpartum women were included, chosen by convenience who gave informed consent to their participation, who had their children hospitalized at the Roberto Gilbert Elizalde hospital in Guayaquil, Ecuador between April 1 to May 31, 2019. Women who disagreed with their participation or who had mental illness or disability were excluded. The Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale was used for the survey. Results: 51% had a positive attitude towards breastfeeding, 48% neutral and 1% positive towards bottle use. 32% of mothers practiced breastfeeding in the hospital setting. The practice of breastfeeding was significantly higher among those mothers with a positive attitude towards breastfeeding (69% vs 31%; P 0.015). Conclusions: The attitude and practice of breastfeeding of postpartum mothers to hospitalized children at the Roberto Gilbert Elizalde is low. There is an association between the practice of breastfeeding and a positive attitude towards it
