Pronurturance was less likely following caesarean section (adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR) 0.07, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.03–0.17). Pronurturance was more likely with a known midwife during labour and birth (aOR 1.89, 95% CI 1.35–2.65). Contributing to the low rate of pronurturance were lack of antenatal skin-to-skin information; babies being wrapped; women wearing clothing; and non-urgent caregiver interruptions including weighing the baby or facilitating the mother to shower. Key Conclusion: Health services must strategically address the institutional processes which delay and/or interrupt skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding in birth suite and operating theatre settings. Implications for Practice: Midwives and midwifery students providing continuity of carer are best placed to provide pronurturance to mothers and babies. Caregivers should educate women about pronurturance antenatally, and actively support immediate, uninterrupted mother/baby skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding after birth.]]> Wed 23 Nov 2022 11:50:22 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18446 Wed 11 Apr 2018 17:18:23 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12738 Wed 11 Apr 2018 17:10:16 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15733 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:55:40 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13216 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:09:26 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22344 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:22:35 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30011 Wed 09 Feb 2022 15:54:28 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27515 25 kg/m²) and parity is associated with risk of weight gain. Weight gain greater than that recommended by the Institute of Medicine (IOM)is also associated with lower rates of breastfeeding initiation and duration in women. The aim of this pilot randomised controlled trial is to examine the feasibility of recruiting and maintaining a cohort of pregnant women with the view of reducing postpartum weight retention and improving breastfeeding outcomes. Women (BMI of 25-35 kg/m² (n = 36)) were recruited from the John Hunter Hospital antenatal clinic in New South Wales, Australia. Participants were stratified by BMI and randomised to one of three groups with follow-up to six months postpartum. Women received a dietary intervention with or without breastfeeding support from a lactation consultant, or were assigned to a wait-list control group where the dietary intervention was issued at three months postpartum. Feasibility and acceptability was assessed by participation rates and questionnaire. Analysis of variance and covariance was conducted to determine any differences between groups. Sixty-nine per cent of the participants were still enrolled at six months postpartum. This pilot demonstrated some difficulties in recruiting women from antenatal clinics and retaining them in the trial. Although underpowered; the results on weight; biomarkers and breastfeeding outcomes indicated improved metabolic health.]]> Wed 02 Oct 2019 10:19:56 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47084 Tue 13 Dec 2022 16:35:23 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52076 BACKGROUNDSkin-to-skin contact (SSC) occurs when a naked full-term neonate is placed on their mother’s bare abdomen or chest within 10 minutes of birth or soon after. Due to its multiple benefits for both the mother and the neonate, SSC is highly recommended by the World Health Organization. However, implementation of SSC in the Arab world is limited.AIMTo undertake a systematic review to identify the knowledge, attitudes, practice, barriers and facilitators to SSC implementation among Arabian mothers and the health care providers in Arab countries.METHODSA systematic scoping review using the JBI three-step search strategy was used to systematically review quantitative and qualitative evidence.FINDINGSA total of eight studies were included. Around 82% of mothers would like to have more education about SSC. The majority of mothers (n= 254, 79%) expressed a positive attitude towards SSC, however more than three quarters did not correctly practice SSC. Among the healthcare providers, the mean knowledge score about SSC was 14.42 (95% CI = −0.21 to 29.06,I2= 96%). This review found evidence for barriers to SSC implementation including lack of education, lack of guidelines and cultural beliefs.CONCLUSIONSArabian mothers had positive attitudes towards SSC, but the practice was poor due to lack of education and the lack of protocols and guidelines. The knowledge and practice of Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) were poor among health care providers (HCPs) despite holding a positive attitude. Assessment of knowledge, attitude, and practice among Arab mothers and HCPs is needed to develop a robust educational programme to raise awareness with regards to SSC.]]> Thu 28 Sep 2023 09:06:32 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23945 Thu 14 Apr 2022 11:05:04 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15986 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:23:40 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10564 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:10:44 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29161 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:35:42 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27671 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:33:50 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28102 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:56 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50297 Sat 15 Jul 2023 11:57:12 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32333 Mon 23 Sep 2019 13:40:38 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32323 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:30:01 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32320 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:07:14 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32319 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:02:40 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32324 Mon 23 Sep 2019 11:14:15 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50108 Mon 17 Jul 2023 11:54:03 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46222 Mon 14 Nov 2022 12:11:52 AEDT ]]>
