Theory and social practice of agency in combining breastfeeding and employment: A qualitative study among health workers in New Delhi, India.

CONCLUSIONS: Agency features and their elements are complex, dynamic and involve family members. Bandura's theoretical agency constructs are partially useful in this context, but additional social practice constructs of family structure and relationship quality are needed for better correspondence with women's experiences of agency. The variation in individual approaches to agency has implications for supportive health and workplace services. PMID: 25108676 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
