Factors influencing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women's breastfeeding practice: A scoping narrative review
CONCLUSION: Multiple social determinants resulting from colonization have interrupted traditional infant feeding practices and women's sources of support. Although Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have strong intention to breastfeed, their breastfeeding outcomes are impacted by lack of pro-breastfeeding support when encountering breastfeeding challenges as well as norms surrounding the use of infant formula milk. Culturally appropriate care is essential for identifying women's needs and avoiding stereotyping. Further research is needed to investigate the effectiveness of breastfeeding interventions for this grou...

Healthcare providers experiences of supporting breastfeeding: protocol for a systematic review of qualitative evidence
Introduction Breastfeeding provides various health benefits to both mothers and infants. Despite the efforts that have been made, breastfeeding rates remain lower than recommended worldwide. Healthcare providers often fail to provide the support women need due to various reasons such as lack of time and competency, discontinuity of care and so on. Synthesis of the primary qualitative studies exploring healthcare providers’ experience with supporting breastfeeding can provide greater insights into their perceived barriers and facilitators and further provide evidence for the implementation of interventions to improve ...

Risk of sexual dysfunctions in breastfeeding females: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis
Background Epidemiological studies do not provide accurate statistics on the percentage of breastfeeding women experiencing sexual dysfunctions and restraining from sexual activity. The data vary between 40% and 83% in the first group and 20–50% in the second one. Despite excessive studies on contributors to intimacy changes, breast feeding received little attention from researchers. The relationship between lactation and postpartum sexual dysfunctions remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis will synthesise available data and establish the link between breast feeding and sexuality problems. Methods...

Abstract C50: Applying the Stages of Change Model to breastfeeding in African-American women: A qualitative study
Conclusions: Findings indicate opportunities to enhance breastfeeding education and strengthen breastfeeding support for African-American women at each stage of behavioral change. Lessons learned can be used in designing culturally-tailored breastfeeding interventions for African-American women and also a survey tool to assess women's readiness to breastfeed. Healthcare providers and researchers should be aware of the unique historical and socio-cultural complexities influencing African-American women's breastfeeding behaviors when developing interventions. By improving breastfeeding in African-American women, aggressive b...

Abstract B60: Racial/ethnic differences in pregnant women's knowledge of the relationship between breast cancer risk and breastfeeding
Conclusions: The benefits of breastfeeding for long-term maternal health such as reduced risk of BC, including triple negative breast cancer in black women, have been documented in the literature; yet black women are least likely to breastfeed. The current study demonstrates that women have low knowledge about the link between BC and breastfeeding, particularly black and white women. These findings support the need for targeted interventions educating black women about the protective benefits of breastfeeding, particularly breast health, as a strategy to reduce their incidence and mortality of breast cancer. Despite our hy...

Abstract C54: Parity and breastfeeding associations with familial estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer
Conclusion. In a sample of African Americans with a notable family history of breast cancer, short duration of breastfeeding may represent an additional and modifiable risk factor for aggressive breast cancer. These findings support literature on the association of breastfeeding and ER-negative tumors, providing additional insight into the possible prevention of familial breast cancer. Studies including African Americans to further replicate these findings and shed light on potential biologic mechanisms are needed.Citation Format: Mattie Dibbell, Deborah Erwin, Detric Johnson, Lina Jandorf, Veronica Meadows Ray, Heather Oc...
