Resumen
DOS SANTOS E SILVA, Renata Kelly et al. The desire to donate breastmilk: Relationship with maternal. av.enferm. [online]. 2020, vol.38, n.2, pp.216-225. ISSN 0121-4500. https://doi.org/10.15446/av.enferm.v38n2.82838.
Objective:
To relate the desire to donate breastmilk to sociodemographic, clinical, and obstetric aspects.
Materials and methods
Cross-sectional and analytical study with quantitative approach, conducted with 226 women during the immediate postpartum period at a referral hospital in the interior of Piauí (Brazil) from December 2016 to June 2018. For analytical statistics, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Pearson's Chi-square, Likelihood Ratio and Student's t-tests were performed.
Results:
Sociodemographic characterization revealed that the study participants were predominantly married (n = 165; 73 %); mixed race (n = 145; 64.1 %), and 79 (34.9 %) practiced physical activity. Out of the total number on interviewees, 78.3 % (n = 177) wanted to be breast milk donors, showing a significant relationship with their years of study (p = 0.038) and being provided guidance on the subject during prenatal care (p = 0.028).
Conclusions:
The desire to donate breastmilk was significantly related to the variables of higher education of women and prenatal guidance on the subject, demonstrating the relevance of health education within this context.
