MANAGEMENT OF MASTITIS IN POST PARTUM: LITERATURE REVIEW

Mastitis is inflammation of the breast that may be caused by a bacterial infection. Infection is a phenomenon that often occurs in breastfeeding mothers, mastitis certainly requires immediate and appropriate treatment, and mastitis that is not handled properly can affect breastfeeding. This study aims to review the management of mastitis. Delayed, inappropriate and inadequate treatment of mastitis can lead to recurrence, more extensive breast lesions, and even tissue damage. Mastitis is most common in the second and third weeks postpartum, with most reports indicating that 74% to 95% of cases occur within the first 12 weeks. However, it can occur at any stage of lactation, including the second year. Mastitis and breast abscess occur in all populations, whether the mother is breastfeeding or not. The reported incidence varies from a few to 33% of breastfeeding women but is usually under 10%. The results show that clinical observation that mastitis is caused by stagnation of milk in the breast, and that efficient ejection of milk as it forms can largely prevent the condition (Gunther, 1958). Therefore, breastfeeding contests are the most important part of mastitis treatment, and in cases of mastitis, breastfeeding should still be given with the correct breastfeeding technique. Antibiotics and symptomatic treatment can make a woman feel better temporarily, but if the milk output is not corrected, the condition can get worse or even if antibiotics are given.

Decision-making process of breastfeeding behavior in mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus based on health belief model

BackgroundGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) threatens GDM mothers and their offspring’s health and breastfeeding is one of the most effective ways to decrease the risk. However, the prevalence of breastfeeding among GDM mothers is far from optimal and how GDM mothers develop their feeding behavior is still unclear. Thus, this study aimed to explore the formation of GDM mothers’ breastfeeding behaviors based on the health belief model (HBM).MethodsA questionnaire survey was conducted on 324 GDM mothers who have given birth within 6 months from January 1 to February 6, 2022. According to HBM, GDM mothers’ knowledge, the perceived threat from GDM, the perceived value of breastfeeding, self-efficacy, social support and GDM mothers’ breastfeeding behavior were measured. Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) was defined as an infant who received only breast milk in the past 24 h before the survey. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to explore how GDM mothers form their breastfeeding behaviors based on HBM.ResultsThe prevalence of EBF among GDM mothers was 33.95%. GDM mothers had limited knowledge of GDM (average 63.14% correct answer to 7 questions), especially poor on the long-term effect of GDM (39.81%) and protective effect of breastfeeding (34.57%-45.99%). Although GDM mothers showed high perceived benefits (Mean: 3.35, SD: 0.46), high self-efficacy (Mean: 3.43, SD: 0.97) and high level of social support for breastfeeding (Mean: 3.74, SD: 0.74), the various barriers (Mean: 2.20, SD: 0.47) hindered their success in EBF. The SEM results showed that a higher level of social support and more self-efficacy of breastfeeding resulted in a higher likelihood of EBF, while the higher level of knowledge of GDM, perceived higher barriers and benefits of breastfeeding and higher susceptibility to GDM consequences led to less EBF.ConclusionTo promote EBF, physicians’ education, emphasizing the protective effect of breastfeeding and how to correct breastfeeding, is highly recommended. In addition, social support for GDM mothers is also important to reduce their barriers to breastfeeding and help enhance self-efficacy in breastfeeding.

Considering widely known breastfeeding benefits, both for patients and their mothers, our data should encourage adequate awareness on how to choose correct breastfeeding modalities.
