However, compliance with breastfeeding recommendations is lacking in many developing countries. Thus, this study aimed to analyze mothers’ breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes, and practices, as well as factors that impact EBF at 6 months. Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted on 128 mothers who came for children’s vaccination at primary health care centers using a structured questionnaire in form of dichotomous, multiple choice, and open and scaling questions. Results: Of all mothers, 80.5% previously received information about breastfeeding. Of them, 38 (29.7%) initiated breastfeeding within 1 hour of delivery. Of the participants, <50% knew (46.1% and 44.5%, respectively) about breastfeeding, and 92.2% of mothers (118) had a negative view of EBF. The length of EBF for 1–2 months, 3–4 months, and 5–6 months were 3.9%, 82.8%, and 13.3%, respectively. Other foods are introduced before 6 months of age because of insufficient breast milk (15.6%) and the mother has work (11.7%). Conclusion: EBF for up to 6 months was not recommended despite the high percentage of mothers who initiated breastfeeding right after birth or within a few hours. Sustained health and community-based nutritional education are recommended for pregnant and lactating mothers to promote optimal breastfeeding for the initiation and continuation of breastfeeding practices. More counseling and support are needed for working mothers. Key words: exclusive breastfeeding, first six months, Khartoum, Sudan

Provider knowledge, beliefs, and self-efficacy to deprescribe opioids and sedative-hypnotics.

While many studies have assessed and measured patient attitudes toward deprescribing, less quantitative research has addressed the provider perspective. We thus sought to describe provider knowledge, beliefs, and self-efficacy to deprescribe, with a focus on opioids and sedative-hypnotics. An electronic anonymous survey was distributed to primary care providers at Kaiser Permanente Washington. Two reminder emails were sent. The survey included 10 questions on general deprescribing, and six questions each specific to opioid and sedative-hypnotic deprescribing. Knowledge questions used a multiple-choice response option format. Questions addressing beliefs and self-efficacy (i.e., confidence) used a 0-10 Likert scale. Scales were dichotomized at ≥7 to define agreement (belief questions) or confidence (self-efficacy questions). We calculated descriptive statistics to summarize the responses. Of 370 eligible primary care providers, 95 (26%) completed the survey. For general deprescribing questions, a majority believed that lack of patient willingness, withdrawal symptoms and fear of symptom return, and time constraints impeded deprescribing. Approximately half chose the correct answers about opioid deprescribing, 21% were confident that they could alleviate patient concerns about opioid tapering, and 32% were confident managing chronic non-cancer pain without opioids. For sedative-hypnotics, 64%-87% of respondents correctly answered questions about risks and the relative effectiveness of alternatives, but only one-third correctly answered a question about sedative-hypnotic tapering. Roughly half were confident in their ability to successfully engage patients in sedative deprescribing conversations and select alternatives. Only 54% and 34% were confident in writing a tapering protocol for opioids and sedative-hypnotics, respectively. Results suggest that raising provider awareness of patient willingness to deprescribe, addressing knowledge gaps, and increasing self-efficacy for deprescribing are important targets for improving deprescribing. Support for writing tapering protocols and prescribing evidence-based drug and non-drug alternatives may be important to improve care.
