Publication Open Access Six-month breastfeeding maintenance after a self-efficacy promoting programme: an exploratory trial(Wiley, 2021) Antoñanzas Baztán, Elena; Belintxon, Maider; Marín Fernández, Blanca; Redín Areta, María Dolores; Mujika Zabaleta, Agurtzane; Pumar Méndez, María Jesús; López de Dicastillo Sáinz de Murieta, Olga; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun ZientziakBackground: Breastfeeding care plays a fundamental role in establishing breastfeeding and longer duration after discharge. Practices though vary among professionals involved and are often inconsistent with good practices recommended, being a threat to women’s breastfeeding self-efficacy. Breastfeeding self-efficacy is considered a predictor for successful breastfeeding and a significant variable amenable to intervention for promoting lactation Aim: To evaluate the efficacy, feasibility and acceptability of a new breastfeeding self-efficacy promoting programme (SIALAC) on 6-month breastfeeding maintenance. Methods: In this exploratory multi-centre controlled trial, participants were allocated into control and intervention groups sequentially. Professionals in charge of the treatment groups were trained in between, with an especial focus on reducing practice variability. Control and intervention group women received usual care, and the intervention group received in addition SIALAC, a three-stage breastfeeding self-efficacy promoting programme. Primary outcome was breastfeeding maintenance up to 6 months analysed by Kaplan–Meier and Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. Student’s t-test or chi-square tests were also used for continuous and categorical variables. Data on breastfeeding status and breastfeeding self-efficacy were collected at baseline, and 4, 8 and 24 weeks after birth. Results: From May 2014 through November 2015, participants were enrolled. The sample consisted of 112 women. No relevant socio-demographic or obstetric difference was found between groups. The intervention achieved a significant difference between groups in breastfeeding survival (X2 = 4.94, p = 0.026). Six-month breastfeeding maintenance was significantly higher in the intervention group (67% vs. 55%; X2 = 5.384, p = 0.020). Breastfeeding dropout in the control group was 3.3 (CI 1.1, 10.1) times higher than that of the intervention group at 6 months. Breastfeeding self-efficacy scores were higher in the intervention group although without significant statistical difference. The programme showed good acceptability. Conclusion: Breastfeeding self-efficacy promoting programme SIALAC was beneficial in fostering 6-month breastfeeding survival. Full-scale trial should consider feasibility-related issues identified.Publication Open Access Development of a taxonomy of activities in health prevention and promotion for primary care(Wiley, 2022) Pumar Méndez, María Jesús; López de Dicastillo Sáinz de Murieta, Olga; Hernantes Colias, Naia; Iriarte Roteta, Andrea; Belintxon, Maider; García-Iriarte, Antonio; Mujika Zabaleta, Agurtzane; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun ZientziakAim: To develop a taxonomy of activities in health prevention and promotion for primary care. Background: Despite health promotion being considered a keystone for popula-tion health and health care sustainability, its implementation remains insufficient. Customized evaluation tools are needed to address prevention and promotion omis-sions in primary care. Method: A taxonomy was designed using documentary analysis. Documents describ-ing frontline primary care professionals' health prevention and promotion activities or omissions were identified and analysed using framework analysis. Results: The ‘Taxonomy of Activities in Health Prevention and Promotion for Primary Care’ (TaxoPromo) includes 43 activities grouped into eight categories: planification, situational analysis, capacity building, development of awareness/public opinion, advocacy, development of networks, development of partnerships and intervention strategies. Conclusion: By contrasting the usual practices with the activities collected in the TaxoPromo, opportunities for improvement can be unveiled. Implications for Nursing Management: The TaxoPromo can be used at organisational and system levels to identify actions to integrate health prevention and promotion activities into a systematic, data-driven process; design implementation plans and tailor-made strategies for capacity building; enable benchmarking; and address omis-sions. The TaxoPromo can serve as a catalyst tool for the clarification and expansion of the nursing role in health prevention and promotion.
