Résumé : |
OBJECTIVE : Volunteer breastfeeding support groups are deemed effective in promoting breastfeeding initiation and duration, but women's views are not well reported. The aim of this study was to explore women's experiences of Breastfeeding Support Groups in Ireland from their perspective.
METHODS : Interviews were conducted online. Interviews were audiorecorded, transcribed, and analysed using Thematic Analysis. Cultural Historical Activity Theory was used as the theoretical framework. RESULTS : Six key themes were identified: 'complexity of breastfeeding support', 'community and connection', 'impact of culture on breastfeeding needs', 'the journey', 'passing on', and 'what mothers want'. Mothers primarily attend in order to meet other mothers, and not necessarily with a problem, getting practical suggestions to meet their individual and changing needs. The social aspect of support groups fosters a sense of community and inclusion, long-standing friendships, a social outlet, and ongoing support. CONCLUSIONS : More resources, acknowledgement and funding are needed to provide breastfeeding support groups in local communities. Breastfeeding support groups and health professionals need to emphasise the social aspects of the interactions at these group rather than attending for a breastfeeding problem. |
