| Résumé : |
Background: Midwifery staff shortages are a nationwide crisis (United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) et al 2021). Hantoushzadeh et al (2021) identified that extreme exhaustion and work-related stress were the causes of a reduction in staffing numbers. A qualitative study revealed that lack of breastfeeding support during the first two days postnatally has a significant impact on breastfeeding rates (Fox et al 2015). This study will focus on the qualitative experiences of breastfeeding women and how staffing levels and breastfeeding support impacted on these.
Aims and objectives: This research proposal is to investigate the rates of breastfeeding, staffing levels and the efficiency of breastfeeding support from midwives from Trust A. This will highlight any improvements that may be needed to increase breastfeeding rates within the trust. Objectives of this study will explore the impact of staffing levels on breastfeeding rates within the chosen trust, and whether staff shortages reduce the rates of breastfeeding in term neonates. Design and participants: This research proposal will consider a salutogenic approach and how this can improve breastfeeding rates. During this study semi-structured interviews will be conducted. The participants will be recruited from Trust A, a North West trust within the NHS. The participants will be women who have delivered in Trust A and breastfed on the postnatal ward. The participants will be 15-20 women who have breastfed, or are still breastfeeding, within the last 12 months. |
