Abstract: (403 Views)
Background & Aim: One crucial step in implementing the child-friendly protocol in hospitals is to monitor the current situation regarding skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby and initiating breastfeeding within the first hour of birth. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the level of skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding within the initial hour postnatal and its associated factors
Materials & Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional study which was done in the winter of 2022 in Ayatollah Mousavi Hospital of Zanjan city. The sample size included 385 mothers who gave birth admitted to the Postpartum care unit of the Hospital, who were selected by simple random method. The data were collected by using the registering form of the demographic characteristics of the mother, the characteristics of the baby, the mother's pregnancy and delivery, and data related to the state of skin contact between the mother and the baby and the start of feeding in the first hour after the childbirth, through interviews with the mother, and with using SPSS software version 21 and descriptive statistics indicators, chi-square test and conditional logistic regression model were analyzed with a confidence level of 95%.
Results: The study's findings revealed that approximately 53% of infants experienced skin-to-skin contact with their mothers. Within the initial hour post-delivery, 89% of infants were breastfed. According to the results of the logistic regression model, the variable of delivery method had a significant relationship with the state of mother-baby skin contact and the variable of residence with breastfeeding in the first hour after childbirth. So that in mothers living in the city, the chance of breastfeeding in the first hour after birth was 2.5 times higher (p=0.016) and the chance of skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby in cesarean section was 8% lower than natural delivery (p=0.001).
Conclusion: The results of the present study show that the skin contact between mother and baby was relatively good and breastfeeding was good. Considering the relationship between skin contact between mother and baby and delivery method, it is suggested to plan suitable interventions to increase skin contact coverage and breastfeeding in the first hour after childbirth, especially in cesarean deliveries.
