Utvärdering av uppföljningssamtal hos ammande förstföderskor

Abstract

In order to investigate the importance of recurrent dialogue between primipara mothers (choosing early home going) and staff and its influence on the total time of breastfeeding and possible effects on the frequency of breastfeeding problems, a follow-up study based on interviews was made. The investigation concerned a total of 274 primipara mothers in three groupings at Danderyd's hospital 1992–93. To complement the interviews, data from the hospital journals were added. The test group (n=95) had chosen “Early homegoing” and was followed up with 6–8 telephone calls with a specific questionnaire. The mothers in control group 1 (n=95) had also chosen “Early homegoing” and were contacted one time for interview. The women in control group 2 (n=84) had chosen traditional aftercare at the hospital clinic and were contacted one time for questioning. The selection process was made up by systematic standard procedure as was the character of the questionnaire used. It could be determined that repeated contact from the staff did not have any significant positive influence on the time (in months) of breastfeeding. Nor did it effect the frequency of milkstocking between the groups. Early complement of food portions did however reduce the time of breastfeeding in all three groups. The frequency of milkstockings in the investigation group usually occurred during the first three months after delivery.
