Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine perceptions and experiences of women who donate human milk and highlight various aspects of the breast milk donation process.

Study design: A cross-sectional descriptive study.

Methods: An online survey was conducted with a convenience sample of women who donated milk at several milk banks in the United States. A questionnaire of 36 closed and open-ended items were developed and validated by the research team. Descriptive statistics and content analysis were used. Semantic content analysis involved three procedures: coding, categorizing text units, and refining the identified themes.

Results: A total of 236 women who donated breast milk completed the questionnaire. Mean age of participants was 32.7±4.27 and 89.40% were non-Hispanic White women with a bachelor's degree (32.20%) or graduate degree (54.70%). Most participants were women who actively donated breast milk, ranging from one to four times. Two themes, facilitators and barriers of milk donation, were identified. Facilitators to milk donation included attitudes toward milk donation, commitment for donating, motivation in donating, and support. Barriers included personal factors, environment, milk donor process, and psychosocial factors.

Clinical implications: Nurses, health care providers, and lactation professionals should educate women about milk donation resources and opportunities. Strategies to increase awareness about milk donation among underrepresented groups such as women of color are highly recommended. Future research is needed to further explore specific factors that increase milk donation awareness and minimize barriers to potential donors.

母乳捐赠的推动者和障碍。
目的:本研究的目的是检验捐献母乳的女性的观念和经历,并强调母乳捐献过程的各个方面。研究设计:横断面描述性研究。方法:对在美国几家牛奶银行捐赠牛奶的女性进行了一项在线调查。研究小组编制并验证了一份包含36个封闭式和开放式项目的问卷。采用描述性统计和内容分析。语义内容分析涉及三个过程:编码、对文本单元进行分类和细化已识别的主题。结果:共有236名母乳捐献者完成了问卷调查。参与者的平均年龄为32.7±4.27岁,89.40%是拥有学士学位(32.20%)或研究生学位(54.70%)的非西班牙裔白人女性。大多数参与者是积极捐献母乳的女性,从一次到四次不等。确定了两个主题,即牛奶捐赠的促进者和障碍。母乳捐赠的促进者包括对母乳捐赠的态度、捐赠的承诺、捐赠的动机和支持。障碍包括个人因素、环境、牛奶捐赠过程和心理社会因素。临床意义:护士、医疗保健提供者和哺乳专业人员应教育女性母乳捐赠资源和机会。强烈建议采取战略,提高有色人种妇女等代表性不足群体对牛奶捐赠的认识。未来的研究需要进一步探索提高牛奶捐赠意识和最大限度减少潜在捐赠者障碍的具体因素。
