Abstract

Breastfeeding is a fundamental and biologically normal function with well-established benefits for both lactating parents and infants. Despite these benefits, physicians, particularly those in training, often face significant obstacles when attempting to meet their breastfeeding and pumping goals. In response to these challenges, the American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) and a diverse group of health care professionals have come together to advocate for comprehensive lactation support policies in medical learning environments and workplaces. This position article highlights the ethical necessity of comprehensive lactation support in medical educational and workplace settings, emphasizing the importance of not only providing physical accommodations but also fostering a cultural shift, educational initiatives, and policy reforms to empower lactating parents. It offers an examination of the difficulties encountered by lactating parents within medical environments and proposes guidelines for the formulation and enhancement of supportive policies. The position article envisions a future where medical professionals can thrive in both their careers and parenthood through collaborative efforts and a commitment to the key elements of Effective Lactation Support Programs in medical workplaces based on the following: (1) well-equipped lactation facilities, (2) customized work schedules, (3) mentorship and support networks, (4) lactation support in clinical settings, and (5) research and advocacy.

哺乳期、母乳喂养期或胸部哺乳期的医生和未来医生的权利:美国女医务人员协会立场文章。
母乳喂养是一项基本的生理正常功能,对哺乳父母和婴儿都有公认的好处。尽管有这些益处,但医生,尤其是正在接受培训的医生,在尝试实现母乳喂养和泵奶目标时,往往会遇到重大障碍。为了应对这些挑战,美国女医务人员协会(AMWA)和一群不同的医疗保健专业人士共同倡导在医疗学习环境和工作场所实施全面的哺乳支持政策。这篇立场文章强调了在医学教育和工作场所提供全面哺乳支持的道德必要性,强调了不仅要提供实际便利,还要促进文化转变、教育倡议和政策改革,以增强哺乳期父母的能力。文章探讨了哺乳期父母在医疗环境中遇到的困难,并提出了制定和加强支持政策的指导方针。这篇立场文章设想了一个未来,在这个未来里,医务人员可以通过合作努力,并致力于在医疗工作场所实施有效的母乳喂养支持计划的关键要素,从而在事业和为人父母方面都取得成功,这些要素基于以下几点:(1)设备齐全的哺乳设施,(2)量身定制的工作日程,(3)导师和支持网络,(4)临床环境中的哺乳支持,以及(5)研究和宣传。
