Abstract

Purpose: To assess the use of gender-identity inclusive language in breastfeeding education materials publicly available on U.S. Hospital websites. Methods: Hospitals were identified through the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists website. Breastfeeding education materials were searched online at each hospital. The first breastfeeding material on each website was used for our evaluation. Gender-identity inclusive versus traditional sexed language terms were curated a priori by referencing the National Institutes of Health and American Psychological Associations' guidelines. Education materials were categorized into: (1) "gender-identity inclusive language," (2) "mix of inclusive and traditional sexed language," or (3) "traditional sexed language." Frequencies of the type of language and specific gender-related terms were calculated. Results: In total, n = 112 hospitals with publicly available breastfeeding education materials were included. Most hospitals used both traditional sexed and inclusive language (69%, n = 77), followed by only traditional language (31%, n = 35). None of the hospitals used solely gender-identity inclusive language. One hospital provided material "intended for LGBTQI+" populations. Conclusion: Education materials provided by hospitals for breastfeeding do not utilize gender-identity inclusive language As such, there remains uncertainty and hesitancy on how to provide appropriate breastfeeding education for all persons who identify as transgender and/or non-binary, yet choose or are able to breastfeed. Further research in this area could ascertain the impacts of using gender-identity inclusive language in breastfeeding education materials for the general, transgender, or non-binary populations.

评估美国医院母乳喂养教育材料中使用的性别包容语言。
目的:评估美国医院网站上公开的母乳喂养教育材料中性别认同包容性语言的使用情况。方法:通过美国妇产科医师学会网站确定医院。在每家医院的网上搜索母乳喂养教育资料。我们使用每个网站上的第一份母乳喂养资料进行评估。通过参考美国国立卫生研究院和美国心理学会的指导原则,我们对性别认同包容性语言术语和传统性别语言术语进行了预先筛选。教育材料被分为:(1) "性别认同包容性语言",(2) "包容性和传统性别语言的混合",或 (3) "传统性别语言"。计算了语言类型和特定性别相关术语的频率。结果:共有 n = 112 家医院公开了母乳喂养教育材料。大多数医院同时使用传统性别语言和包容性语言(69%,n = 77),其次是仅使用传统语言(31%,n = 35)。没有一家医院只使用性别认同包容性语言。一家医院提供了 "针对 LGBTQI+ "人群的材料。结论医院提供的母乳喂养教育材料未使用性别认同包容性语言 因此,如何为所有变性人和/或非二元性身份者提供适当的母乳喂养教育,仍存在不确定性和犹豫不决的问题。该领域的进一步研究可以确定在母乳喂养教育材料中使用性别认同包容性语言对普通人群、变性人或非二元人群的影响。
