Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate cases of delayed lactation initiation in women with transvaginal delivery and the influencing factors, in order to provide a basis for effective control of delayed lactation initiation and promotion of breastfeeding.
MethodsInpatients who were admitted to the obstetric ward of Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from November 6, 2020 to January 16, 2021 were selected for the study using convenience sampling method and investigated by general information questionnaire and Chindbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ). Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the factors influencing delayed lactation initiation.
ResultsThe incidence of delayed lactation initiation in 622 women with transvaginal delivery was 38.75% (241/622). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age 20-35 years, full-term delivery, labor and delivery, use of labor analgesia, and good experience of transvaginal delivery were protective factors for delayed lactation initiation (OR values were 0.012 to 0.868, all P<0.05); age >35 years, excessive weight gain during pregnancy, presence of pregnancy complications, use of induction of labor during delivery, long labor process, and damage to perineal skin after delivery were risk factors for delayed lactation initiation (OR values were 1.097 to 13.235, all P<0.05).
ConclusionsThe high incidence of delayed lactation initiation in women with transvaginal delivery is influenced by a number of factors, which reminds the clinic that lactation in women after transvaginal delivery also needs to be taken into account, with priority assessment and prevention for those who are elderly (age≥35 years), primiparous, have other diseases during pregnancy, have gained too much weight during pregnancy, have preterm delivery, have a long duration of labor, have not received labor analgesia, have had a single or combined induction of labor, have had an episiotomy or perineal laceration during labor, and have a poor transvaginal delivery experience.
