“…The results of the study show that many mothers have heard about EBF, yet only 40.5% of the mothers correctly identified the duration of EBF. This is greater than the Nigerian states of Kano (23.4%) ( 14 ) and Edo (33.2%) ( 11 ) that were previously reported. The increase in knowledge on EBF that was seen in the current study may be related to the ongoing governmental and other organizational activities that have raised awareness and knowledge on this issue.…”

“…In the current study, only 26.8% of mothers in the studied area practiced EBF. While this value is higher than the national figure of 17% stated by the 2013 Nigeria Demographic Health Survey ( 11 ), it is less than the EBF result in Kano State (70.0%) ( 14 ) and Sokoto State (31.0%) ( 15 ), but slightly higher than the one reported by earlier studies in Edo State (20.9%) ( 11 ) and Osun State (19.0%) ( 41 ). The study in Kano was conducted among health care workers, which explains the wide variation in EBF practice observed between Kano and the present study.…”

“…Although the exact rate of EBF in Jigawa state has not yet been reported, in Kano, its neighboring state, only 18.6% of mothers exclusively breastfed their babies ( 3 ), and 58% of children younger than 5 years old were underweight ( 13 ). Additionally, factors associated with EBF practice in Nigeria were respondents’ level of knowledge, professional category, having an older infant, and vaginal birth ( 12 , 14–16 ). Other causes of poor EBF practice were geographical variations ( 12 ), traditional beliefs, practices, and customs ( 10 ), place of delivery ( 12 , 17 ), mothers’ attitudes toward EBF ( 11 , 18 , 19 ), and poor hospital and healthcare practices and policies ( 20 ).…”

BackgroundThe American Academy of Pediatrics and the World Health Organization recommend exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for up to 6 months. Despite the importance of breast milk, EBF is far less prevalent in Nigeria than is recommended for developing countries. Worse still, the odds of EBF practice are very low in rural communities. Hence, the aim of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of EBF as well as identify the factors associated with EBF practice among mothers of childbearing age in Chamo town, Jigawa State, Nigeria.MethodsThe study is a cross-sectional design using a questionnaire to assess the required information. The methodology involved the use of simple random sampling to select mothers of reproductive age from Chamo town, which is a rural community located in Jigawa State, Nigeria. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to assess the mother’s knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding EBF. Simple and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the factors associated with the practice of EBF.ResultsA total of 400 mothers between the ages of 18 and 41 took part in the study. More than half of the participants (57.8%) were between the ages of 26 and 33 and had a primary level of education (30.5%). Only 26.8% of the respondents practice EBF. Those with a tertiary education (AOR = 10.00, p < 0.001), civil servants (AOR = 12.51, p < 0.001), those aware of EBF (AOR = 3.65, p = 0.002), those with correct EBF knowledge (AOR = 4.61, p < 0.001), those with a positive attitude toward EBF demand (AOR = 0.51, p = 0.050), and those who received encouragement from their community (AOR = 9.87, p < 0.001) were more likely to practice EBF.ConclusionThe findings of the study revealed that the majority of the respondents’ knowledge, attitude, and practice of EBF were minimal. This shows the need to step up efforts to educate mothers about the advantages of EBF for both their own health and that of their children while they are in the hospital recovering from childbirth.

Objective: To understand healthcare professionals’ perception of best practices in maternal and child health. Materials and methods: This qualitative exploratory-descriptive study was conducted between December 2020 and March 2021. The study corpus consisted of 23 healthcare professionals from southern Brazil. Data were collected using a semi-structured script and coded based on Minayo’s thematic content analysis proposed. Results: Data analysis enabled the delimitation of two thematic categories: “best practices in maternal and child health: from idealization to accomplishment” and “strategies to qualify the maternal and child healthcare network.” Conclusions: Healthcare professionals recognize the relevance of best practices in maternal and child health, although this process must be expanded and consolidated. Continuing education, hospitality, ambiance, improved access, and the professional-user connection stand out among the qualifying strategies.

“…That is, respondents' satisfaction is proportional to the degree of fulfillment of this demand. 21 It can be seen from Table 3 that the item with the highest SI value is "create a good classroom atmosphere" (0.86), indicating that student satisfaction will be increased by 86% after creating a good classroom atmosphere, while the item with the highest DSI value is "good teacher ethics and style" (0.80), indicating that if this service is ignored, patient satisfaction will decrease by 80%. The matrix diagram is plotted based on each entry's satisfaction and importance results.…”

Objectives: To investigate the satisfaction of the undergraduate nursing classroom teaching quality based on the Kano model and provide a reference for improving the overall quality of educational services. Methods: A total of 621 sophomores and juniors of nursing at Hubei University of Medicine were selected to conduct questionnaires based on the Kano model using convenient sampling. Results: The 16 items are all a one-dimensional factor. The satisfaction and importance are 0.77 to 0.86 and −0.58 to −0.80, respectively. In the quadrant analysis chart, there are four items in the dominant area, three items for improvement, three in the observation area, and six in the retention area. Conclusion: Analyzing the satisfaction of nursing undergraduates’ classroom teaching quality can help us effectively understand the intrinsic needs of students and improve the overall quality of nursing undergraduates’ curriculum teaching services.
