“…COVID-19 and the decreed lockdowns have affected new mother’s mental health. Results of the survey conducted by Hull et al [ 41 ] showed that mothers were experiencing isolation ( n = 31), anxiety or stress ( n = 53), and needing reassurance ( n = 63). As observed in the qualitative reports, mothers’ preoccupations about breastfeeding caused significant anxiety and were related to the belief that breastfeeding could protect their infants against the virus.…”

“…The evidence suggests that health management services must consider the deleterious impact of separating mothers and infants when implementing policies and guidelines [ 25 , 55 ]. Adding to previous knowledge about the impact of separation of mothers and infants and considering the psychological impact of COVID-19 and related restrictions (including separation) on mothers’ mental health, psychological interventions should be incorporated in health-care protocols [ 41 ]. In fact, current guidelines formulated specifically to address the postpartum period during the COVID-19 pandemic strongly recommend the maintenance of breastfeeding practices [ 40 , 57 , 58 ].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the normal course of life, with measures to reduce the virus spread impacting motherhood expectations and, in particular, breastfeeding practices. This study aimed to review evidence regarding the impact of COVID-19 on breastfeeding plans and how these relate to women’s psychological outcomes. Searches were conducted on PubMed and Web of Science for studies in English, Spanish, and Portuguese between January 2020 and January 2021. All study designs and pre-prints were considered. Twelve studies were included. Reports suggest that COVID-19 impacts differently on breastfeeding plans, which in turn leads to distinctive mental health outcomes. Positive breastfeeding experiences have been observed when mothers perceive that they have more time for motherhood, which may be associated with better mental health outcomes. Negative breastfeeding experiences have been observed when mothers are separated from their newborns, when mothers struggle with breastfeeding, or when mothers perceive decreased family and professional support, which seems to be associated with worse mental health outcomes. These preliminary results highlight the need for further research into the association between COVID-19, breastfeeding expectations, and maternal mental health. Filling this gap will foster the development of guidelines and interventions to better support mothers experiencing the obstacles of COVID-19 pandemic.

Resultados: incluíram-se 25 estudos, agrupados em cinco categorias, apresentando a influência da pandemia: na rotina de cuidados ao aleitamento materno, evidenciando medidas preventivas contra COVID-19; nas taxas do aleitamento materno, destacando mudanças nas práticas alimentares; na rede de apoio para o aleitamento materno, apontando falta de assistência de serviços; nas emoções das puérpera, predominando preocupação e estresse; no uso da tecnologia para apoio ao aleitamento materno, com teleatendimento facilitando a assistência.

Background During the most critical phases of COVID-19 pandemic, dramatic situations were experienced in hospitals and care centers that nurses could hardly verbalize. Especially relevant were deep challenges related to terminal illness, situations of extreme sacrifice, as well as reflections on protective measures mixed with beliefs. We intend to analyze which problems had the greatest impact on professionals. Aim The aim is to explore the ultimate basis for action when making decisions and the orientation of their behavior in the face of moral conflicts. Method The methodological strategy is an interpretive synthesis. Narrative review of academic articles that analyzed ethical dilemmas during the pandemic was carried out by searching five databases (Pubmed, Scopus, Psycinfo, CINHAL, and WOS) between January 2020 and December 2022. Finally, 43 articles were selected. Ethical Considerations Ethical requirements were respected in all study phases. Results The reading and review of the 43 articles initiated the first phase of inductive coding which resulted in 14 initial sub-themes. Based on this structure, a second phase of coding was carried out, giving rise to six categories or emerging themes. To facilitate the process of identifying the central category, the authors agreed to carry out a phase of synthesis, grouping the six themes into three meta-themes: the identification and acceptance of human vulnerability; the discovery of positive paradigms in traumatic situations in society; the prevalence of the common good over the particular interest, as the core structure of any society. Conclusion The study has shown the need to consider healthcare benevolence as a new dimension of health care upon global vulnerability. Responsibility is required to ensure the well-being of a global society, prioritizing the common good over particular interests and building solutions on solid moral structures. A new ethical landscape is essential, starting with a humanistic curricular training of all healthcare professionals.
