Background: The six-month exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) rate almost halved between 2009 and 2013 in Northeast Thailand for no clear reason. Specific facilitators and barriers to six-month EBF have been identified for Thailand, but mothers’ views on these factors to continuing EBF breastfeeding until six months have not been explored in this region. Aim: This study aimed to prioritize mothers’ views on the identified facilitators and barriers of continuing six-month exclusive breastfeeding. Methods: Q-methodology was applied. This research was conducted at Well Baby Out-Patient Department of Khonkaen Hospital, Numphong Hospital and a private hospital. Thirty-four mothers, who had recently delivered infants aged between four and six months, were breastfeeding/had breastfed, were 20 to 40 years old, participated. Demographic data were analysed descriptively, and Q-method analysis was conducted using the PQ Method software 2.35. Results: There was consensus that having knowledge about the advantages of EBF was the most important facilitator of six-month EBF, and ‘not having any other responsibilities besides caring for her infant’ was the least important facilitator of six-month EBF. Three viewpoints emerged identifying different groups/clusters of mothers, namely, (1) caring for self, (2) requiring support and (3) breastfeeding knowledge. Conclusions: Despite some consensus among participants, three distinct viewpoints emerged regarding which facilitators and barriers were important to mothers. It is clear that a programme to improve the six-month EBF rate in Northeast Thailand would need to incorporate interventions or activities that address the different viewpoints identified.

BACKGROUND Childhood heart failure is a factor in many hospital admissions each year. It can impose a steep learning curve for parents who need to learn the key information to care for their child at home. In this study, we conducted an environmental scan to identify and assess web-based knowledge translation tools about childhood heart failure for parent audiences developed within North America. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to inventory tool publicly available to parents about childhood heart failure from popular web-based venues, and assess each how each tool communicates health information and explore how they were developed. METHODS Modelled after previously published environmental scan methods, our search strategy included searching two popular internet-based venues including: 1) two App stores (Google PlayTM and Apple AppTM) and 2) GoogleTM search. Common search terms were used and results were uploaded to Microsoft Excel for screening amongst two reviewers. Inclusion criteria included: 1) content primarily focused on educating parents about their child’s heart failure, 2) English language, and 3) tools originated within North American. Two reviewers screened the application (app) store and internet search results for relevant tools. Each tool was assessed using the Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM), a validated tool that objectively assesses the literacy of health information for a particular audience. Key informants who were involved in the tool development were invited for a qualitative interview using semi structured interview guide to provide more adjunct data about the development process. Frequencies were reported to summarize App and Internet screening and SAM rating results. Key themes were identified in the semi-structured interview process. RESULTS No applications exist for parents relating to pediatric heart failure. Seventeen relevant internet tools were identified, and their suitability was assessed for the parent audience. The tools scored well in the layout and type but lower in the readability and graphics scores. Qualitative interviews with key informants revealed three key themes: 1) timely & introductory knowledge, 2) credible & trustworthy knowledge, and 3) challenges & evolution in knowledge. CONCLUSIONS This is the first environmental scan looking for parent tool relating to childhood heart failure. Findings from this study reveal that no tools scored in the superior range using the Suitability of Materials Assessment and that further work in the area of knowledge translation targeting parents needs to be done to provide effective education for this parent population. These findings will inform the development of a new resource on children’s heart failure. CLINICALTRIAL Not applicable

Background. Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is the gold standard of infant feeding practice which lasts up to 6 months postpartum. Not all infants are exclusively breastfed in developing countries, including Ethiopia. This study, therefore, assessed the magnitude and determining factors of EBF cessation practice among mothers at University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia. Method. Institutional-based cross-sectional study design using a systematic random sampling technique was applied to select 344 mothers of infants aged 9 months came for measles vaccination. Pretested structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data were entered, cleaned, and analyzed by using SPSS version 21. Independent variables with a P value of <0.05 indicated association. Result. The magnitude of cessation of EBF was 21.5% with 95% CI (17.24-25.76). Maternal age ≤ 19 years [AOR=5.53; 95% CI (1.07-28.57)], civil servants [AOR=4.73; 95% CI (2.20-10.19)], illiterate husbands [AOR=3.76; 95% CI (1.13-12.49)], primi-para [AOR=2.42; 95% CI (1.22-4.79)], no postnatal follow up [AOR=2.62; 95% CI (1.44-4.80)], and having poor knowledge on breastfeeding benefits and composition of breastmilk [AOR=3.15; 95% CI (1.56-6.35)] were independent factors significantly associated with cessation of EBF. Conclusion and recommendation. The magnitude of cessation of EBF was high. Maternal age, parity, employment status, postnatal follow-up, and breastfeeding knowledge as well as spouse literacy level were independent factors significantly associated with cessation of EBF. Our study provides further impetus for empowering young and primi-para with breastfeeding knowledge, an extension of maternity leave time, and support for breastfeeding at the workplace.

Abstract Background: Breastfeeding is considered the optimal infant feeding method with numerous benefits for both mother and infant. This study aims to assess breastfeeding Knowledge and determine barriers to exclusive breastfeeding among mothers attending the Primary Health Care Centers in Jazan City. The scope of this research is to suggest a strategy for encouraging mothers in Jazan for the crucial needs for exclusive breastfeeding and overcoming the barriers of breastfeeding.Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study that included all mothers attending the PHC center. Data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire. SPSS was used for data analysis using the student T-test and ANOVA Test.Results: Most study participants understand breastfeeding's health benefits for babies and mothers, but most believe that synthetic milk is the best alternative for working mothers' to feed their babies. 66.7% of mothers practiced exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of the child's life, and only 28.9% continued exclusive breastfeeding for six months. During the first six months of the child's life, exclusive breastfeeding shows a significant relationship with breastfeeding knowledge and barriers. Sixty percent of mothers have ever had any information about breastfeeding; those who knew the primary source were from their mothers and only 31.4% from hospital staff. Most of the respondents did not agree with the statements given to them as exclusive breastfeeding barriers, which grabs attention to an unexpected response.Conclusions: Most participants have good knowledge concerning breastfeeding benefits for both the mother and infants and disagreed on the mentioned barriers for exclusive breastfeeding that include lack of breastmilk, feel of Fatigue and tiredness, High household burdens, Father does not encourage breastfeeding, use of birth contraception, embarrassment of breastfeeding in public and in front of family members, lack of information and sufficient support and guidance on the importance of B.F., working conditions, bad smell of the nursing mother, transmission of diseases from mother to the child. Health care professionals should actively work hard to encourage mothers, raise their awareness and find the root cause for low exclusive breastfeeding practice rates.

 Assess, Redress, Re-assess: Addressing Disparities in Respiratory Health Among First Nations is an ongoing community-based participatory research initiative involving two First Nations communities in Saskatchewan. The initiative’s rationale is grounded in the ethos of transformative community-based participatory research and facilitated through integrated knowledge translation with the aim of building community capacity. The initiative’s goal was to engage community members to actively participate in all research phases, from the development of the research questions to dissemination of results and evaluation of community-chosen interventions that evolved from the results. After baseline assessment of predictors and indicators of respiratory health, a program of integrated knowledge translation was adopted. As part of this program, a community-researcher collaboration was put in place that produced two knowledge translation symposia. The two symposia have brought together First Nations community members, interdisciplinary researchers, federal and provincial policy makers, and multiple Aboriginal organizational stakeholders. The symposia provided a pathway for knowledge synthesis and sharing to ultimately integrate knowledge into practice and enable First Nations’ community capacity building in addressing and redressing critical respiratory health issues. This article delineates the processes involved in developing this model of integrated knowledge translation and highlights the continuing engagement with the participating communities supported by Knowledge Translation (KT) Symposia.
