Midwife care for a woman during lactation
KRYGLOVÁ, Aneta
The bachelor thesis deals with the midwife´s care of a woman during Lactation. It is divided into a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part contains information about the anatomy of the breast, lactation, the composition of mother´s milk and its benefits, the principles of proper breastfeeding, difficulties and problems with breastfeeding, breastfeeding support, and finally the cessation of lactation. For the practical part of the bachelor thesis the main aim was to find out what problems women most often face during lactation. Three research questions were set out to detremine this aim. The first research question dealt with where women most often seek help in the event of a breastfeeding problem. The second research question investigates women´s experiences with midwife care in connection with lactation, and the third research question adressed what knowledge and information women lacked. The practical part of the bachelor thesis was done by a qulitative research investigation in the form of individual semi-structured interviews. The research group consisted of ten women who were breastfeeding and had finished their puerperium. All women gave verbal consent to the interview and to its recording on a dictaphone. The women also agreed to the subsequent processing of the information obtained. The research survey took place from February to April 2022. Interviews with women consisted of twenty main questions, which were supplemented by supplementary questions in order to obtain more detailed information. The interviews were subsequently transcribed and analyzed. For data evaluation main categories and subcategories were determined, which are described in the research part of the bachelor thesis. Three categories and fourteen subcategories were created. The results of this bachelor thesis can be used by professional seminars and as informational material for midwifes who, based on our results, can change their attitude towards women and education in the field of lactation.
