The impact of problematic breastfeeding on woman's psyche
MELÁNOVÁ, Hana
The Bachelor thesis deals with the issue of breastfeeding and consequential complications in connection with women's psyche. The theoretical part consists of two main areas. In the first one the physiology of lactation is described, the principles of initiation of breastfeeding after a birth so as to ensure the optimal start and further course of lactation and also the most common problems that may occur during breastfeeding. The second area focuses on the psyche of women after childbirth and deals with the psychological disorders. The research part of the Bachelor's thesis dealt with the experience of women with problematic breastfeeding in relation to their body. There were set two basic objectives. The first one was to determine the impact of the problem with breastfeeding on the psyche of women and the second one was to find out, whom women solve problems with breastfeeding with. Two research questions came out of these two goals. The first examined the manner how breastfeeding problems affect the psyche of women. The second, with whom women address the problem of breastfeeding and where they usually seek for help. For the implementation of the research investigation was used the method of qualitative research investigation. Data collection was carried out by a structured interview. The content analysis was performed, then the processing of the acquired data was made by categorization. The answers of respondents were arranged in one category (The way of Nutrition-Breastfeeding) and 8 subcategories (the choice of the way of nutrition, family, Opinion, women's Awareness, a preparation for breastfeeding, a breastfeeding, an access to Course/PA, breastfeeding problems, feelings of women). The most important fact were processed for clarity to diagrams and categorization tables. In the description of results direct testimony of respondents were used. Research file consists of women in a period of 6 months after childbirth, where problems with breastfeeding appeared. All 8 women voluntarily agreed to participate in this research. The talks took place in the domestic environment of women in the agreed time during the March 2015. The women came from the District of Strakonice, Prachatice and Písek. From the research investigation it is obvious that women are aware of the benefits that breastfeeding brings and therefore they prefer breastfeeding as the best way of a child's nutrition. But the preparation for breastfeeding is often underestimated already in the pregnancy, thus women are not prepared to any complications. This work showed that the psychology of women after childbirth is very fragile and problematic breastfeeding, when mothers cannot adequately and fully feed their babies with breast milk, is a situation that has a negative impact on their mental state. Women almost identically felt that as their failure, which was accompanied by disappointment, sadness, hopelessness, exhaustion, stress, etc. One could say that the rate of psychological problems was directly proportional to the desire for long-term breastfeeding of a child. The interview with respondents revealed several factors that negatively affected the course of lactation as a lack of theoretical and practical training on breastfeeding in pregnancy, information about breastfeeding in women in general, a lack of support from health care professionals in maternity hospitals, exaggerated expectation from nursing women or improper communication with the mothers in case of an assistance in overcoming the difficulties after the release from the hospital and also a lack of support from the family side. The solution lies in particular in the awareness of women and their families, support of self esteem of women during pregnancy, the prevention of potential problems and high-quality breastfeeding advice either in a maternity hospital or in a home environment. When women faced an issue of breastfeeding and looked for help, all of them mentioned they used almost

Lactation consultants in the District of Jindřichův Hradec
HANTOVÁ, Lucie
The title of thesis is Lactational Consultancy in the district of Jindřichův Hradec and this is also the main topic of the thesis ? the meaning of the term and the general principles of becoming a good consultant in the field of brestfeeding. Lactational consultancy is supported by the lactational league and that is why this organization is mentioned in the thesis; it is an independent and non profit-making organization but it is the most important one in the field of this consultancy. The thesis contains also lactational physiology such as anatomy of breast glands and the influence of human hormones on the glans. It also contains the description of mother´s correct nutrition because it is of the same importance in the lactational period. Further chapters are about breastfeeding ? preparation, advantages both for the infant and the mother, the procedure of the first giving the breast to the infant. The following part of the thesis introduces the breastfeeding technique which describes general principles of giving the breast to the infant. The next chapter is about positions used while breastfeeding. But breastfeeding is not only the matter of advantages, principles and positions while breastfeeding. Therefore there is also chapter about breast care in the lactational period. The thesis describes the correct breast hygiene, care after each breastfeeding and also how to massage the breasts. In the course of breastfeeding many various problems may occur; the most important ones are mentioned in the last part but one of the theoretical section of the thesis. Two objectives were set up at the beginning of the thesis, and two hypotheses. One objective was focussed to the level of acquaintance with lactational consultancy among women, the other on the level interest in the service. Hypothesis No. 1 was that women know about the possibility of lactational consultancy and this hypothesis was well supported in the course of us research; thus the objective was completed successfully. The other hypothesis was that women are interested in using lactationaly consultancy. On the basis of the same principle this hypothesis was supported and the objective No. 2 completed. All the data were archieved by anonymous questionnaires which had been submitted to mothers in lactational period at local gynaecologists in policlinics and to pregnant women attending course preparing for birthgiving. The main objective was collect data for founidng a lactational centre or non-stop telephone line in the district of Jindřichův Hradec where such a service is badly missing.
