Breastfeeding knowledge, attitudes and training amongst Australian community pharmacists.
Breastfeeding Review : Professional Publication of the Nursing Mothers' Association of Australia 2016 July
INTRODUCTION: Pharmacists are one of the most accessible and trusted professionals in the Australian health care system and can have a large impact in supporting and encouraging breastfeeding.
AIM: This study aimed to research the knowledge, attitudes and training satisfaction of Australian pharmacists in the area of infant nutrition and breastfeeding.
DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: The mixed method study involved quantitative data collection via an online survey and qualitative data collected via separate semi-structured interviews. All registered pharmacists in the Australian Capital Territory and surrounding regional areas were eligible. Participants were recruited via emailed information sheets and individual onsite recruitment.
KEY FINDINGS: Positive attitudes towards and a desire to support and advocate for breastfeeding by pharmacists were hampered by a lack of knowledge, confidence, training and education.
CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE IMPLICATIONS: Government or other non-profit organisations can enhance community-based support for breastfeeding, including developing new education and training programs for pharmacy students and pharmacists.
