Abstract

Objective:

To identify practices performed by nurses in the Municipal Health Department of Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, in terms of breastfeeding promotion for pregnant women and/or adolescent mothers.

Method:

A descriptive and qualitative study was conducted with 12 nurses from July to August 2009 by means of semi-structured interviews and observations. The data was analyzed using the content analysis technique.

Results:

We identified the following categories: "Work based on technique as recommended and biological practices", "Role of the Health service in daily care for pregnant women and/or teenage mothers" and "Professional relationship between nurses and pregnant women and/or adolescent mothers". Nurses face the challenge of changing their procedure-based approach and shifting towards a care provision centered on the patient. They express their concern to develop a trusting relationship with pregnant women and/or teenage mothers based on listening and incorporating social and subjective issues.

Conclusion:

It is necessary to continuously train and educate in breastfeeding in order to develop a new profile for nurses capable of providing comprehensive care and meeting the needs of adolescents.
