Introduction: The percentage of working women with children under the age of 3 has nearly doubled since the 1970s, elevating the importance of understanding and improving workplace lactation support. This study aimed to examine employee perceptions of and experiences with workplace lactation support within a single health care system. We used a socioecological approach and included the views of a broad range of employees with and without lactation experience to capture diverse perspectives at multiple levels. Materials and Methods: Employees were recruited from an integrated health care system in the southeastern United States. Five focus groups were conducted during June to August 2017. Transcripts were analyzed using qualitative content analysis, with key themes organized at four levels of analysis: individual, interpersonal, departmental, and organizational. Results: Thirty-five clinical and nonclinical employees participated. Employees shared varied perspectives on workplace lactation support, which emphasized the: (1) importance of having a lactation policy, (2) critical role of leadership in setting the tone for workplace lactation, and (3) differential experience between clinical and non-clinical lactating employees. Conclusion: Employee experiences with lactation support in the health care setting are influenced by individual, interpersonal, departmental, and organizational factors that must be considered in the design of effective workplace lactation support programs. Policies and programs that align with organizational values and accommodate the needs of employees in varying roles are recommended. By using a socioecological perspective, this study identifies practical strategies for implementing, improving, and sustaining workplace lactation support across multiple levels of a large health care organization.

介绍:
自1970年代以来,育有3岁以下孩子的职业妇女的比例几乎翻了一番,这提高了理解和改善工作场所哺乳支持的重要性。这项研究旨在检查员工对单一医疗体系内工作场所哺乳支持的看法和经验。我们使用了一种社会生态学方法,并纳入了有或没有哺乳经验的广泛员工的观点,以从多个层面捕捉不同的观点。
材料和方法:
员工是从美国东南部的综合医疗保健系统招募的。在2017年6月至2017年8月期间,进行了五个焦点小组会议。使用定性内容分析法对成绩单进行了分析,主要主题分为四个分析级别进行了组织:个人,人际,部门和组织。
结果:
35名临床和非临床雇员参加了会议。员工对工作场所的哺乳支持有不同的看法,其中强调:(1)制定泌乳政策的重要性;(2)领导在设定工作场所哺乳基调中的关键作用;(3)临床与非临床之间的差异经验哺乳期的员工。
结论:
员工在医疗保健机构中使用哺乳支持的经验受个人,人际,部门和组织因素的影响,在设计有效的工作场所哺乳支持计划时必须考虑这些因素。建议采用与组织价值观相一致并适应不同角色的员工需求的政策和计划。通过使用社会生态学的观点,本研究确定了在大型卫生保健组织的多个级别上实施,改善和维持工作场所泌乳支持的实用策略。
