Abstract

Mnogo je zabluda o pravilnoj prehrani prilikom dojenja, a nedostatak organizirane edukacije za dojilje i zdravstvene radnice dodatno otežava stvaranje preduvjeta za uspješno dojenje. Cilj ovog rada je bio ispitati razinu znanja o prehrani u dojilja i zdravstvenih radnica i prepoznati najčešće zablude o prehrani za vrijeme dojenja te usporediti rezultate ostvarene u ove dvije skupine ispitanica. Korišten je prila gođeni upitnik koji je uključivao pitanja o prehrambenim smjernicama, zabludama o dojenju i prehrani majki. Postignuti rezultati su pokazali da su zdravstveni radnici na 47,8 % pitanja ispravno odgovorili, a dojilje na njih 56,5 %. Zdravstveni radnici su u određenim pitanjima imali manje ispravnih odgovora od dojilja. Neka od pitanja odnosila su se na povećane potrebe za energijom i tekućinom, na prijenos određenih aroma u majčino mlijeko i na specifične prehrambene potrebe dojilja u odnosu na opću po pulaciju. Može se zaključiti da je nužno unaprijediti edukaciju i smjernice za obje skupine ispitanica kako bi se osigurala bolja podrška majkama i djeci te kako bi se povećala stopa dojenja i unaprijedilo zdravlje majki i djece u Hrvatskoj.

Abstract (english)

There are many misconceptions about proper nutrition during breastfeeding, and the lack of organized education for nursing mothers and healthcare workers further complicates the creation of conditions for successful breastfeeding. The aim of this study was to examine the level of knowledge about nutrition among breastfeeding mothers and healthcare workers, identify the most common misconceptions about nutrition during breastfeeding, and compare the results obtained in these two groups of respondents. A customized questionnaire was used, which included questions about dietary guidelines, breastfeeding misconceptions, and the nutritional needs of mothers. The results showed that healthcare workers provided correct answers to 47.8% of the questions, while nursing mothers answered 56.5% correctly. Healthcare workers had fewer correct answers than breastfeeding mothers on certain questions. Some of the questions related to increased energy and fluid needs, the transmis sion of certain flavors into breast milk, and the specific dietary needs of breastfeeding mothers compa red to the general population. It can be concluded that it is necessary to improve education and guide lines for both groups of respondents in order to provide better support for mothers and children and to increase the breastfeeding rate and improve the health of mothers and children in Croatia.
