Title
Breast Care Interventions to Enhance Breast Milk Production in Post-Caesarean Mothers: A Study at Ir. Soekarno Hospital, Sukoharjo
Subject
Cesarean Section, Breast Milk, Breast Care
Description
Background: Cesarean section is a surgical procedure involving incisions in
the abdomen and uterus to deliver a baby. Breastfeeding obstacles that
occur in post-section cesarean mothers are caused by surgical pain that
affects the mother's comfort and can inhibit the pituitary glandula nerves
that produce the hormone oxytocin, which plays a role in the breastfeeding
process. Breast care refers to interventions aimed at facilitating breast milk
production. These interventions can be beneficial both prenatally and
postnatally. Objective: This study aims to describe the impact of breast care
on breast milk flow in mothers who have undergone cesarean section at Ir.
Soekarno Hospital, Sukoharjo District. Method: A descriptive case study
approach was employed, involving two respondents. Pre-test and post-test
assessments were conducted using an observation sheet to evaluate breast
milk flow based on 10 specific indicators. Results: Both respondents
exhibited suboptimal breast milk flow before breast care interventions.
Following the interventions, both respondents demonstrated significant
improvements, achieving optimal breast milk flow. Conclusion: The findings
indicate a notable enhancement in breast milk flow among the respondents
after receiving breast care, suggesting the efficacy of such interventions in
supporting lactation.
