Résumé : |
Introduction: Breastfeeding (BF) duration remains problematic, especially among women returning to work. Given that use of workplace lactation support programs has not gained traction in improving BF duration, there appears to be elements missing from lactation support initiatives that need further exploration. The field of Implementation Science, in explaining organizational behavior, provides an opportunity to inform a better model for workplace BF support.
Materials and Methods: To inform a new model for workplace lactation support, data from the Breastfeeding and Employment Study (BESt) were combined with Implementation Climate theory. BESt surveyed companies on their BF supports, and used hierarchical linear modeling to determine the association of those supports with company employee perceptions of and manager attitudes toward BF supports. Results: Employee scores were not associated with any company scores. Total company scores were associated with more positive manager attitudes (p Conclusions: Implementation strategies will vary with the diversity of workplaces and how they function. A better understanding of the application of implementation climate for workplace lactation support will help tailor programs and their implementation to improve BF duration in employed women.
