Area of Science:
- Qualitative Health Research
- Maternal and Child Health
- Community Health Practices
Context:
- Postpartum period presents challenges for breastfeeding mothers, particularly nipple problems.
- Home-based care practices for nipple issues vary significantly among women.
- Integral Attention to Health centers serve as key points for maternal support.
Purpose:
- To investigate women's home-based practices for resolving postpartum nipple problems.
- To understand the impact of these practices on breastfeeding continuation.
- To identify opportunities for health professional intervention and support.
Summary:
- A qualitative study utilized semi-structured interviews and observation with 14 postpartum women experiencing nipple problems.
- Analysis focused on women's self-care strategies, their consequences, and effects on breastfeeding cessation or continuation.
- Key findings reveal a wide array of products used by women and underscore the importance of community-based knowledge.
Impact:

01:12The Mammary Glands
The female breast is a hemispheric projection of variable size positioned anterior to the pectoralis major and serratus anterior muscles. A fascia layer composed of dense, irregular connective tissue connects it to these muscles.
Each breast features a pigmented projection known as the nipple, through which milk emerges via closely spaced openings of ducts, referred to as lactiferous ducts. Surrounding the nipple is a circular pigmented area of skin named the areola, which appears rough due to...

01:29Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway
Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

01:30Epistaxis
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

01:16Tracheostomy Care I: Pre-procedural Steps
A tracheostomy is a surgical technique that involves making an incision in the neck to provide access to the trachea. It is frequently used in medical conditions such as airway obstruction and prolonged mechanical ventilation. Effective nursing management is crucial for the long-term success of a tracheostomy.

01:29Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula
Oxygen therapy is critical to patient care, especially for those struggling with respiratory issues. This intervention increases the oxygen concentration in the lungs, enhancing the amount of oxygen transported to the body's tissues. One standard method of delivering supplemental oxygen is through a nasal cannula, a non-invasive device that provides low to medium oxygen concentrations.
Nasal Cannulas
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split into two prongs placed in the nostrils, connected...
