Summary

Adequate nurse staffing and reduced missed nursing care during labor and birth are linked to higher rates of exclusive breast milk feeding. These findings highlight exclusive breast milk feeding as a key nurse-sensitive outcome in maternity care.

Area of Science:

Maternal and Child Health
Nursing Science
Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

Nursing care quality is crucial for patient and family experiences, particularly during childbirth.
Limited evidence exists on nursing care quality during labor and birth, with few applicable nurse-sensitive outcome indicators for maternity care.
Exclusive human milk feeding initiation during hospitalization is a potential nurse-sensitive outcome in maternity care.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the relationship between nurse-reported staffing, missed nursing care during labor and birth, and exclusive breast milk feeding.
To establish exclusive breast milk feeding as a nurse-sensitive outcome in childbirth hospitalization.

Main Methods:

Utilized 2018 Joint Commission PC-05 Exclusive Breast Milk Feeding rates linked to labor nurse survey data from 184 hospitals.
Nurse-reported staffing measured against Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses guidelines.
Employed bivariate linear regression and generalized structural equation modeling to analyze relationships.

Main Results:

Positive association found between nurse-reported staffing and exclusive breast milk feeding rates.
Negative association found between missed nursing care and exclusive breast milk feeding rates.
Missed skin-to-skin care and delayed breastfeeding (within 1 hour) mediated the link between staffing and feeding rates.

Conclusions:

Hospitals' adherence to recommended nurse staffing guidelines predicts exclusive breast milk feeding rates.
Exclusive breast milk feeding rates are demonstrably a nurse-sensitive outcome in maternity care.
Optimizing nurse staffing and minimizing missed care can improve breastfeeding initiation.
