Objective:
To assess the pragmatic adequacy of the Interactive Theory of Breastfeeding based on the Fawcett's Model.
Method:
Theoretical study, according to evaluation criteria proposed by Fawcett. The six questions suggested in the model were used, answered based on searches in scientific literature, consultation in legislation supporting nursing professional practice and information from the authors of the theory.
Results:
It was observed that during their training, Nurses acquire skills for care, but clinical management focused on breastfeeding should be emphasized. Since its creation, the theory has been applied in an ascending manner, proving its application in clinical practice to be viable. The existence of laws and resolutions guarantee clinical nurses the legal support necessary to develop a practice based on the Interactive Theory of Breastfeeding.
Conclusion:
The pragmatic adequacy of the theory was observed, showing that the Interactive Theory of Breastfeeding subsidizes a care directed at the mother and child binomial, supporting the nurse in their decision-making, contributing to the protection, promotion, and support of breastfeeding.
