dc.description.abstract | Background: The migratory flows in Spain have changed due to the arrival of a diverse migrant population.
Among the new migrants the Latino collective predominate with more than half being women of childbearing
age. There are no previous studies exploring breastfeeding experiences of migrants in a country where their
mother tongue is spoken. This study aimed to explore Latina migrants’ breastfeeding experiences in a Spanish speaking country.
Methods: A descriptive qualitative study was carried out in the main province in southern Andalusia between
November 2019 and June 2020. The study used intentional sampling. The study participants were contacted by
video calls and data were collected through a semi-structured in-depth interview (n = 19). The interviews were
transcribed and analysed by thematic analysis.
Results: The nineteen participants were aged between 22 and 43 years old and came from six different countries in
Latin America. The two main categories that emerged were breastfeeding facilitators and barriers, divided into ten
interrelated sub-categories: working conditions; precarious socioeconomic conditions; lack of support (health
professionals, family and society); physiological changes, pain and fatigue; ignorance and wrong beliefs; support
networks (partner, health professionals and family); host country versus home country; religious practices/worship;
appropriate attitude, knowledge and experience; and breastfeeding support groups. Most of the study participants
stated that their breastfeeding experiences were influenced by barriers such as work and by facilitators such as peer
support.
Conclusions: More support from caregivers and more sensitivity to cultural diversity were demanded by the
women and well-trained professionals are needed to enable breastfeeding for a longer time. This paper provides
caregivers, such as nurses, more knowledge about the care demanded by migrant women to ensure a longer
breastfeeding experience. | es |
