Abstract
Purpose: An exploratory, descriptive study aimed at knowing the perceptions of nurses on breastfeeding by imprisoned women, and to perform a deep analysis of factors influencing practical issues and support for imprisoned women and the attitudes of health workers on breastfeeding.
Methods: The survey was carried out in a women jail at Dóchas Centre, in July 2014. Six health workers were interviewed and their answers were thematically analyzed.
Results: Imprisoned women reported they went to prison after maternity with no breastfeeding being performed, which seems to reflect present status of breastfeeding in Irish society.
Conclusions: Although a Maternal and Child Unit and a health team are available, breastfeeding is not a usual practice in the facilities.
Keywords:
