Tóm tắt : | Background: Social media posts that violate the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes (the Code) may influence societal opinions, views, attitudes, behaviours, and beliefs about breastfeeding, including among healthcare personnel who provide services to breastfeeding women and infants. Aims: To investigate the literacy of healthcare personnel at Ankara Hacettepe University Hospitals, Türkiye, about the Code and their selection of social media posts about breastfeeding, after completing a breastfeeding counselling course. Methods: This study included healthcare personnel who completed 2 breastfeeding counselling courses conducted at Hacettepe University in October 2018 and July 2019. They were asked to search for breast milk and breastfeeding on their favourite social media platforms, select 2–4 posts that attracted them, and evaluate the posts to know if they were supportive of breastfeeding. The counselling course facilitators assessed their responses. Results: Twenty-seven nurses and 40 medical doctors participated in the study; 85.0% of them were female. The participants selected 82 (34%) posts from Instagram, 22 (9.1%) from Facebook, 4 (1.7%) from YouTube, and 134 (55.2%) from other social media platforms. The most common themes of the posts were benefits of breast milk, methods of giving breast milk, and use of infant formula instead of breast milk. The contents of the media were 68.2% (n = 165) favourable and 31.0% (n = 75) unfavourable to breastfeeding. The inter-rater reliability between the participants and facilitators was almost perfect (k coefficient 0.83). Conclusion: Sustainable support is needed in Türkiye to increase literacy among healthcare personnel about social media posts that violate the Code, especially those working at baby-friendly hospitals and those who care for breastfeeding mothers. |
