Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the incidence and duration of breastfeeding in active duty women in the armed forces. A convenience sample chart review of 220 active duty women was chosen. These were women who delivered at a southwestern military medical center between January 1997 through June 1997. Women with multiple gestation, premature deliveries (less than 37 weeks) and maternal/infant complications were excluded from the study. After applying the exclusion criteria, and subtracting the inpatient records not available, and the women who chose bottle-feeding prior to delivery the sample size was 99 women. Data was collected from existing records. The mother's inpatient delivery record provided the demographic data, delivery type, complications and the type of feeding chosen. The type of feeding at discharge was verified by examining the newborn inpatient record. The infant's outpatient record was examined to collect the feeding type at 2, 8, 16, and 24 weeks. The logistic regression performed on the incidence data and demographics revealed marital status as the one variable of statistical significance with a p value of 0.04. The women who were married breastfeed more frequently than those women who were not married. In conclusion, the study provides the incidence of breastfeeding in active duty women and an evaluation of the types of women in the armed forces. Further research needs to be conducted to evaluate the duration of breastfeeding in active duty women to more fully understand if there are services or support that can be provided to help these employed women continue breastfeeding.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, there has been a steady increase in the number of women serving in the United States military. Most women serving on active duty are of childbearing age. The decision to breastfeed while remaining on active duty is an area of potential conflict. While it is well known that full-time employment decreases the incidence and duration of breastfeeding, active duty women may face additional obstacles such as potential deployment, body weight requirements, and hazardous workplace exposures, in addition to problems faced by their civilian counterparts.

Download or read book Barriers and Facilitators of Breasteeding for Primiparous Active Duty Military Mothers: A Qualitative Study written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Active duty military mothers have obligations to the military and their families that do not always balance. Little has been reported about the incidence and duration of breastfeeding in the active duty population. One study cited a breastfeeding initiation rate just under 80 % for active duty women, but most stopped breastfeeding between three to eight weeks postpartum. This descriptive study describes the barriers and facilitators of breastfeeding for primiparous active duty military mothers, from their perspective, using a Husserlian phenomenological approach. A semi-structured interview guide was reviewed by experienced qualitative researchers, and used to guide the interviews. A pilot interview was conducted. Purposive sampling was used to recruit four study participants -active duty military primiparous women- at the Pediatric Clinic of a large medical center on the East coast. After bracketing pre-existing assumptions and knowledge, interviewing began. The participants were encouraged to divulge the factors that influenced their decision to feed their infant. Analysis of the data began as it was collected. The transcripts of the interviews was reviewed several times to uncover themes or essences and essential relationships. Learning the motivators that influence active duty military women to breastfeed or not to breastfeed may lead to interventions that may potentially increase the initiation and duration of breastfeeding in primiparous active duty military mothers. The overall theme was support. Other themes were going back to work, and continuation or discontinuation of breastfeeding.

This book was released on 1998-01-15 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. military personnel are required to adhere to standards of body composition, fitness, and appearance to achieve and maintain readiness--that is, the maintenance of optimum health and performance so they are ready for deployment at any moment. In 1992, the Committee on Military Nutrition Research reviewed the existing standards and found, among other things, that the standards for body composition required for women to achieve an appearance goal seemed to conflict with those necessary to ensure the ability to perform many types of military tasks. This report addresses that conflict, and reviews and makes recommendations about current policies governing body composition and fitness, as well as postpartum return-to-duty standards, Military Recommended Dietary Allowances, and physical activity and nutritional practices of military women to determine their individual and collective impact on the health, fitness, and readiness of active-duty women.

This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. military has been continuously engaged in foreign conflicts for over two decades. The strains that these deployments, the associated increases in operational tempo, and the general challenges of military life affect not only service members but also the people who depend on them and who support them as they support the nation â€" their families. Family members provide support to service members while they serve or when they have difficulties; family problems can interfere with the ability of service members to deploy or remain in theater; and family members are central influences on whether members continue to serve. In addition, rising family diversity and complexity will likely increase the difficulty of creating military policies, programs and practices that adequately support families in the performance of military duties. Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society examines the challenges and opportunities facing military families and what is known about effective strategies for supporting and protecting military children and families, as well as lessons to be learned from these experiences. This report offers recommendations regarding what is needed to strengthen the support system for military families.

Download or read book Parenting Matters written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

Book excerpt: As U.S. military forces appear overcommitted and some ponder a possible return to the draft, the timing is ideal for a review of how the American military transformed itself over the past five decades, from a poorly disciplined force of conscripts and draft-motivated "volunteers" to a force of professionals revered throughout the world. Starting in the early 1960s, this account runs through the current war in Iraq, with alternating chapters on the history of the all-volunteer force and the analytic background that supported decisionmaking. The author participated as an analyst and government policymaker in many of the events covered in this book. His insider status and access offer a behind-the-scenes look at decisionmaking within the Pentagon and White House. The book includes a foreword by former Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird. The accompanying DVD contains more than 1,700 primary-source documents-government memoranda, Presidential memos and letters, staff papers, and reports-linked directly from citations in the electronic version of the book. This unique technology presents a treasure trove of materials for specialists, researchers, and students of military history, public administration, and government affairs to draw upon.

Download or read book An Investment Framework for Nutrition written by Meera Shekar and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2017-04-24 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Investment Framework for Nutrition: Reaching the Global Targets for Stunting, Anemia, Breastfeeding, and Wasting estimates the costs, impacts, and financing scenarios to achieve the World Health Assembly global nutrition targets for stunting, anemia in women, exclusive breastfeeding and the scaling up of the treatment of severe wasting among young children. To reach these four targets, the world needs US$70 billion over 10 years to invest in high-impact nutrition-specific interventions. This investment would have enormous benefits: 65 million cases of stunting and 265 million cases of anemia in women would be prevented in 2025 as compared with the 2015 baseline. In addition, at least 91 million more children would be treated for severe wasting and 105 million additional babies would be exclusively breastfed during the first six months of life over 10 years. Altogether, achieving these targets would avert at least 3.7 million child deaths. Every dollar invested in this package of interventions would yield between US$4 and US$35 in economic returns, making investing in early nutrition one of the best value-for-money development actions. Although some of the targets—especially those for reducing stunting in children and anemia in women—are ambitious and will require concerted efforts in financing, scale-up, and sustained commitment, recent experience from several countries suggests that meeting these targets is feasible. These investments in the critical 1000-day window of early childhood are inalienable and portable and will pay lifelong dividends—not only for children directly affected but also for us all in the form of more robust societies—that will drive future economies.
