| Summary: | Objective: To identify the existing literature on mothers’ perception towards the impact of
expressing breast milk for their premature infant in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Method: Guided by the PRISMA Statement review checklist, a systematic review of the
Scopus and Web of Science database has identified 10 related studies. The articles were
assessed and analysed after evaluated using The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal
tools (JBI). Thematic analysis was obtained after using Nvivo software as a tool for data
analysis by author.
Result: Further review of these articles resulted in four main themes— maternal changes
during expressing breast milk, pumping challenges and impact of motivation factors to
initiating lactation.
Conclusion: Expressing breast milk should be recognized as an important way to restructure
motherhood with a preterm infant in NICU. However, maintaining expressed breast milk
during preterm infants’ treatment period in NICU may increase stress and difficulties for
some mothers. Some recommendations are emphasized in relation to the need for more
qualitative studies in this issue, which is to have a specific and standard systematic review
method for guide research synthesis in context of climate change adaptation. |
