Implication

Qualitative study explores challenges and intentions of lactating nursing students, highlighting social support deficiencies.

Key Points

  • Almost all lactating nursing students intended to breastfeed their babies, despite facing significant challenges.
  • Participants identified a lack of social support, particularly from lecturers, affecting their breastfeeding experiences.
  • Stress from coursework and increased living costs due to nannies created barriers to effective breastfeeding.
  • The study calls for a breastfeeding support policy to ensure the rights of lactating nursing mothers are upheld.
