Abstract:
Evidence-based practice is the cornerstone of clinical decision-making, essential for IBCLCs and lactation supporters to provide culturally effective and up-to-date breastfeeding care. Recognizing the growing importance of research competence, the IBLCE has expanded the 'research' section of its exam content outline. However, many IBCLCs and lactation supporters are not academics and may lack confidence in critically appraising research papers.
Our presentation aims to bridge this gap.
We will guide you through interpreting and critically appraising research in an approachable and accessible manner, using real-life examples to keep it relevant to your practice. This ensures the topic remains engaging and manageable, even for those who might find it daunting.
Additionally, we will review a selection of recent research papers from the past two years, chosen for their practical application in supporting breastfeeding dyads. Topics may include alternative complementary medicine (such as auricular acupressure, acupressure, and reflexology), dysphoric milk ejection reflex, breast pumps and flanges, supporting women with intellectual disabilities, and the role of social media in breastfeeding
