Resumen

CABALLERO ORTIZ, Valentín et al. Factors contributing to exclusive breastfeeding discontinuation in a health area . MEDISAN [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.3, pp. 455-461. ISSN 1029-3019.

A longitudinal, prospective, observational and descriptive study was conducted in 40 women, treated at the doctor's office No. 26 of "Josué País García" University Polyclinic in Santiago de Cuba, from January 2011 to the same month of 2012, in order to identify the factors contributing to exclusive breastfeeding discontinuation. Among the analyzed variables were mother's age, chronic diseases, parity, socioeconomic status, education and complications in childbirth. In the case material, mothers who first discontinued breastfeeding were those between 15-19 years of age (42.5%), nulliparous (32.5%), with low socioeconomic status (50.0%) and primary education. It was demonstrated that complications during the childbirth influenced the discontinuation of this type of feeding.

Palabras clave : exclusive breastfeeding; contributing factor; discontinuation; complication; primary health care.
