Analysis of breastfeeding status and influencing factors among healthcare workers in Southwestern China.
Article in International breastfeeding journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis study aims to evaluate the current status of breastfeeding practices among healthcare workers in Southwest China, identify key factors influencing their exclusive breastfeeding (EBF), and provide targeted recommendations for increasing the EBF rate and prolonging EBF duration in this population.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 685 healthcare workers who were ≥ 6 months postpartum, with data collected from January 2019 to January 2024. The questionnaire included items on general demographics, breastfeeding knowledge, and breastfeeding practices. Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) was defined as feeding infants only breast milk from birth, with no other foods or drinks (including water) provided. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors influencing EBF, and based on the results, a nomogram prediction model was constructed and validated using R software.
resultsA total of 685 participants were enrolled in this study, among whom 363 (53.0%) had exclusive breastfeeding durations of less than 5 months (Group A) and 322 (47.0%) continued exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months (Group B). The primary sources of breastfeeding knowledge were the internet and professional consultations, while common barriers included nipple/breast problems and work-related factors. Logistic regression analysis identified four independent factors associated with the continuation of exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months (all p < 0.05): parity (OR 1.86; 95%CI 1.35, 2.58), breastfeeding consultations during pregnancy (OR 1.44; 95%CI 1.04, 2.00), three-shift work resumption (OR 1.67; 95%CI 1.32, 2.10), and family support for breastfeeding (OR 1.90; 95%CI 1.07, 3.37). A nomogram prediction model constructed based on these factors showed an area under the ROC curve of 0.75 (95% CI 0.70, 0.81), indicating good predictive performance with high consistency between predicted and observed outcomes.
conclusionHealthcare institutions should actively provide breastfeeding consultation services, encourage postpartum healthcare workers to delay participation in shift work, and strengthen breastfeeding education to enhance public awareness. These measures will help improve the exclusive breastfeeding rate among infants under 6 months of age.
