Objetivos: Avaliar o conhecimento e perspetiva dos médicos obstetras sobre a importância da amamentação no desenvolvimento craniofacial.
Materiais e Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal observacional, por aplicação de um questionário online dirigido a médicos obstetras. Foi também efetuada uma pesquisa bibliográfica de artigos publicados nas bases de dados Pubmed/MEDLINE e SciELO de janeiro a julho de 2023.
Resultados: A amostra consistiu em 66 médicos obstetras, com idade média de 46,1 anos, sendo que 86,4% eram do género feminino e 62,1% desempenham a sua atividade profissional nos setores público e privado. Dos questionados, 87,9% afirmaram que obtiveram conhecimentos acerca da amamentação na sua formação, 53% abordam o tema da amamentação apenas com as grávidas que o questionam e 93,9% informam as grávidas sobre as possíveis dificuldades na amamentação. Grande percentagem dos participantes (81,8%), afirmaram que a ausência da amamentação condiciona o desenvolvimento craniofacial, mais de 60% referiu que pode condicionar o desenvolvimento da oclusão dentária da criança, do padrão de deglutição e respiratório. Metade dos participantes, 57,6% referiu que condiciona a fonação e a articulação das palavras.
Conclusão: O estudo evidenciou que os médicos obstetras, além de demonstrarem conhecimentos acerca da amamentação, também incentivam e orientam as grávidas a adotar esse ato e demonstraram algum conhecimento relativamente às alterações orofaciais resultantes da ausência da amamentação. Não foram encontrados estudos que apresentassem dados sobre o conhecimento de obstetras sobre a temática, recomendando-se a realização de mais estudos, com uma abordagem metodológica semelhante de forma a validar os resultados obtidos.
Objectives: Evaluate obstetricians’ knowledge and perspectives on the importance of breastfeeding in craniofacial development. Materials and Methods: An observational cross-selection study was conducted by administering an online questionnaire to obstetricians. Additionally, a literature search of articles published in the Pubmed/MEDLINE and SciELO databases from January to July 2023 was also carried out. Results: The sample consisted of 66 obstetricians, with an average age of 46.1 years, of wich 86.4% were female and 62.1 % practiced their professional activity in both the public and private sectors. Among those surveyed, 87.9% stated that they adquired knowledge about breastfeeding during their training. About 53% address the topic of breastfeeding only when questioned by pregnat women, and 93.9% provide information to pregnat women about the possible breastfeeding difficulties. A large percentage of the participants (81.8%) stated that the absence of breastfeeding affects craniofacial development, with over 60% mentioning that it can impact the child´s dental occlusion, swallowing pattern and respiratory function. Half of the participants 57.6% also mentioned that it affects speech and word articulation. Conclusion: The study showed that obstetricians in addition to demonstrating knowledge about breastfeeding also encourage and guide pregnant women to adopt this practice and showed some knowledge regarding orofacial changes resulting from the absence of breastfeeding. No studies were found that presented data on obstreticians´ knowledge on the topic, recommending the conduct of further studies with a similar methodological approach to validate the obtained results.
