简介
Background: Rural–urban disparities exist in breastfeeding rates and availability of lactation support. Direct-to-consumer (DTC) telelactation that uses two-way video through personal devices has the potential to increase access to international board-certified lactation consultants (IBCLCs) in rural settings that lack them. This study describes the feasibility and acceptability of DTC telelactation for rural mothers.
Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews among various stakeholders involved in a study exploring the impact of telelactation through mobile phone app in rural Pennsylvania. Interviewees included mother participants assigned to receive telelactation (n = 17), IBCLCs employed by the telelactation vendor (n = 7), and nurses (n = 2) and physicians (n = 1) caring for mother participants at the recruitment hospital. Thematic content analysis was used to analyze qualitative data.
