DOI: 10.31508/1676-3793202507i
ABSTRACT
Breastfeeding is recognized as an essential practice for child health and development; however, several factors interfere with its maintenance and continuity. Thus, this study aimed to identify the main nursing interventions in response to the NANDA-I diagnosis “Ineffective Breastfeeding”. This integrative review was conducted in the MEDLINE/PubMed, LILACS, BDENF, BBO, and Coleciona SUS databases using descriptors in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, combined with the AND and OR Boolean operators. Articles published between 2015 and 2025 were included. After applying the eligibility criteria, 12 studies comprised the final sample. The most recurrent implementations involved educational actions, counseling, and support for the breastfeeding mothers during prenatal and postpartum periods, including the use of educational technologies such as serial albums and telelactation. It has been observed that interventions associated with health education and professional support increase maternal self-efficacy, favoring exclusive breastfeeding and strengthening the mother-baby bond. Nurses play a central role in breastfeeding management, and the application of evidence-based practices and the use of Nursing Process are fundamental to promoting safe, humanized, and effective care.
