Level 2 Development of Professional Care Skills for Breastfeeding

我们的研究评估了助产士在进行乳房按摩时右手手指和手臂的运动，以给母亲提供一种“舒适感”，使用3D视频测量、肌电图和压力指示器进行测量；以及通过α波和视觉模拟量表（VAS）测量的母亲的“舒适感”。结果表明，母亲的α波和视觉模拟量表得分普遍较高，但个体差异不能被忽视；在“舒适”按摩中，右手指和手臂的运动与肌电图和压力指示器的数据之间存在共同点。这些结果可能为舒适专业乳房按摩技术的发展提供新的见解，并可能导致其程序的巩固和标准化。

Our study evaluated the movements of the right fingers and arms of midwives performing breast massage to provide a “feeling of comfort” to mothers, measured using 3D video measurement, electromyography, and a pressure indicator; and the “feeling of comfort” in the mothers, measured through alpha waves and a visual analog scale (VAS). The results showed that mothers’ alpha waves and visual analog scale scores were generally high for “comforting” massage, although individual differences could not be dismissed; and that there were common points between the right finger and arm movements of a “comforting” massage and the data from the electromygraph and pressure indicator. These results may provide new insight into the development of skills for Comfortable Professional Breast Massage, and may lead to consolidation and standardization of its procedure.
