The BSM Intervention
Guided by the Individual and Family Self-Management Theory, the Lucas team developed the Breastfeeding and BNP Self-Management (BSM) intervention. The BSM intervention uses a cloud-based platform, links to educational modules, and daily journaling, to provide women uniform best practice knowledge and skills for BF and BNP self-management. Strategies include guided imagery, therapeutic breathing, mindfulness, relaxation, non-pharmacological interventions that are integrated within the self-management process such as goal-setting, self-monitoring, problem-solving, and social support through texting. The BSM Intervention: The BSM intervention entailed a daily electronic journal for monitoring BF and BNP with feedings, bi-weekly texting for 6 weeks from a research nurse for informational support and to promote personalized goal-setting and problem-solving, and hyperlinks to eight uniform BNP educational modules (knowledge and skills) and online resources. 1. Fundamentals of BF (FBF), 2. Deep breathing (DB), 3. BNP non-pharmacological strategies (BNPS), 4. Guided imagery (GI), 5. Pain neurophysiology specifically related to BF (PN-BF), 6. Catastrophizing, 7. Stress reactivity, and 8. Common pumping issues and interventions (CPI).
Attention Control
Attention control (AC) participants will receive equivalent attention as the BSM group. The fourth-trimester care based on the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) HEAR HER campaign and infant health information modules will be provided through the REDCap link. Attention Control: The Attention Control and Intervention groups both receive fourth-trimester care videos. The educational modules are the following: Urgent maternal warning signs, caring for the maternal body after birth; infant care; COVID-19 and infant health prevention; maternal and infant immunization; infant safety in the home; maternal and infant dietary recommendations; and national and health resources to support BF in the workplace

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 24 weeks

Population: The Brief Pain Inventory pain severity sum score (item 3, 4, 5, and 6) will quantify breast and nipple pain during breastfeeding at all data points.

The Brief Pain Inventory pain intensity sum score of 4 items (3, 4, 5, and 6). Each item is scored 0-10, the pain intensity sum score ranges from 0-40. The higher the score the worse the pain. A composite score of the average is sometimes reported. Factor analysis verified the two separate factors, pain intensity and interference, found in the previous study. Internal stability (Cronbach alpha) was also examined in this study. Alphas showed good internal consistency, ranging from 0.80 to 0.87 for the four pain intensity items.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 24 weeks.

Population: The Brief Pain Inventory pain interference sum score (items 9a - 9g) will quantify breast and nipple pain during breastfeeding effect on everyday life at all data points.

The Brief Pain Inventory Pain Interference score is the average sum score of 7 items 9a - 9g. Each item is scored 0-5, with a total score of 0-35. Higher scores mean worse pain. A composite score of the average is sometimes reported. Factor analysis verified the two separate factors, pain intensity and interference, found in the previous study. Internal stability (Cronbach alpha) was also examined in this study. Alphas showed good internal consistency, ranging from 0.89 to 0.92 for the seven interference item.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 24 Weeks

Population: Participants reported BNP severity using a visual analogue scale (0 - 100) at baseline and across time. Participants' cumulative BNP (baseline, +1 week, + 2 weeks, +3 weeks, + 6 weeks, + 9 weeks, +12 weeks, +18 weeks, +24 weeks, 0 - 900)

Each weekly score uses the visual analogue score of 0-100. Cumulative Breast and Nipple Pain (BNP) is calculated each week as a summed additive score. Participants' cumulative BNP (baseline +1 week, + 2 weeks, + 3 weeks, + 6 weeks, + 9 weeks, + 12 weeks, +18 weeks, 24 weeks, 0 - 900). Higher cumulative scores represent greater BNP severity. Only individuals who remain in the study scores are reported.

Timeframe: Baseline to 24 weeks

Population: Anxiety PROMIS measure was completed each week by participants retained in the study.

The PROMIS Short Form v1.0 - Anxiety 6a is a 6-item Likert Scale (1-5, never - always). Total raw score range from 6-30. Raw scores are converted to a T-score. The T-score of 50 is the population mean and the average for the US population with a standard deviation of 10. The T-score of 60 is indicative of sub-clinical or elevated levels of anxiety. PROMIS Anxiety shows moderate to strong correlations with Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety.

Attention control participants will receive equivalent attention as the BSM group. The fourth-trimester care based on the CDC HEAR HER campaign and infant health information modules will be provided through the REDCap link. Attention Control: The Attention Control and Intervention groups both receive fourth-trimester care videos. The educational modules are the following: Urgent maternal warning signs, caring for the maternal body after birth; infant care; COVID-19 and infant health prevention; maternal and infant immunization; infant safety in the home; maternal and infant dietary recommendations; and national and health resources to support BF in the workplace

The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) is a 10-item questionnaire is a 10-item Likert Scale from 0 ("Never") to 4 ("Very Often"). The total scores range from 0-40. To calculate a total PSS score, responses to the four positively stated items (items 4, 5, 7 and 8) first need to be reversed (i.e. 0 =\> 4; 1 =\> 3; 2 =\> 2; 3 =\> 1; 4 =\> 0). Higher scores indicate higher levels of perceived stress.

The BSM Intervention
n=122 participants at risk
Guided by the Individual and Family Self-Management Theory, the Lucas team developed the Breastfeeding and BNP Self-Management (BSM) intervention. The BSM intervention uses a cloud-based platform, links to educational modules, and daily journaling, to provide women uniform best practice knowledge and skills for BF and BNP self-management. Strategies include guided imagery, therapeutic breathing, mindfulness, relaxation, non-pharmacological interventions that are integrated within the self-management process such as goal-setting, self-monitoring, problem-solving, and social support through texting. The BSM Intervention: The BSM intervention entailed a daily electronic journal for monitoring BF and BNP with feedings, bi-weekly texting for 6 weeks from a research nurse for informational support and to promote personalized goal-setting and problem-solving, and hyperlinks to eight uniform BNP educational modules (knowledge and skills) and online resources. 1. Fundamentals of BF (FBF), 2. Deep breathing (DB), 3. BNP non-pharmacological strategies (BNPS), 4. Guided imagery (GI), 5. Pain neurophysiology specifically related to BF (PN-BF), 6. Catastrophizing, 7. Stress reactivity, and 8. Common pumping issues and interventions (CPI).
