OBJETIVO: Identificar os fatores associados ao tempo entre o nascimento e o início da amamentação em mães, especialmente no momento do resultado do teste rápido anti-HIV, na internação para o parto.METODOLOGIA: Estudo de coorte com 932 parturientes que fizeram teste rápido anti-HIV na internação para o parto em Hospitais Amigos da Criança. As curvas de sobrevida do tempo do nascimento até a primeira mamada foram estimadas pelo método Kaplan-Meier e o efeito conjunto das variáveis independentes pelo modelo de Cox, com análise hierarquizada. Como as curvas de sobrevida não foram homogêneas entre os cinco hospitais, o que feriu o princípio de proporcionalidade de riscos, os dados foram desmembrados em dois grupos segundo o tempo mediano de início de aleitamento materno ao nascer em mulheres submetidas ao teste rápido anti-HIV.RESULTADOS: Hospitais com tempo mediano de até 60 minutos foram considerados como hospitais de início precoce do aleitamento materno e hospitais com tempo mediano superior foram considerados como hospitais de início tardio do aleitamento materno ao nascer. Foram fatores de risco comuns aos hospitais com início precoce e tardio do aleitamento materno ao nascer: parto cesáreo [RR = 1,75 (IC95%:1,38-2,22); RR = 3,83 (IC95%:3,03-4,85)] e resultado do teste rápido após o parto [RR = 1,45 (IC95%:1,12-1,89); RR = 1,65 (IC95%:1,35-2,02)], respectivamente; e nos hospitais com início tardio de aleitamento materno ao nascer: iniciar o pré-natal no terceiro trimestre (RR = 1,86 (IC95%:1,16-2,97).CONCLUSÕES: O início do aleitamento materno vem sendo postergado, mesmo em Hospitais Amigos da Criança, quando os resultados do teste rápido anti-HIV solicitados na maternidade não estão disponíveis no momento do parto.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that influence of the time between birth and the beginning of breastfeeding, especially at the moment of the rapid HIV test results at hospital admission for delivery.METHODS: Cohort study of 932 pregnant women who underwent rapid HIV test admitted in the hospital for delivery in Baby-Friendly Hospitals. The survival curves of time from birth to the first feeding were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and the joint effect of independent variables by the Cox model with a hierarchical analysis. As the survival curves were not homogeneous among the five hospitals, hindering the principle of proportionality of risks, the data were divided into two groups according to the median time of onset of breastfeeding at birth in women undergoing rapid HIV testing.RESULTS: Hospitals with median time to breastfeeding onset at birth of up to 60 min were considered as early breastfeeding onset and those with higher medians were considered as late breastfeeding onset at birth. Risk factors common to hospitals considered to be with early and late breastfeeding onset at birth were: cesarean section (RR = 1.75 [95% CI: 1.38-2.22]; RR = 3.83 [95% CI: 3.03-4.85]) and rapid test result after birth (RR = 1.45 [95% CI: 1.12-1.89]; RR = 1.65 [95% CI: 1.35-2.02]), respectively; and hospitals with late onset: starting prenatal care in the third trimester (RR = 1.86 [95% CI: 1.16-2.97]).CONCLUSIONS: The onset of breastfeeding is postponed, even in Baby-Friendly Hospitals, when the results of the rapid HIV test requested in the maternity are not available at the time of delivery.

OBJETIVO: Conhecer a existência de alojamento conjunto (AC) nos hospitais que possuem leitos obstétricos da rede pública e conveniada do Estado do Rio de Janeiro e verificar se o AC guarda associação com outro indicador de qualidade de assistência que tem influência sobre o aleitamento materno: as taxas de cesárea (TC) praticadas por esses hospitais. METODOLOGIA: Procedeu-se a um levantamento sobre a existência de AC através de questionário enviado às Secretarias Municipais de Saúde, informação validada por inquérito telefônico. As TC foram obtidas junto à Secretaria Estadual de Saúde-RJ. Foi utilizada a razão de prevalência para a medida da associação entre as variáveis. RESULTADOS: Foi encontrada uma proporção de 65,2% das maternidades com AC, no Estado. Verificou-se relação direta entre a presença de AC e baixas taxas de cesárea no conjunto dos hospitais, porém essa associação não se confirmou com o mesmo peso em todas as regiões. A menor proporção de hospitais com AC foi verificada no cinturão metropolitano (44,2%), enquanto a maior proporção de hospitais com elevadas taxas de cesárea está no interior (73,1%).

OBJECTIVE: To disclose the existence of rooming-in (RI) in public and government contracted private hospitals that offer obstetric beds, in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and to examine whether there is any association between RI and another quality care indicator which influences breastfeeding, namely the rate of cesarean section operations performed in these hospitals. METHOD: A survey was made of the existence of RI through a questionnaire sent to the Municipal Health Offices, the information collected being confirmed by telephone with each maternity hospital. The C-section rate data was obtained from the Rio de Janeiro State Health Office and divided into 2 groups: "below 40%" and "40% and above". The prevalence ratio was applied to the measurement of the association between the variables. RESULTS: A rooming-in rate of 65.2% was found for the State as a whole, with regional variations: a better situation in the capital (84.8%), an intermediate one in the interior (69.9 %), and a worse one in the metropolitan belt (44.2%). The public maternity hospitals revealed a higher rate (89.7%) than that of the government contracted private hospitals (53.3%). A direct relation between the practice of RI and low C-section rates was found in the hospitals. However, this association did not present the same weight in all regions of the State. The lowest proportion of hospitals adopting RI was verified in the metropolitan belt, whereas the highest relative number of hospitals with high C-section rates was observed in the interior. CONCLUSION: It is concluded that to reverse the observed status, government authorities must fulfil their gerencial role within their own health system, as well as in the government contracted private hospitals.
