Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

OBJECTIVE: To synthesize qualitative evidence on the father's influence on the mother's decision to maintain or interrupt breastfeeding. METHOD: Qualitative metasynthesis, with systematic searches in the LILACS, PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL databases, supplemented by manual searches. ENTREQ (Enhancing Transparency in Reporting the Synthesis of Qualitative Research) recommendations and the checklist CASP (Critical Appraisal Skills Program) were followed to assess the studies quality. In the data synthesis process, a thematic synthesis approach was used. RESULTS: Of a total of 1,158 references identified, 13 were included. The thematic synthesis allowed the construction of two analytical themes, which qualify paternal influence: 'Difficulty in actively participating in the breastfeeding process', with four descriptive themes, and 'Acting directly or indirectly with the mother during breastfeeding', with three descriptive themes. CONCLUSION: Most studies revealed the decision-making process to be centered on the mother. Health education aimed at fathers during prenatal care contributes to participatory fatherhood and encourages breastfeeding.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
