Consumo de alcohol, embarazo y lactancia: rol de los profesionales de salud

Palabras clave: consumo de bebidas alcohólicas; embarazo; lactancia

Resumen

Dada la prevalencia del consumo de alcohol durante el embarazo y la lactancia y la implicancia de esta práctica para la salud de los/as bebés, se indagó sobre la información que comparten profesionales de la salud a mujeres (embarazadas o en período de lactancia) sobre el consumo de alcohol durante el embarazo y la lactancia. 86 profesionales (Medad=43.22, DS=9.10) completaron la encuesta completa y 32 sólo las preguntas sobre consumo y lactancia (n total para encuesta de lactancia=118 profesionales; Medad=44.5, DS=8.77). La mayoría destaca la importancia de abordar el consumo de alcohol durante la gestación y la lactancia, pero hay quienes permiten el consumo de alcohol durante estos períodos, a pesar de considerarlo de riesgo entre moderado y alto para el/la bebé. Se visibiliza la importancia de la formación profesional en el tema.
